Hello guys,
Am currently working on cloning the node. Using Collection factory am creating 25 different instances of nodes now when the user clicks on the particular node how I can handle that click event after I need to change that node to animation so please we have any chance to identify which node is clicked cloned node. (my plan is to use dynamic node and text otherwise i need to create 25 nodes with 25 text)

Thank you

local cloneTextField = gui.get_node(“TextField”)
cloneId = gui.clone(cloneTextField)
local new_textnode = gui.new_text_node(new_position, text)

You need to store the cloned nodes in a list and then iterate this list in on_input to check if a node has been pressed. Example:

function init(self)
	self.nodes = {}
	local original = gui.get_node("node_to_clone")
	local clone = gui.clone(original)
	table.insert(self.nodes, clone)
end


function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	-- make sure to change "click" to the action in your input bindings
	if action_id == hash("click") and action.pressed then
		for _,node in ipairs(self.nodes) do
			if gui.pick_node(node, action.x, action.y) then
				print("clicked on node", node)
				break
			end
		end
	end
end
