sounds like you have some other UI/2D Node above it that stops the imputs. Probably one set to full rectangle.

hearty coyote sounds like you have some other UI/2D Node above it that stops the imputs. Proba...

but my upgradescreen with upgradecards are in my upgrademanager at the top of my game if you look in my 'remote'. Isn't it how higher its placed the more forward in z-index?

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 11:42 AM

#

~~it is~~ No it's the other way around, and all CanvasItems can also add z-offset. CanvalsLayers also have it set to a higher value by default if i remember correctly.

hearty coyote ~~it is~~ No it's the other way around, and all CanvasItems can also add z-offse...

I made so the z-index is 4096(maxed) for the upgradecard and upgradescreen, but it still doesnt work.

For my upgradescreen i made all mouse_filters 'pass', and for the upgrade_cards inside the upgradeScreen i made all mouse_filters 'stop' is this ok?

#

as long as you don't call accept_event() inside the ones set to pass it should be fine.

#

do you have the VBoxContainer and Labels of the Upgrade Card set to pass/ignore?

#

those are also in front of the node you want to get the input from.

hearty coyote those are also in front of the node you want to get the input from.

vbox and labels all set to 'ignore'

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 12:09 PM

#

mighty stratus vbox and labels all set to 'ignore'

and it still doesn't work?

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 12:09 PM

#

nope

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 12:10 PM

#

try launching the ability_upgrade_card-scene on it's own (F6) and try if it works.

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 12:12 PM

#

no, it doesn't, added a breakpoint on the on_gui_input func, and didnt get there

#

okay

#

fixed it so the scene alone works

#

but in full game still not working

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 12:16 PM

#

what did you change?

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 12:19 PM

#

I put the panelcontainer mouse input on 'stop'

#

panelcontainer, AbilityUpgradeCard

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 12:21 PM

#

how are you checking if the panel got clicked?

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 12:23 PM

#

like this, with the gui_input

#

so I initialised a child of abilityupgradecard inside upgrade_screen and ran the current screen upgrade_sceen, and this also worked fine.

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 12:32 PM

#

i really don't know anymore. the last thing to try would be to use the _gui_input()-virtual Function instead.

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 12:37 PM

#

tried that, still doesnt work.

#

np man, thanks for the help

#

will maybe just go back into my git and try to test it step by step, and checking what could be the problem

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 12:39 PM

#

that's will probably be the only way to pin down what causes this.

#

good luck

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 12:40 PM

#

thanks mate, and for the help

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 12:48 PM

#

mighty stratus thanks mate, and for the help

what i found that could help is Viewport.gui_get_hovered_control() which returns the control node the mouse is currently inside and should be the same one that recieves the gui_input.

#

and then get it's NodePath with get_path() to find it in your tree.

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 1:02 PM

#

okay, added it and when i hover over my upgrade_card i get this instead

Currently hovering over 660: MarginContainer

Path: /root/Main/Users/User/player/PlayerUI/2D UI/MarginContainer
Instance ID: 48922363343

#

so it doesnt detect my upgrade card on top

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 1:05 PM

#

i had the feeling that it might have something to do with the CanvasLayer hidden inside your player scene.
But it's still weird since you said that your upgrade card is displayed on top.

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 1:08 PM

#

the game looks like this

there is nothing in the middle of the screen, only the cards, so hard to tell when playing if the cards or the playerUI/2d ui is in front

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 1:10 PM

#

well it doesn't look like it's in front, and it shouldn't be as long as the layer index is smaller.

#

and you said that you set it to the one for the upgrades to the limit.

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 1:15 PM

#

yes, i put the margincontainer inside UpgradeScreen on 4096 and AbilityUpgradeCard also on 4096

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 1:20 PM

#

that last one shouldn't be necessary, but yeah, no idea why the player ui takes the input. do you need that one to capture gui_events? Else probably disable them to be safe.

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 1:29 PM

#

hearty coyote that last one shouldn't be necessary, but yeah, no idea why the player ui takes ...

ha ha

#

fixed

#

put the mouse filter of the margincontainer inside the 2dUI on ignore

#

does the trick

#

is possible that i will need mouse input in the 2dui but that are problems for later

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 1:31 PM

#

hearty coyote that last one shouldn't be necessary, but yeah, no idea why the player ui takes ...

thanks for the help mate

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 1:32 PM

#

glad to hear. might have something to do with having ui as a child of 3d-nodes, but that isn't really my territory and still sounds like a weird reason.

mighty stratus Oct 24, 2024, 1:33 PM

#

yups, will maybe add the upgrade_screen and cards to my player_ui instead of under my upgrademanager

#

but still happy it works now

hearty coyote Oct 24, 2024, 1:37 PM

#

if you want to add ui to your player you could use Camera3D.unproject_position() to get the 2D-position on screen. i also have the feeling that's the only way to make ui follow an object in 3d.

#

or just keep it static if the player always stays in the center.
