Godot Version 4.6.3.stable Question Greetings. Today I have been learning how to create a virtual joystick for a game I’ve been making as I study and learn (I’m still new to developing but learning fast). I was watching this video as a tutorial on how to make a joystick for use and have gotten to …

I have made a “solution” of sorts using the knowledge gained from your information about the debugger and such: - I have moved the joystick itself out of the MAIN scene and built it into the HUD scene which it was in conflict with (which seems an appropriate place for it to be anyway since the HUD …

Use 4.7 and the built-in virtual joystick that comes with it. [image] Input: VirtualJoystick - Dev snapshot: Godot 4.7 dev 1 – Godot Engine The first development snapshot for 4.7 has arrived! With it, several quality PRs are free from the backlog at last, be it because they were locked …

In the bottom Debug panel the “Misc” tab can show you what object is being clicked on. This can help you deduce what is blocking inputs [image]

I appreciate you taking the time to reply, but as I mentioned in the post the goal I’m inquiring about isn’t to simply “have a functional joystick” as that can be done easily with various available addons (my project currently uses one of these addons as a temporary stand-in while I learn the skills…

Thank you. This is something I wasn’t aware of and it looks like it will be very helpful in solving the error. I will give this a go and update here based on how that turns out. Cheers :slight_smile: .

Fair enough. I didn’t have a lot of time to reply yesterday. I’ve used those addons before. I’ve made my own. Both are a NIGHTMARE to debug. Hence, my suggestion. If this is just for funsies, then enjoy the journey. @gertkeno ’s suggestion should help you out.

Ok, so using your suggestion I was able to determine a bit of what seems to be happening: - In the test scene, things work. In the main game scene, things do not. When clicking in the main game scene the debugger says I am clicking a MarginContainer. At first I thought this was the MarginContaine…

This isn’t quite for funsies lol. I need to learn the skill to make these things so that I can create custom ones with custom assets and such. Relying on the ones others make is great when you just need a quick feature implemented and have no requirements about what it looks like (like me tossing on…

In that case, I recommend you read this post: [image] Posting guidelines in #Help channel Help Search for the answer Before asking a question, check Godot Docs and use the Forum Search functionality to make sure your question hasn’t been answered or there isn’…

As far as I am aware, this specific issue hasn’t been posted elsewhere, though if I have overlooked something you are aware of, I am happy to receive a link from you and head over to the post I didn’t know about instead of asking here. It’s a big website so it is very possible I missed something. A…

For future reference, you provided no code, and no scene tree. If you want a concrete answer, then that’s what we need. Not a link to a tutorial we would have to follow to be able to help you. Which to be clear, was spelled out in the post I linked you to. Because I don’t want to have to explain tha…
