Hello there, unhandled and handled input part seems didn't act as i expect.

So i have a node that had a rigid body (clickable).
i used _input_event on the kinematicBody2d, so i expect that if i use _unhandled_input in another object it shouldn’t be triggered if the action is on the Kinematicbody. Am i wrong ?

This is the code of the rigidbody2d component:

extends KinematicBody2D
signal clicked(node)

func _input_event(Obj, event, i):
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("Click"):
		emit_signal("clicked", self)
		pass

the code in the component that is “watching” the node is:

func _unhandled_input(event):
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("Click"):
		var pos = tilemap.world_to_map(get_global_mouse_position())
		print(pos)
		pass

I think you need to set the input as handled to stop it propagating to the next input handler, something like SceneTree.set_input_as_handled(). See Using InputEvent — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English

Different Nodes’ internal functions are called at different times.

func _unhandled_input(event):
    if Input.is_action_just_pressed("Click"):
        var pos = tilemap.world_to_map(get_global_mouse_position())
        print(pos)
        pass

May be being called before

func _input_event(Obj, event, I):
    if Input.is_action_just_pressed("Click"):
        emit_signal("clicked", self)
        pass

Hence why both functions think the “Click” action input is unhandled.
