Hello, I have Area2Ds in my scene that get highlighted when I hover over them, and a HUD that covers the screen. When I show the HUD I disable the highlights, and when I hide the HUD I want them to appear again, but MouseEntered doesn't get fired on the areas this case. I have to move my mouse outside of the area and back in for the highlight to appear again.

I dunno how to find which area my mouse is on top of so I can highlight it when I hide the HUD. They're not rectangles, so I can't just use a simple Rect2.HasPoint().

This describes the same problem:

(I haven't tried the first answer, it sounds a bit hacky and I would rather get this to work...)

public override void _PhysicsProcess(double delta)
{
	PhysicsPointQueryParameters2D _params = new PhysicsPointQueryParameters2D() {
		Position = GetGlobalMousePosition(),
		CollideWithAreas = true,
		CollideWithBodies = true
	};
	var hits = GetWorld2D().DirectSpaceState.IntersectPoint(_params, 5);
	GD.Print(hits);
}

I'm not sure where it's supposed to go, I tried adding it both to the Area2Ds and to the root node, either way I get an empty array.

    housatic Areas emit input_event signals that cover wider variety of mouse events beside just entered/exited so you may be able to solve this by listening to that signal.

    Btw what type of colliders are you using for the areas?

        xyz Good idea, I'll take a look at the other signals. I'm using CollisionPolygon2D.

            housatic According to docs, IntersectPoint wont work with CollisionPolygon2D or ConcavePolygonShape2D shapes. Try replacing them with some other shapes.

                xyz Ah, once again I didn't read note. It says "in Segments build mode" though, mine are all Solids?

                I'm creating the hitboxes/polygons dynamically from sprites, so I do kinda need the CollisionPolygon2D unless there's an alternative.

                    housatic Still, test the whole thing with simple box colliders to check if shapes are the cause of the problem.
