[astral gyro]

so you want to make something like a tool tip?

[maiden sapphire]

let me send you a screenshot, 1 sec

[astral gyro]

alright, I'm sure we can figure this out

[maiden sapphire]

When i dont hover over it:

When i hover over it

[compact ibex]

rect.Contains stays false probably due to "Input.mousePosition" having absolute screen values, and the rect coordinates are local values
So it's trying to check if (710, 320) is contained in (0, 0, 1, 1)

[astral gyro]

Oke so you want a side bar that when you hover your mouse over the side the 2 buttons show up

[maiden sapphire]

How would i use it then?

[maiden sapphire]

Yes

[astral gyro]

Let me quickly hop in unity and see if I can recreate the problem

[compact ibex]

Not sure if unity has tools to convert from screen to local position, but you can always write your own custom method to check boudaries

[astral gyro]

private void Update()
    {
        if (HoverRect.rect.Contains(Input.mousePosition))
        {
            if (open == false)
            {
                open = true;
                LeanTween.cancel(ButtonsPanel);
                LeanTween.moveLocal(ButtonsPanel.gameObject, ShowPos, TweenTime).setEaseInOutCubic();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (open == true)
            {
                open = false;
                LeanTween.cancel(ButtonsPanel);
                LeanTween.moveLocal(ButtonsPanel.gameObject, HidePos, TweenTime).setEaseInOutCubic();
            }
        }
    }

quickly post for reference

Better yet

Try this:
HoverRect.rect.Contains(Input.mousePosition - HoverRect.rect.transform.position)

[maiden sapphire]

I did see a couple posts online, including unity official website, using input.mouseposition with rect.contains. So I wonder why they use it there...

[maiden sapphire]

Aight, 1 sec

[compact ibex]

Not sure if you can do rect.position directly, but something like that

[maiden sapphire]

I did save HoverRect as the Rect Transform, so we dont need to acces it like that

[maiden sapphire]

YES! It works. It works PERFECLY now

Thanks you so much

[compact ibex]

Good (:

[astral gyro]

nice

[compact ibex]

Just to make sure, did you understand why it works?

[maiden sapphire]

Yea, i was just about to ask. Would you explain why you should - HoverRect.position with Input.mousePosition?

[compact ibex]

Sure

[maiden sapphire]

Yea, also thanks for your help aswell :)

[compact ibex]

As I said, the Input.mousePosition is getting the mouse position on the screen, and the contains method is trying to check for local coordinates

When you subtract the rectangle position from the mouse position, you're looking for the mouse position relative to the rect position

This is harder to explain than I expected :P

[maiden sapphire]

Oh, so then your looking at the mouse as in with the rectangle's local position?

[compact ibex]

Exactly

[maiden sapphire]

ahhh, i see. Thanks! I learned somthing new today :D

[compact ibex]

Glad to help (:
