I made a grid of buttons (also tried with texturebuttons and texturerects) and I’m trying to detect the buttons the player swipe/mouse over, like tracing lines between icons. I’ve tried combining the on_button_down and on_mouse_over signals, but I can’t really make it work like that. Any suggestions?
Here’s the script I’ve attached to the grid. The buttons have no script of their own, they just emit signals to the grid script.
extends GridContainer
var isClicked = false
func _on_mouse_entered():
if(isClicked):
print("click-hovered")
else:
print("hovered")
func _on_button_down():
isClicked = true
print("clicked")
func _on_button_up():
isClicked = false
print("unclicked")
You need to know which button is activated. I myself would attach a script to your ‘special’ buttons which generate their own signals so your GridContainer gets it 
You can also attach your buttons through code in GridContainer passing the button itself
onready var button1:Button = $Button1
func _ready():
button1.connect('mouse_entered', self, '_on_mouse_entered', [button1])
func _on_mouse_entered(b:Button):
pass

Knowing which button was activated will be important in the logic, sure, but it doesn’t help me with the current problem of undetected hover while holding mouse button down.
I’ve made the alterations you recommended but to no avail.
extends GridContainer
# declarar texturas possíveis para tiles
var clickedTile
var isClicked = false
var isDragging = false
func _ready():
for _i in self.get_children():
_i.connect("gui_input", _i.get_parent(), "_on_gui_input", [_i])
_i.connect("mouse_entered", _i.get_parent(), "_on_mouse_entered", [_i])
func _on_mouse_entered(tile):
print(tile.name + " was hovered over")
if(isClicked):
print("click-hovered")
func _on_gui_input(event, tile):
if event is InputEventMouseButton and event.pressed:
clickedTile = tile
isClicked = true
print(tile.name+" was clicked!")
else :
if event is InputEventMouseButton and !event.pressed:
isClicked = false
print("mouse was let go!")
