Physic Raycaster on UI : Issue since 5.1.0f3

Hi there,

I'm facing issue with Physics Raycaster. I'm actually using the OnDrag event on an object. I put a layer on this object and put only this layer on the Physics Raycaster mask of my camera.

In 5.0 the raycaster ignored the UI and it was all good.
Now in the 5.1, the PointerCurrentRaycast tells me that he hits UI element (a button)

Someone is facing the same issue ? Is something changed about raycasters ?

I had to replace every PointerEventData.worldPosition by PointerEventData.pointerCurrentRaycast.worldposition, because the first one give me 0,0,0 since update.

Thanks a lot !

 

Hi,
just faced problem with this raycast and it was fixed after i added checking for
if (eventData.pointerCurrentRaycast.isValid)

Looks like unity not always make raycast. May be it will help you.

 

Yes, we have the same problem too after updating Unity.
Simply adding "if (eventData.pointerCurrentRaycast.isValid)" doesn't fix it.
I have to also check "if (eventData.pointerCurrentRaycast.distance > 0)".

However, the result is changed a little bit. Lets say we use the world position of event data to do camera dragging in our mobile game. Before the update, camera can still be dragged even if the touch moves onto UI. But now, we can no longer calculate the position delta and hence cannot move camera. Though this isn't something unacceptable, we prefer the original behaviour, that is, pointerCurrentRaycast can ignore UI.

In fact, we have a PhysicsRaycaster on the camera with the appropriate layer mask selected. The UI layer is excluded. So, shouldn't raycast ignore UI layer?

 

I reported that (Case 707026).
and i've got a answer from Tim C, it has been fixed at 5.3.
But seriously, 5.3? it's december. i've already suffered these kind of raycast issues almost half of a year.

 

Thanks jhkimblue. I hope I have the time to report that but we have a very tight schedule right now.
What about Unity 4? We are using 4.6.8p1.
