prevent OnMousedown to trigger when 2 objects overlapping

Question

case :

i want to make ui attached to a 3d object in real world,

-the cube is performing animation when clicked, the trigger is using onmousedown()

-also the ui button which is attached to the cube will toggle an info panel when clicked, the trigger also using onclick() on ui button

problem:

when i clicked on button, both of them perform their action instead only button triggering toggle info panel

i have tried:

i create a script to listen the event with unityevent, it subscribe to buttonscript and cubescript but then the editor not responding when played, now i have no clue

code

button script:

 public void showConsole(){
         Debug.Log("button clicked showconsole");
         toggleClicked();
         e_clickEvent();
         Debug.Log(a+"<<<<<");
     }
 
     public void toggleClicked()
     {
         isActive = !isActive;
         Debug.Log("panel is "+isActive);
     }

*when clicked it trigger showconsole()
*please dont mind toggleClicked(), it only fill with debug log

cube script:

 public void OnMouseDown()
     {
         // triggerAnim();
         e_clickObj();
     }

*please dont mind triggerAnim(), it only fill with debug log

In your mouseclick detection method you could do sth. like this:

 if(EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject()){
      if(!EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject.name.Equals("name of your button")){
            //perform cube animation if my button is not clicked
      }
 }

hi mchts, thanks for your reply.

you did solve my problem of (blocking click of two object instead of one), what i want is block click on cube when i click on button -and succeed, but i think only using :

 if(EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject()){
           
                 //perform cube animation if my button is not clicked
         
      }

already suit my problem, i dunno, when i placed code in

 if(!EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject.name.Equals("name of your button"))

not resulting perform animation.

thank you..

That block was a precaution for preventing your code not to work in case of pressing other buttons rather than your button. Maybe you wrote "name of your button" wrong cause it's not the text of your button, it must be the gameObject name of your button. But using this is up to you ofc.
