C# - TextArea Interfering with Input.GetMouseButtonUp (Unity Bug ?)

Hey there,

Lately i've been surpassing myself in finding/creating S***ty bugs !!
Here's my last one...

When i debug.log : Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0), the event isnt detected the first time it happens.

Here, the first and third debug.log work and the second (input.getmousebuttonup) dont.

My SelectedState script (called in Update from a monobehaviour script)

Code (CSharp):

1.     public void UpdateState(){
2.         Debug.Log ("SelectedState/Updating1");
3.         if(Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)){
4.             Debug.Log("WHY ARENT YOU DEBUGING UP ???");
5.             lastPos = Input.mousePosition;
6.             ToPatrolState();
7.         }
8.  
9.         Debug.Log ("SelectedState/Updating2");
10.             delta = Input.mousePosition - lastPos;
11.             delta.x = delta.x / Screen.width;
12.             delta.y = delta.y / Screen.height;
13.  
14.             Vector3 targetPos;
15.             targetPos = new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, distance);
16.             targetPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(targetPos);
17.             sphere.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(sphere.transform.position,targetPos, Time.deltaTime*0.6F);
18.  
19.     }

Please don't troll me, YES i've released the left button

The weird thing is, it won't detect the buttonup, BUT, if i click again it works.

EDIT : Ok, si i just found in the documentation that : it will not return true until the user has pressed the mouse button and released it again. Sorry...

EDIT 2 : I decided to move the trigger MouseButtonUp in the update void of the script attached to the related gameobject and it still doesnt work !!

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Update()
2.     {
3.  
4.         if(Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)){
5.             Debug.Log("UP");
6.         }
7.         currentState.UpdateState ();
8.  
9.  
10.     }

It's driving me crazy

This second script is derived from monobehaviour... Unless i'm missing something, update should be called every frame... Why isnt it debuging "UP" ?

Thanks,

 

Works fine for me just typing:

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update()
2. {
3.     if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
4.     {
5.           Debug.Log("Down");
6.     }
7.    if(Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
8.     {
9.           Debug.Log("Up");
10.     }
11. }

However I am not using C# 6.0 so :/

 

Hey,

Of course it should work
Thats why its driving me crazy !!

I'm sure I've already used it that way...

I've also tried to debug it from another empty monohobehavour derived script attached to the camera, still doesnt work...

Some precisions : it never works the first time, but it works from the second time i press the button and release it... oO

+ it works just fine with an empty project + empty scene... oO oO oO oO
I'm sure i didnt go into the input options... What should i check ?

 

Heeeey,

I've found the reason it wasnt working, but it doesnt make any sense to me...

TextArea was GUIlty (huhuhu) :

Code (CSharp):

1.     void OnGUI(){
2.         GUI.skin = myDataSkin;
3.  
4.         GUI.TextArea (new Rect(0,0,Screen.width, Screen.height), "Temps de jeu:" + myData.Game_Duration.ToString("F2") + "secondes");
5.  
6.     }

I found out commenting the code, then rescaling the textarea (width/2 and height/2) and clicking outside of the area (in the corners).

Could someone explain me why is the GUI.textarea preventing to get the input.mousebuttonup(0) ? + why does it only happen the first time you click??

 

I have no idea, but the click box, lets call it, may have been very small and you scaled it up

 

Yep you're right, those textareas didn't need to be that large. But textareas aren't "buttons", or clickbox as you call it, so they shouldn't interfere with the Input.GetMouseButton calls.

+ there is absolutely nothing about it online, and i know Unity has updated its GUI system recently. Isn't it a Unity bug that should be reported?

 

In the inspector, untick 'Raycast Target' for the TextField, this will stop it blocking UI components below it.

 

Hey,

Thanks for answering.
There is no TextField or TextArea component in my editor as i'm generating them from script.

Thanks,

 

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.         var t = UnityEngine.UI.Text;
3.         t.raycastTarget = false;

Edit: Sorry just realised you are using the old OnGUI stuff, not the new 4.6 GUI elements, ignore what I said.

However the old GUI stuff doesn't block clicks on stuff behind it, which was in fact one of the most annoying things about using it.

 

I tripped on the same Problem. When clicking on an Input.TextField calling Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0) only works the second time I pressed it.
You found an Solution?
