Unable to spawn unit due to DragBox "blocking" the rays

First off: Great course. It holds your hand a bit much (I.E. not pushing me too at all) following along with a few pauses at 1.25 speed seems to work for me

Glitch with spawning

Hello, I’m hoping someone can help me out with a slight glitch I am having. Here is the problem. When I click on the unit spawner it doesn’t always spawn a unit. I’ve tested the following: moving the mouse between clicks gives me the infrequent spawning. not moving the mouse between clicks leads to nothing ever spawning. the location of the click (so long as its on the spawner box) has made no noticeable diffence. If a unit doesn’t spawn clicking Spot A, and a unit doesn’t spawn clicking Spot…

Turning on the selection box is blocking clicks to the Unit Spawner

After completing the “Selecting Multiple Units” lecture I was no longer able to click on the unit spawner to spawn units. I narrowed the problem down to the Start Selection Area function and found that commenting out the line unitSelectionArea.gameObject.SetActive(true); allowed me to start clicking on the unit spawner again. It seems that turning on the drag box happens every time I click, and it prevents the unitSpawner from receiving any clicks. Any ideas on what might need to change? To doub…

Is still not addressed in video,.
This forces anyone taking the lecture to be confused and think they’ve done something wrong, look through parts of, if now all of, the video again if they’re not lucky to look though the comments and find the answer.

I hope that you’ll do a small cut mentioning how to solve this issue in an appropriate time.

Solution: Canvas -> Graphics Raycaster -> Remove Component

Hi there, thanks for your feedback and for bringing that unresolved graphics raycaster bug to our attention. It’s being looked into, and I appreciate you taking the time to post about it.

Thanks for the solution! This spared me from having to rewatch the lecture to see if I missed anything

I now noticed that this is addressed in the next lecture (Unique Video Reference: 10_RT_UYM) at 9:15 ish.
Meaning that if you actually test your project at all (something you really, really should do), you have problem.
If you just continue on and hope for the best, you get the answer to this issue…

Also: I did not have issues “sometimes”, I had issues 100% of the time, meaning basically nothing worked.
