Render Texture - Picking Mode None

Unity Engine

There is currently no way to make render textures click through, either adding picking mode none to them or making some other way to click through them is a necessity if unity ui tool kit is supposed to be the main ui solution for unity.

Hi @alf3trillion !

Which version of Unity are you using? I tested this using the latest and I can click through a render texture. This is the setup that I used:

<ui:UXML xmlns:ui="UnityEngine.UIElements" xmlns:uie="UnityEditor.UIElements" editor-extension-mode="False">
    <ui:VisualElement style="position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 100%; align-items: center; justify-content: center;">
        <ui:Button text="Button" />
    </ui:VisualElement>
    <ui:VisualElement picking-mode="Ignore" style="position: absolute; height: 100%; width: 50%; background-image: url('project://database/Assets/New%20Render%20Texture.renderTexture?fileID=8400000&guid=b7ad05ee053050345b5726aa95e08a5d&type=2#New Render Texture');" />
</ui:UXML>

I created a new render texture and set it as the output from the main camera.

In the UI Builder, I can go in the preview mode (to allow events on the document) and I attached a gif with the results I get.

Can you give more information about your setup/project so that we can help identify why it is not working for you?
Hope this helps!
