Tapping also activates when pressing on buttons

I’m trying to make a game on android using swipe controls for controlling my character (in 4 directions) and tapping for shooting.
I use this code for the swipe controls:

Simple swipe and tap mobile input

I couldn't find a decent working example of basic swipe and tap input using recent unity versions (as of this writing this works with 5.3 unity) so I went ahead and cobbled a simple snippet together that basically handles it. It isn't heavily battle tested and might not be perfect, but seems to work from the 5 minutes or so of testing I did. Original credit goes to Sujit Horakeri of "the game contriver". EDIT: Note - if you want 8 directional movement and mouse "touch simulation" check the lat…

The problem i have with this is: when i “tap” my screen on a UI element (a button for example), it shoots aswell. I tried fixing this with:
if (!EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject(Input.GetTouch(0).fingerId))
And then shooting afterwards, but that didn’t work.
I pause my game by doing:
Time.timeScale = 0.0f;
But I think when i (for example) press pause, the tap registers first (so it shoots) and then it sets the timescale, so checking for :
if(Time.timeScale != 0.0f;
also doesn’t work.

If anyone could help me out, it would be great!

Hello I don’t really see a solution by using this asset, the scripts also don’t handle this UI problem
