Why would exported UI buttons only respond to clicks in the very center of the button

From issue UI Buttons don't respond to clicks always in export · Issue #86 · needle-tools/needle-engine-support · GitHub
Exported UI buttons only respond to clicks in the red circled region, I can send a simple repro again if needed. Seems to be affecting all UI exported in my first project with Needle

Will have a look at this now

Mh I guess you tried logging in your callback when the button is pressed? tried with my buttons here and they work fine.

can you make a scene with this button only and send me? :thinking:

I’ll make a very minimal scene for you 1 sec

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

I must stress that in my larger main project, the text DOES render while the animator is on and I can send that larger project, but the underlying issue of only the center of the button working for clicks is the real issue there.

this panel canvas text is blocking the raycast (its ontop of the button)

moving the button a bit forward fixes the problem

Yup, unticking raycast target on the text didn’t fix it but moving the button forward a bit did

Raycast target on texts is currently not implemented

13

Ah okay at least that’s known, will close the issue on git

Looking at that now, it’s something we changed last week due to text not appearing after enabling an object again if you remember :slightly_smiling_face:

15

Ok raycastTarget should work in the next version again

Great news!

This issue will keep me from upgrading, I hope the logs there are useful https://github.com/needle-tools/needle-engine-support/issues/94

I can report that I had the same issue nearly, and upgrading to the latest update, and also I went through the entire canvas, panels, button text etc. and I removed the raycasttarget option on everything except the button proper and now I get 100% reliable clicks

further info… updating to the latest didn’t work on it’s own, but i took a hint from you mentioning raycasttarget in the release notes to look into that and remove it from anything i didn’t want getting clicks
