    Hello,

    Is there a way to have a UI Mask clip a UI element and then ignore pointer events like clicks when the pointer is over part of the clipped mask ?

    In my case, I'd like to have a minimap that is round, and I'd like the EventSystem to ignore clicks that are done in the clipped area in the corners.

    This is answered in the FAQ here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/frequently-asked-ui-questions.264479/ under "How do I make UI elements have non-rectangular hitboxes?".

    One thing to note if you use the per-pixel hit detection in the linked script by senritsu, make sure the import settings on your sprite have Mesh Type set to "Full Rect", otherwise it wont work.
