[XR Interaction Toolkit] GUI not blocking AR Placement Raycasts

As mentioned in the Headline it is currently not working for me to Block the PlacementRaycasts with a GUI-Overlay. If a Plane is already detected none of the GUI-Elements(Buttons, Panels,etc.) are Blocking the Placement Raycast. So if for example a button is pressed, maybe an object is also placed.

Can somebody copy that? Or does someone already have a fix/WA for that?

A fix is coming in the next release, for now:


If you'd like to fix it locally in your package code, it's in XRRayInteractor.cs: Line 319
Change
if (raycastPointIndex < positionInLine || ((raycastPointIndex == rayIndex) && (raycastHit.distance <= distance)))

To
if (raycastPointIndex < rayIndex || ((raycastPointIndex == rayIndex) && (result.distance <= distance)))

 

Thank you, I will try that out ;-)

 

Oh I forgot to mention that this is an AR problem on my Side. So no XRRayInteractor in use. Edited the title...

 

So sadly thats not working...

 

Oh apologies, I can see why now perhaps, worth reporting with the Unity Bug reporter

 

Is there any Change to Catch that Rays when there is a Gameobject(GUI) over them @ROBYER1 ?

 

The latest release of XR Interaction Toolkit fixes it

 

does it? Had some Troubles updating to it because it shot my omnisharp. Will try that out in a minute

 

I'm not quite sure what u ment but I am still able to "click trough the GUI and place an AR Object" :-(

 

Check the layers on your raycaster, ensure the layer that your UI uses is a mask or layer in there, try adding and removing it as a layer to see if that makes any difference.

 

We are talking from the GraphicRaycaster attached to my GUI right? Because in the AR Scene - I do not have a Raycaster - Only the ARPlacementInteractable Script. And there I try to set the InteractionLayers and Excluded UI (because UI has Layer UI).... So are we talking of the same Setup?

 

I'm using the VR Raycasters, however in the documentation and setup they are rather similar. All I can suggest is to try excluding and not excluding the layer your UI is using on that script for object placement. Also ensure that any image or button component in your UI blocking the raycast has Raycast Target ticked.

If you are still having problems please report it using Unity Bug Reporter https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting

 

I already checked that but it really seems to be a Bug of the Toolkit. I tried catching the Click-Events over a `CustomStandaloneInputModule` and therefore again edit the package local, however i cant find the right point to Call the EventSystems.EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject() since the behaviour is always off by 1. If i click 10 times on the UI - at the first click an object is placed the other 9 clicks not. If i clicked on the UI before and then click on the target plane 10 times the first hit does nothing and the other 9 placing objects. I tried to catch the Event in TapGesture.cs...

 

Finally I found a workaround :
