How to use built-in signals inside an instanced scene ?

Hi !

I have a problem to understand how to use signals within instanced scenes.

Goal : display planets and make them disapear when clicking on it.

What I have done (code is in C#) : 1. create a scene Planet (StaticBody2D) 2. check the "Pickable" property 3. in the Ready() method, connect to the built-in "input_event" signal Connect("input_event", this, "_onInputEvent");

? When I test the scene by itself, it is working.

Then : 1. create a Game scene 2. create instances of the Planet using PackedScene [Export] private PackedScene PlanetScene; ... Planet _planetInstance = (Planet)PlanetScene.Instance(); GetNode("Planets").AddChild(_planetInstance);

? The planets are created, but when I click on it, the "input_event" is not called anymore.

I tried to change the Planet's type to KinematicBody2D or Area2D, with no result.

Thanks for your help !

As a first step, you can use the Debugger to verify that the click is being detected: Debugger >> Misc >> Clicked Control

Thanks so much Dave !

I was not aware of this option in the debugger. Thanks to it, I saw that the mouse click was blocked by a Control node (after setting the Mouse property to "Ignore", it is working).

Thanks again, and I wish you a fantastic day.
