OnPointerEnter and OnPointerExit not being triggered Unity
Alright so basically the issue that I've been having is that for some reason a GameObject is interfering with the OnPointerEnter function. I'm pretty sure that OnPointerEnter detects only UI. So that's why I'm extremely confused when seeing that a specific GameObject in this case the PlayerLogic GameObject (which you can see in the screenshot) is for some reason interfering with the detection of UI elements. The reason I believe it is this specific GameObject is because once I do PlayerLogic.SetActive(false); OnPointerEnter starts to work again, and I'm also sure that it isn't any of the children of PlayerLogic because I've tried turning them off specifically and it still didn't work.

The code I'm using to test OnPointerEnter
After some testing I've realized that its the specific issue lies within the Player script on the PlayerLogic GameObject. Now what confuses me is that once I turn off the Player component OnPointer doesn't work, but if I were to remove the Player component completely from the PlayerLogic GameObject OnPointerEnter works.

Solution
I'm pretty sure that OnPointerEnter detects only UI.
No.
It works "out of the box" on UI because by default every Canvas contains a GraphicsRaycaster component which is then used and handled by the EventSystem.
For non-UI 3D objects you have to make sure
- your objects have 3D Colliders
- the Colliders are on the same object as the
IPointerXYinterfaces - on your
Camerathere is aPhysicsRaycastercomponent
For non-UI 2D objects quite similar
- your objects have a 2D Collider
- the colliders are on the same object as the
IPointerXYinterfaces - the
Camerahas aPhysics2DRaycastercomponent
For both UI and 3D/2D objects you have to have the EventSystem in your scene.
Note that it is possible that any other collider or in general raycast blocking object is between your input and the target object which would also prevent the OnPointerXY to be triggered on your objects.
is simply a capsule shaped Collider which can be told to move in some direction from a script.
which is probably blocking the input.
Now with your Player code:
You do
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
in Awake so even if you turn it off afterwards this already took effect.
