Hello, I am having an issue with the editor.
Made it and seems to work but I can’t use mouse to change the values, my mouse seems to get ignored.
I made a gif for you to see. > https://i.imgur.com/Xel3wbj.gif

Ok, thank you.

So the issue is that your buttons have the Hittable property unchecked. Enable that option on your buttons.
