OnMouseOver 2D sprite

So It appears that you can't use the OnMouseOver function over an object with a 2Dboxcollider and I'd like to know what alternatives do we have to achieve the same results with a sprite or button, or how to implement the same behaviour with raycasts or anything which could help

 

If you haven't found something yourself, this might be able to help you further:

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D.OverlapPoint.html

With that you can check if there was a collision at a certain point (mouse position). If that's the case you check if the collider you hit is the one attached to your Sprite and if so then you know the player clicked on it

 

Sure you can.
