Hi!

I'm trying to use Hovered event to automatically track if mesh is hovered or not. Unfortunateyl I don't get events for that, but I do get events for Over and Out. Am I missing something?

#

Oh never mind, hovered is a marker component. I get it now.

Hovered isn't a marker component, but it is a flag component

Hovered in bevy::picking::hover - Rust

A component that allows users to use regular Bevy change detection to determine when the pointer enters or leaves an entity. Users should insert this component on an entity to indicate interest in knowing about hover state changes.

#

it existing on an entity doesn't indicate the the entity is hovered, just that it is interested in checking for when it's hovered
