Is there a way to tell if a mouse exits a button's collision while holding down left click?

0 votes

I know about .ishovered() and the ability to refer to "mouseexited" as a function, but if you hold down left click while exiting the box it will not change until you release the button. Are there any ways I can tell if the collision of a button has been left while left click is held? Ideally without adding extra children to the button but if that is the only way then I can accept it.

Compare the mouse position to the rect of that button

extends Button

func is_over():
    return get_rect().has_point(get_local_mouse_position())

Ideally called in the _input() function anytime the mouse is moved
