Defold-input the mouse over and out at the same time

Questions

Hi,

I’m studying Defold and creating a card game like Hearthstone. I’m using the defold-input lib.
I want that when the cursor is over my card (a collection) the card zooms and increase the Y position. It partially works because theres an area within the card that the mouse is over and out at the same time. I think it is because the colision object, but I’m a newbie here and I did not figure out what is happening.

Can you help me?

Here is some of the debug output

You are probably right that since you’re moving the card on the mouse over it may result in a mouse out as well. Does it work if you mouse over the card from the side or top?

Yes, it works if I move the mouse from the top to the center, this situation occours when the mouse is in the bottom of the card

Ok, got it. A simple solution is to use a collection per card. Each card consists of a root game object with the collision object and then also a child game object with the sprite. When you detect mouse over you move the game object with the sprite only for the visual effect of lifting the card.
