Version 3.5.2 Topic GUI
Ever wondered why is your button not working after adding a fade effect for the whole screen? Well yes here is the problem. You are puttin a FADE ColorRect component over all other components at the end of the node tree. It will eat your clicks and keys so set the mouse filter to “ignore” and it will ignore all the clicks that fall through it into components that need the click like buttons.
So it was easy fix. But the hours of trying and crying for mercy are really bad when you just started… so remember it when you go into that godot cave for spellunking. Bring a lantern and think about what you did next time.
