3./ these days it seems that people are more on discord as well : https://discord.gg/aur7JMk
i see you are using
enableChildBoundsUpdatebut this was implemented only in 9.0
and at least on the version hostedat www.silverhawk.co.uk it's still using 8.0
given an melonjs UI example but does not work when integrated into a game as the mouse events don't work when using "main_player", game.player_entity, but if I make "main_player", me.Entity then mouse events work, but no player displayed.....stupid melonjs UI example if going to give an UI example make sure it works across multiple layers and mouse events work even when its not on the root layer...as I have a complex UI which needs these mouse events to work.
i see, sorry for the stupid example i guess, but feel free to propose any changes if you found a limitation in the example, the code is open source, so anyone can contribute
Have been trying to find a way to get the mouse events to work for buttons, when I set the button to this.is_floating = true then the mouse events work, but buttons are not attached to the sprite panel so when sprite panel is moved by player the buttons don’t move, so need to find a way to get the button events to work, but using your UI example code the does not work with multiple layers in a complex arragment, so need to understand why, but have tried, the way that I am using this code allows for greater flexability on UI design, and have removed the line from the code referenced by melonjs 9.0, but your UI example is very simple, not a complex multiple layer UI just 2 layers 0 and 1, were the game has 7+ layers for different game effects on the platform level, so that when I load a new world their would be almost no changes to the code just a change to the graphics and the various enemy spawn points which woild be set from tiled map designer and were locked doors are with keys to open defined doors, so flexability on code reuse that why keeping things a generic as possible to allow flexabiltiy on game design
Have been racking my brain as to why the buttons events don’t work when attached to a panel as a child of that panel so when game panel is moved by player the buutons are moved as well, but while in in this mode the buttons events don’t work, but if I change to buttons to this.is_floating = true the button events work as well as click events have no idea why, could you see why from the game at www.silverhawk.co.uk older code, have not updated the code on my domain, when I get it working then will update code, but as of yet have no idea why its not working, have gone through various example’s and have found no comparison code to find a clue
also, have you tried setting
isKinematic to false all all UI objects you defined that are not extending GUI Object ? again without it it won't work
I have made game.generic_floating_button_interface within the constructer isKinematic = false, but button events still don't work
no its fine the whole code will show how it interacts with the various layers and the first level
and fixed it !
i need to clean my code, as i added a lots of things here and there to debug it, but i'll do it later, i just spent the whole day on it, I need a break !
the issue is related to the quadtree and how it sees non-floating items within floating container, not sure it is a regression or a long standing bug, but however the bug fix heavily rely on the new bounds implementation from the 10.x branch, so you will have to definitely upgrade
give me one more day to clean the whole thing, including your code, and i'll send it back to you
and the issue was the spatial grid returning the wrong set of object.. !
my god
ahahah
that was a fun one to track down
sorry about the bug, but thank you for reporting it !
the other reason i did not see it before, is that in my platformer example, the UI Container has the size of the viewport, and located at the 0,0 coordinates
yours was offset in the below of the screen
and god knows why it was only affecting the y coordinates
yes you can !
but you should go full swing first on finishing converting everything to melonJS 2 :)

i'll send it back to you tomorrow, is that ok ? i really need a break now :)
Thats fine you have done me a big service with this fix, as I was trying to find a way to get the UI to work
there are no UI examples of clipping text to a textbox area have code to display a textbox with vertical scroll bars, but can't find any example of how to limit the text display to this area only

discord is really more busy/popular these days :)
did the name space not import?
```import * as me from "melonjs/dist/melonjs.module"
me.device```
it's only available where you actually imported it
havent tried to do import * as me from "melonjs/dist/melonjs.module" from the console though
