Question
Im having and issue with my gui signal not responding at all. So this is my gui_input function its the standard one, where i connected it via the engine.
Blockquote
func _on_gui_input(event: InputEvent) → void:
if event is InputEventMouseButton
and event.is_pressed()
and grabbed_slot_data:
match event.button_index:
MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT:
drop_slot_data.emit(grabbed_slot_data)
print("drop data")

This is the tree im working in, so i setup the signal from the InventoryInterface to the InventoryInterface. But when i run it, it doesnt even print my printline. So how do i check so the signal works and is running? I can see the green icon in the script but thats about it. (Im pretty new to godot)
gui_input only gets called when the mouse is inside the “invenoryinterface” and nothing is “above” the inventory. I think if your mouse is inside one of the child nodes it blocks the signal from emitting

Well the child nodes are in the corners just to make sure they dont get "clicked on " if i can refer it like that. So it doesnt matter where i click on the screen im getting no reaction at all. But is there a way that i can check if the function actually gets executed?
Well a print() in the beginning of the method would be the obvious test
Yeah did that before and nothing, so i guess the issue lies somewhere else then?
Try other signals of the node, like: “mouse_entered”, “mouse_exited”
I tried both entered and exited with prints in both and non of it works. Is it because its a controll node? I got no clue what could be the problem.
Whats the size of your control-node?
0x0 pixels, since its just a controll node with a script that controlls my PlayerInventory and ExternalInventory(a chest) and items that are grabbed. But shouldnt the exit and enter work on its children then or have i miss interpted it?
This is how it looks in the game
No i dont think this works on the children
Because right now, its my controll node script that sets and gets the data (item) from the items slots so when i grabb and item i actually got the data from the child. But now when i try to “drop” the data on the screen it doesnt work but when i drop it normaly i the inventory its no problem so its kinda weird
So you want to check if an item is dropped on the screen (outside the inventory)?
First i check if there is a mouse action inside the inventory if so i wanna check if a action is pressed and then if an item(in this case data) is grabbed and if all is true i wanna check if mouse_button_left is clicked and if it is just print() so i can see that it works. But right now i dont even get a print in the start of the function so its never getting called
you probably have to check that in the inventory-scene itself
This is how the scenes look and even if i move my mouse across the screen everywhere nothing ever gets registered.
Connect the signal from the InventoryScene and not the InventoryInterface-Scene
