On Mouse Click / On Mouse Release. The later works, the former doesn't. How?!

[lostsomething]

Having trouble getting click events to fire so I made a quick clickable cube to try and figure out what was going on. What you see is the entirety of it. For some reason the on-click event never fires, the on-release event, however, does.

I’ve done what seems to be the usual “why aren’t my clicks being registered?” troubleshooting. Mouse as touch is off (same result if it’s on), the player controller has click enabled, etc. The fact that mouse on-release seems to be working fine would, I think, back that up but what could be causing on-click to fail to register?

Extra wrinkle that makes me even more confused - if I double-click the thing on-clicked does fire exactly once while released hits twice.

… help?

I should probably clarify this isn’t a fresh project, if it were I’d just start over. Click events did work at one point but my partner on it was messing around with a thing he saw on youtube and bound something to left click and they haven’t worked since.

Found a fix, added a Begin Play “Set Input Mode Game and UI” node in the player controller with the widget left as blank. No idea why this fixes it but it does.
