I have a widget that contains a background, some buttons, a few status bars etc. This widget is suppose to show the stats of a particular character. I have it set up so when you de-select the actor that owns the widget such as left clicking outside of it, it will hide the widget.
My issue is that the widget gets hidden when I click on anything ON the widget that is not a button. Can anyone give me any advice?
I made sure that everything in my widget is set to visible and can interact with mouse.
I tried using “Is hovered” which always ends up displaying as true anywhere on the screen. Because of that I tried setting the canvas panel of the widget to “desired” so it does not encompass the entire screen, only the widget.
I have tried doing the “event mouse enter” and “event mouse leave”, within the widget, but when I bool check it, it always comes out as true even if my mouse is not inside, or hovering over the widget it turns true anywhere on the screen.
I tried comparing the viewport location of the widget with my mouse’s current position and it still deselects it.
I tried setting the widget’s z authority to like 1000 and it still does it.
It appears to happen on almost all of my widgets, if there isn’t a button and I left click on a widget, my collapsing event happens when it should only happen when I manually de-select the actor or click in the world space around it.
I also notice I can give my character a right click move command through the widget. If you were to right click on a widget it shouldn’t tell the character to move to that location that is UNDER the widget.
See attached video and screenshots, please let me know what else I can provide to assist in solving this. I am pretty sure I have the game and UI widgets set up properly as well as I can interact with any widget, if it has a button…
