[1.11] Detecting if a mouse hovers over a certain area in the GUI

[Kander16]

Hi,

 

I want to detect if a mouse hovers over a gui element and when it does, it will show some text.

How do I do this? I was looking into the Gui classes but I didn't find anything.

 

Thanks.

If you know the X coordinate, Y coordinate, width, and height of your GUI element, it's a simple matter of a couple less than/greater than checks. You need to check that:

 

• mouse X >= element X
  
• mouse Y >= element Y
  
• mouse X <= element X + element Width
  
• mouse Y <= element Y + element Height

Possibly an update method, perhaps a draw?
