Godot Version
Godot 4.4.1.stable
Question
I’m working on updating my inventory system, and I’m implementing a details panel that appears when you click on any item in the inventory. The issue is that the way it’s working at the moment, when you hover over an item, any details panels that are visible at the moment hide, so you don’t have 2 open at once. I am currently doing this by detecting the mouse-entered signal when the player hovers, but this means that any items underneath the details panel are also detected, so as the player navigates the panel, it occasionally hides if the player moves the mouse over an item slot that is covered by the panel. I’ve tried to mitigate this by adding a boolean check, but I’ve since learned that it doesn’t fix the issue because, as soon as the mouse enters the item’s area, it technically isn’t in the details panel’s area as far as Godot is concerned, which means the boolean check fails and doesn’t actually make a difference. Is there a way I can fix this by making only the items that aren’t under the panel emit this signal?
