Detect selection via touch or mouse click on a GameObject/Sprite?

Hi. I've been searching and watching some of the new 4.6 videos, etc. It isn't clear to me what the best way to handle this is.

Put simply, I am going to have a few 2D sprite objects on the screen. I want to create a unified way of determining if a character is either clicked (mouse) or touched/tapped regardless of whether it is running on a tablet or on a PC/Mac.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Not asking for anyone to do my homework for me.

Thanks!

 

Found this that may help. Script only needs to be in the scene somewhere, they recommend the camera. Then you can universally use OnMouseDown for touches as well as mouse clicks. You could even extend it for all the other functionality like OnMouseMove and all that.

 

Excellent! Thank you for providing this.

Best,
