A problem with UI layering.

Hello!

I have a small problem. I've got an Inventory in which you can pick items from the inventory slots and place them inside of other free slots. Of course I'd like the item icon (when picked up) to be following the mouse and be displayed above all of the slots but unfortunately I can't do that. If I place the "Cursor Image" object at the bottom of the Inventory hierarchy it gets rendered on top of everything else but that prevents the Event Trigger object that's placed on all of the slots from detecting a "Pointer Click" event that is supposed to place the item inside of that slot.

Here's a video as an explanation of my problem.

P.S. The object "Cursor Image" is just a UI Image that follows the mouse cursor and get's activated and assigned the item icon as a sprite when an item is picked up.

 

@DBether - I think you better check Unity UI examples, IIRC it had a solution for this.

 

Thank you, it works.
