KinematicBody2D with gui nodes as children without canvas layer

philosopho

Hi! I have a hierarchy that looks like this:

I want this so that the object falls from the top to the floor and makes a sound, then the player can press buttons with the mouse on the object. The gridcontainer also contains hbox containers with toggle buttons in them. However, the buttons don't work. If I had canvas layer, it works, but then I can't have it fall from the top because it gets stuck in one place.

Is this possible to get working or do I need to use canvas layer? For some reason it was working before but all of a sudden now it doesn't.

check if the panel is blocking the mouse?

Check the Focus properties on the Node. You might want it on Ignore Mouse.

Thanks for the help, everyone! I tried Ignore Mouse on all the properties except the buttons but no luck. Gonna post more pictures: This is the result of the scene after running it, I enabled visible debug collision shapes (the shape is calculated dynamically in code) and the rest of the gui for the grid container as well:

Note that TextureRects can be very unpredictable. I'd try switching them to sprites instead, might well resolve the issues.

Ok I'll try that out, thanks!
