GraphicRaycaster.Raycast

Descripción

Determines if the cursor is over a Graphics element in the Scene. See: BaseRaycaster.

Use this to determine if the cursor is over a Graphics element in the Scene. It accepts the mouse pointer event data as a parameter. Make sure you have an EventSystem in your hierarchy. If you don’t, go to Create >UI >Event System. Some common uses of this include: setting up your own custom UI system; telling when you hover over Text or Images which aren’t automatically selectable; UI click and drag operations; and many more.

//Attach this script to your Canvas GameObject.
//Also attach a GraphicsRaycaster component to your canvas by clicking the Add Component button in the Inspector window.
//Also make sure you have an EventSystem in your hierarchy.
