Detect touch events only when NOT touching UI elements

Hi
Am using the following code to detect touch events only when NOT over any UI element. However, it is not working, touch events still propagate.
Can any iOS experts help?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
3.                 if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began && !EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject())

 

I guess someone is trying to make their Zombie walk
I faced the same problem and found this, maybe it helps: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1115464/ispointerovergameobject-not-working-with-touch-inp.html

 

Hahaha yes we are all watching the same ARkit Unity Zombie tutorial! xD lolololol

 

Sometimes, it is necessary to include additional TouchPhase conditions, e.g.

Code (csharp):

1. Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Began || Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Stationary
