Feedback Overriding StandaloneInputModule methods

Some methods in StandaloneInputModule would be nice to override but they are not marked virtual. Interestingly, the function I was hoping to override, ProcessTouchPress, mentions that it can be overridden in derived classes but is itself not virtual. It seems the idea was to allow for this type of extension but it was never exposed.

StandaloneInputModule.cs:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. /// <remarks>
3. /// This method can be overridden in derived classes
4. /// to change how touch press events are handled.
5. /// </remarks>
6. protected void ProcessTouchPress(PointerEventData pointerEvent,
7.                                  bool pressed,
8.                                  bool released)
9. {
10.     // ...
11. }
12.  

Is this something that will be changed in the future?

 

I totally agree. I am not sure why they would indicate that you can override these parts of the UI system to customize the way input is handled, but not actually implement it that way after all this time.

 

I'm also very frustrated, I spent a few hours and still do not understand how to override it, and that remark looks like a bad joke. I dont want to edit all button's scripts in my huge project
