screen layout question (viewports ?)

siska

If I wanted to make a screen layout similar to this, with the left area being the 3d game world, and the right area the 2d inventory etc ... What would be the best way to do it?

I tried using 2 viewports, but mouse_over/_exit doesn't seem to register in the 3d viewport (2d is fine). I'm wondering if I missed something in the settings, or if I was maybe going about it the wrong way ?

I also tried without viewports, with the inventory a bunch of controls on top of the 3d world, but then of course, the player can move behind the inventory (which is not what I want) ...

I haven't tried this, but I think 2 viewports is what you want. For 3D interaction you probably want to use raycasts. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/tutorials/physics/ray-casting.html

Mmm ... I think it might be a bug. If I use a simple scene with a meshinstance + staticbody or area node, the mouse over/exit work as expected. As soon as I instance that scene under a viewportcontainer/viewport, they stop working ...

Thanks for the help though !
