Is there a way to check if a button is being hovered over? Because has_focus() and hover are not the same.

Thanks in advance!

If you want to check this every frame or just query the state:

button.is_hovered()

If you want to get notified when the button is hovered, you can use the signals mouse_enter and mouse_exit.

That did the trick. Thanks :slight_smile:

It is much better to access the signals.

Put the signal in the func _ready()

$MarginContainer/Menu/btn_NAME.connect("mouse_entered", self, "FUNCTION_NAME")

^ this will connect a signal to an action

$MarginContainer/Menu/btn_NAME is the path to button in the scene.
