Can't Click Button in scene with Multiple Buttons

Godot Version

Question

Can't click/interact with button in scene with multiple buttons. Is node tree setup with control node parents causing this or mouse filter settings?

So I have a level as a scene and made two other scenes that are button nodes that get carried by their own respective animation players to give a challenge to the player to make it hard for them to click them. One is Milk and the other Poison. When adding them to the scene I had trouble when testing, neither of the scenes were clickable, tinkering around, at one point I couldn’t click the “Reload” button or my “Back” button which is native to the level. I accidentally parented my Reload and Back buttons to the added Poison scene and I could click all of the buttons now except for the Milk scene. Unsure if I need to parent/order things differently in the scene.

Game Scene Node Tree where the two button nodes are Added :

Starts off with this :

After hitting close button :

Most likely a mouse filtering issue
Nodes below on the scene tree render over and take priority in input

I’d check the “Control” node under ur “Poison_QTE_UI” node
Set the mouse filter to “Pass” or “Ignore” on it and any children it might have that block ur buttons

btw nice artstyle lol

“Ignore” works perfectly, awesome.

And thank you! Glad to hear you like the art, so nervous about finally unveiling this thing for the game jam! :laughing:
