Anyone know if node2d mouse interactions can work inside of control nodes? Basically I have a computer screen in my game that's projected from a subviewport onto a mesh that is the computer screen. My mouse functionality works with UI buttons on the screen, but I also want to be able to drag and drop certain items within the computer's UI. I realize that this asset library demo exists (https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/2767), but I want a Balatro style drag and drop where you actually pick up and move objects. I've tried using a node2d, area2d, and staticbody2d as the root of the draggable object, but the mouse_entered and exited signals dont work. When I add a texture rect as a child of these though, the misc tab in the debugger shows that I'm clicking the texutre rect, but still the mouse entered/exited signals do not fire for the parent nodes collision body.

If you want to detect clicking and such, it may be worth looking into using Controls for that purpose. _gui_input() is pretty good for detecting mouse actions specifically on a certain control node, so they've always been my default for click-detection

Control nodes can't be used to drag items around though right? Like when you pick up a card in Balatro and swing it around the screen. Wouldn't you need 2d nodes for that? Thats what I'm trying to achieve. I have a UI made from control nodes, but within that UI I want that free drag functionality on certain items. And all of this is within a subviewport projected onto a mesh3d

Why wouldn't you be able to drag around a Control node?
I don't believe there's anything about Control nodes that prohibits that functionality
They can be moved and rotated
