Can anything block touchscreen buttons in Godot?

[Darkmisc]

TL;DR

I have a button that overlaps with a touchscreen button. When I press the button, it also presses the touchscreen button underneath. Can I stop this from happening?

Hi everyone

I have a button that overlaps with a touchscreen button. I want to be able to press the button without also pressing the touchscreen button. I can't use the .hide() function on the touchscreen button because I don't want to disable the whole touchscreen button.

Is there something I can use to block half of the touchscreen button (in the same way that you can block a button)?

If all else fails, I'm just going to make the button smaller or convert the touchscreen button to a regular button, but I'd rather not for aesthetic reasons. Thanks

I'm not familiar with Godot, but that seemed to be a z-index problem to me. But looking at Godot's documentation:

Note: Changing the Z index of a Control only affects the drawing order, not the order in which input events are handled. This can be useful to implement certain UI animations, e.g. a menu where hovered items are scaled and should overlap others.

This seems to indicate that it is the order in which you implement the input events that determines which button event is on top. Again, not an expert with Godot, but it seems to have something to do with InputMap.
