Mouse Wheel zoom over raycast target image

Dennis

Hi Anthony,

As seen in the picture, a "Pause" screen is open, which is supposed to intercept all mouse clicks via an image with a raycast target. However, it also intercepts the zoom via the mouse wheel.

Is there a setting for this? I also have screens where this should be intercepted. However, I would like to be able to determine myself what should be intercepted and when.

Thank you 🙂

Dennis Hi! Sorry for the long wait!

I'm afraid you will have to edit the scripts for that, but I can point you to what to edit:

There is a getter that is responsible for indicating if the user's mouse/finger is over the UI inside CameraInputs.cs

It is indeed used when scrolling too. Which may or may not make sense, you can edit/add your own conditions in the GetScroll() method:

As this is a static getter, you can use it anywhere in the code easily with "CameraInputs.IsOverUI"

I hope that helps!

Oh, I found this support request again. Thank you for your help. Since I didn't receive a response at first, I moved the ticket to the next version.

I believe you have already integrated it, and with my last update, it's already in there anyway, correct?

I was confused as to why it suddenly worked. :-)

But I see you have the same difficulties with these things as I do. Because as soon as I scroll in the hierarchy with the trackpad, the camera zooms again because it is no longer ‘over UI’ 🙁

I don't have a reasonable solution in Unity that works on Windows and OSX yet either.

I didn't modify the codebase regarding that. I think within the editor, the focus is on what you clicked last. If you click in the hierarchy then you loose focus on the game view and won't be able to zoom. that's just how unity works I believe.
