Multitouch disabled for UI only

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to disable multitouch for the UI elements only?
What I am trying to achieve is use the pinch functionality to zoom in the game, but I don't want the UI elements to stay in the way and trigger.
The scenario I am looking for is that once you touch the screen with your second finger it would stop sending events to the UI elements.
Is there a simple way of doing this?

Thanks in advance

 

It's Ironic really but the UI started out single touch only and was updated to support multi-touch.

There isn't a way using the shipped input modules to restrict touch count, however you can take a copy of the TouchInputModule and change it to be single touch again (or preferably with an editor option to make it single / multiple ). THen use your new version attached to the event system instead of the default one.
You can see the code for the Input Modules here:

Thanks for the reply, not sure I'll be creating a alternative input module as my project is still in very early production phase and the UI controls are likely to change. Was hoping there was a one line code solution or something, but it seems there isn't.

Thanks anyways.
