OnTouch screen works but UI Button doesnt

hello,

I have a scene in my gave where a player can just create aloud of fireworks (mini game) but I want to have a button to exit this. I have set up the UI and canvas correctly but it still doesn't work and I think the firework script is overwriting the Button click and is just setting off a firework.

my Script for fireworks is:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Fireworks : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8.     List<GameObject> prefabList = new List<GameObject>();
9.     public GameObject Prefab1;
10.     public GameObject Prefab2;
11.     public GameObject Prefab3;
12.     public GameObject Prefab4;
13.     public GameObject Prefab5;
14.     public GameObject Prefab6;
15.     public GameObject Prefab7;
16.     public GameObject Prefab8;
17.  
18.     // Start is called before the first frame update
19.     void Start()
20.     {
21.         prefabList.Add(Prefab1);
22.         prefabList.Add(Prefab2);
23.         prefabList.Add(Prefab3);
24.         prefabList.Add(Prefab4);
25.         prefabList.Add(Prefab5);
26.         prefabList.Add(Prefab6);
27.         prefabList.Add(Prefab7);
28.         prefabList.Add(Prefab8);
29.  
30.     }
31.  
32.     // Update is called once per frame
33.     void Update()
34.     {
35.         if (Input.touchCount > 0)
36.         {
37.             Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
38.             Vector2 touchPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(touch.position);
39.  
40.             if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began)
41.          
42.             {
43.             int prefabIndex = UnityEngine.Random.Range(0, 8);
44.             Instantiate(prefabList[prefabIndex], touchPos, Quaternion.identity);
45.  
46.             }
47.  
48.         }
49.     }
50. }

it there something I need to do to make a button work?

thanks,

 

Why not just make your list public and add the stuff to it in the inspector?

I believe you can use this to check if over a button https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/EventSystems.EventSystem.IsPointerOverGameObject.html

 

Ooo I did look at this but I thought it was only for mouse click and not finger touch but I've noticed the section at the bottom.

Will try this tonight. Thanks!
