Input override does not work with Unity UI menu

jjs2018

Hi

I want to take control over mouse clicks on my inventory menu.
I've written the following code as a test:

private void Start()
    {
        KickStarter.playerInput.InputGetMouseButtonDownDelegate = MyGetMouseButtonDown;
    }

private bool MyGetMouseButtonDown(int btnPressed)
    {
        return false;
        //return Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0);
    }

This works fine with an source AC menu - no clicks are registered and nothing happens when clicking on a menu element.
But my menus are source Unity in Scene and when I shift to this the override has no effect - the inventory menu behaves as normally, registering left end right clicks.

Do input overrides only work with AC menus?

Yes - Unity UI input is set by the EventSystem and associated input module.

AC has it's own such module that will be spawned automically, but you can override this by creating a new EventSystem prefab and assigning it at the top of the Menu Manager.

If you use Unity's top toolbar to create a new UI -> Event System, you can modify the "Submit" input button to your own needs, make it a prefab, and then assign it in the Menu Manager.

Logic and simple.
Great - it works for me now - thanks!
