Input pass through node

Question

Hey all,

I have a HUD which displays some data as text. I want users to be able to click on the map beneath the label. However, the label hogs all of the inputs, even though it does not process any of them. Is there a way that I can let the inputs pass by the label?

Answer 1

Probably not the best solution but will do if you don't find anything else

You can check with wether the mouse is hovering on the label with the signals mouseentered(), and mouseexited()

You can then if (click) and (hover), call the function from the map with input the mouse positions.

I've done some more digging and I've found that the other poster is, in general, correct, but for some reason it's not working for the specific thing I need--so I have to use your solution ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Answer 2

I think you can just set the Mouse | Filter mode of the Label to ignore. This should cause it to ignore mouse events, but still allow other controls to receive them.
