How to detect left mouse click but not when the click occur on a UI Button component [closed]

Answer 1

I bet there are better solutions, but the first thing that comes to my mind is that:

Check if you are clicking an UI element, bevor moving your object on mouse up event.

You can check if you hit an UI element by using a GraphicsRaycaster to cast a ray on your mouse position. If it hits anything, then you are clicking on any canvas.
