  • Type: Property
  • Namespace: UnityEngine
  • Assembly: UnityEngine.CoreModule
public int eventMask { get; set; }

Remarks

Just as the camera's 
cullingMask
determines if the camera is able to see the GameObject, the event mask determines whether the GameObject is able to receive mouse events. Only objects visible by the camera and whose 
layerMask
overlaps with the camera's 
eventMask
will be able to receive OnMouseXXX events. Setting this mask to zero will improve performance and is recommended if you don't use OnMouseXXX events. See Layers for more information.
