Hi, i'm trying to set up scene objects on a world map that can be interacted after being highlighted with the mouse.
I have set up interaction control set to Selected objects, added selectable object component to my map points, and i can see the interaction hud appearing after i click one of the objects.
Is there a way to trigger object selection on mouse over instead of click?
Battle target selection has a Cursor Over Selection mode but i can't find anything similar for Object Selection.

You can use a Set Selected Object and Remove Selected Object nodes to change selected objects.
E.g. using Interaction Machines to change it on Mouse Enter and Mouse Leave.

Ok, I'm trying to set this up in a simple way with less machines involved.
Now i just activate interaction at cursor position, but i want to display some information about the interactive object so the player have feedback about what is going to be interacting with.

What's the way to display a scene object name at object position with a HUD?
I tried using Object type with cursor over but it doesn't display anything. Using Tooltip mode works but the hud is not placed at object position.

Also as a general suggestion, maybe add a cursor over option for the general object selection mode?

Update: I dug up an old thread of mine with a similar problem and reminded myself i had to add an Hud Object component to make it all work. Since this is really easy to forget, maybe add a remainder on the editor tooltip for the object hud type?

I'll look into that :)

Edit: Will be in the next update.
