Graphic Raycaster used to have a priority?

Graphic Raycaster used to have a priority to allow ordering of input.
Has this functionality changed in p1? Could not find in notes?
Thanks.

 

http://docs.unity3d.com/460/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.BaseRaycaster-priority.html
this has been removed in new 4.6 and new local docs

 

I have a full screen button on a [screen space - camera] canvas and a button in the corner on a [screen space - overlay] canvas
the button on the overlay canvas is not clickable!?
i used to be able to fiddle with GraphicRaycaster.priority to make this button clickable in last build rc3

 

I can confirm rakkarage's bug.

I have same problem. I'm waiting for p2 passionately!

 

I'v checked 4.6.1 and it is not fixed yet.

 

I've checked https://bitbucket.org/philip_cosgrave/philunity-uibugfixes and it is fixed there if you checkout and build and copy the dlls

 

I have also troubled by this problem.
In particular, if I set the RenderMode to WorldSpace or ScreenSpaceCamera, when using the same time, problematic.
Has been ignored that ScreenSpace-Overlay is always the front.
Whether Depth of Camera is reflected, I do not know well.

 

Sorry. I have not yet done.
I can not immediately. Please wait at a later date

 

What's happening here is that the default raycaster priority is int.maxValue and gets applied to any GraphicRaycaster on a non-Overlay canvas. The way I fixed it was to create a new component that extends GraphicRaycaster and overrides the sortOrderPriority property:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class WorldRaycaster : GraphicRaycaster {
2.  
3.     [SerializeField]
4.     private int SortOrder = 0;
5.  
6.     public override int sortOrderPriority {
7.         get {
8.             return SortOrder;
9.         }
10.     }
11. }

But presumably the correct way to do this is to have GraphicRaycaster let us set the priority ONLY in cases where its canvas is set to something other than overlay.

 

Hi Phil, thanks for your responsiveness on this issue. I've tried pulling your branch, but unfortunately my issue still remains. It's a slight modification of rakkarage's. Instead of a screenspace-camera canvas and screenspace - overlay canvas, all my canvases are screenspace-camera. The canvases don't seem to be sorting correctly in the event system.

Changing the if statement in GraphicRaycaster.sortOrderPriority to...

if ((canvas.renderMode == RenderMode.ScreenSpaceOverlay) || (canvas.renderMode == RenderMode.ScreenSpaceCamera))

...seems to fix the issue.

I've attached a sample project that demonstrates the issue.

 

I tried Patch 4.6.1p1.
It is running with no problems.

 

Hi Phil, I tried the 4.6.1p1 patch, unfortunately this did not resolve the issue with RenderMode.ScreenSpaceCamera. Will this be resolved in the next patch?

Thanks!

 

Please consider some way to give us back the priority for canvas, as with p1 patch there is also an issue when I have button (Screen Space) and behind it is a button (World Space) and the World button is getting all the attention even if in the hierarchy the world button is first. In 4.6.0 and priority set in the right way everything worked fine.

 

I am so happy. I was just looking at an issue of our debug menu not being clickable just before I left work. It is experiencing the problem listed here. I was confused and now I am not

 

Thank you Phil for looking into it. I have some temporary fixes to hold the QA testers at bay for now

 

Thanks phil, I will try to make an example for you.

In short what I think the problem is:

I have an overlay buttons and then on start I load from resources a prefab with some world buttons.
In 4.6.0. version on load and instantiate world buttons are behind the overlay buttons (set in priority).
In 4.6.1 p1 this is not happening. Even after I manually move in hierarchy world buttons in run-time they are the one that have raycaster attention. And if I change the name of prefab to go first in hierarchy (which is not good for robust ui) its not working. I didn't try to set in code the sibling order after the instantiation but that is also not so intuitive for work with prefabs.

Hope this helped a little.

 

Hey Phil,

I would be down to test out your fix in our project. Our game is made of 100% Unity GUI with a mixture of overlays and camera canvases.

 

I would like to test too.

 

Hi Phil
I have tried your new repo and it still not working
Here are 2 file. :

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27558116/kshaja/460.7z

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27558116/kshaja/461.7z

It is the same simple scene containing just one canvas - camera screen overlay and button on it and
another canvas - world space with an image. In Unity 4.6.0 you can click on button. In Unity 4.6.1 you cant.

Please open the corresponding scene in appropriate Unity version to check.

 

Phil, to be on the same track, are you using 4.6.1p1 with new repo?

 

Sorry to bother everyone but I am suspecting I have run into this problem too... here is my thread... http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/prefab-buttons-stopped-working-since-unity-4-6-1.287429/

In short: I have an "alert" panel covering all screen, its contained buttons are NOT tappable (well on some scenes they still are, but not on the main game scene since 4.6.1 - used to work on 4.6.0). On the game scene, I can access the covered game interface even though the alert is displayed on top of (as last sibling) all the other game elements.

Running Unity 4.6.1f1

Is there a fix for this somewhere? any workarounds? No? Is Unity UI touch priorities broken?

 

Thank you very much phil, I just cloned your fork and compiled and so far PointerEnter and PointerExit events act as expected respecting the 2d layer order! Finally... I have to point however that the GetMouseButtonDown part is still glitchy and missing hits but at least now we got something going.
Thank you very much again I encourage you all to hit this link: https://bitbucket.org/philip_cosgrave/philunity-uibugfixes/branch/eventsystemrewrite and compare the event interactions after you played with the project I attached for my issue here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/se...lliders-based-on-their-world-position.265619/
I will take a good look at the diffs you introduced in your fork and get my hands dirty meanwhile you should issue a pull request to UI guys.

 

So forgive my ignorance, but what do I need to do to implement the new code repo? I haven't ever tried to get this deep into the engine before.

My problem is slightly different, but I believe its the same issue. In my scene I have a bunch of cubes with colliders and event triggers attached. I also have a screen space - overlay canvas. The cubes render behind the canvas, but are blocking clicks on to the canvas. If I move the cubes behind the origin then everything works as expected.

Reverting back to 4.6.0 fixes the issue. I might just sit on this version till someone can confirm this is fixed.

 

Make sure only positive numbers are used while ordering canvases. I had an issue where canvas with sort order -1 was rendered behind everything, but captured the clicks. It was explained by Unity folks that there was a bug related to sorting raycasters. Though both canvas and raycaster now user canvas' sort order, canvas sort order is int, raycaster is unsigned int; -1 converted to unsigned int equals INT_MAX.

 

Hi guys,

similar problem over here Keyboard not working in 4.6.1

I'm glad to see you over here goodtime! I have sent you a private message because the problem that I mention above happens under your Utage code.
By the way, patch 4.6.1p didn't solve my problem so I think that I will come back to 4.6.0 until goodtime or someone else can give me a solution.

 

Is the 5.0 beta using the same UI release as 4.6? I'm seeing this exact problem in 5.0.0.b18 as well.

 

Come on ，plz give back the Canvas priority,I have installed the p2 version, but still have bugs when I have two canvas(both are Screen Space - Camera).

 

Hi,phil, I used your branch ,still no working for me . Maybe the attached project file can demonstrates what I am talking about.

 

Finaly,I decide to change a little bit code in GraphicRaycaster.cs, and everything works for me now .

Code (CSharp):

1.  public override int sortOrderPriority
2.         {
3.             get
4.             {
5.                 // We need to return the sorting order here as distance will all be 0 for overlay.
6.                 if (canvas.renderMode == RenderMode.ScreenSpaceOverlay || canvas.renderMode == RenderMode.ScreenSpaceCamera)
7.                     return canvas.sortingOrder;
8.  
9.                 return base.sortOrderPriority;
10.             }
11.         }

 

Hi Phil,
I have tried your repo in version 4.6.1 too, and the demo file I have send you is still no working for me .
I will just wait than for the new version to see how it is behaving.
For the 3D game I am developing, which is purely made with uGui, with lot of canvases, with all three render modes, with prefabs made of canvases,with drag and drops, everything is working perfect in 4.6.0.
I think that the ability to set priorities by hand should be there like an option for a advanced users.
