Cannot select component in scene

Been working on a 2d platformer for a few weeks now. Today I cannot select some components from scene. Usually the cursor changes from an arrow to a cross indicating that you can now select but that does not happen with the effected components. I used the same sprite throughout the level. Only some instances have this problem. I can select them from the World Outliner though.

Been going through those that work and those that do not. The only difference apart from location and size is that I changed the material to the TranslucentUnlitSpriteMaterial. When I change it back to the default training mat it works.

LOL… OK so on the top of you editor window is Settings. There under “Selection” is “Allow Translucent Selection”, with a shortcut T . Cant imagine what it’s for but I must have accidentally hit T while in the editor…

Hello Slither1701,

To clarify a few things I would like to ask you a few questions.

1.) Can you change the material and you are able to select your assets again?
2.) Can you reproduce this in a new blank project?
3.) Would you link me a copy of your DxDiag ( Computer Specs ) ?
4.) Would you please provide screenshots illustrating the issue of not having the ability to select components?

After I have this information I will continue to investigate this further.

Ah, good to know. I am glad that you were able to resolve this issue yourself. Good luck with the rest of your game development.
