Explanation on Manual Navigation

[Janniqz]

I'm slowly getting the hang of how Nova works but have struggled with Manual Navigation between different Interactables.

I'm currently testing around with a very simple Scene that just has a "Yes" and "No" Button. Both of them are set up to use manual navigation, with any horizontal Input moving focus to the currently unfocused button.

This doesn't seem to work as I'd expect. While navigation to the left from the right button and to the right from the left button works, left to left and right to right don't.

I've also tried setting every direction to manual with no targets specified, which produced the same behavior. It seems like the auto movement is still active even though both buttons are completely set to manual. Fallbacks are disabled on both of them.

Am I maybe missing something?

Sorry you're hitting this issue!

It doesn't look like you're missing anything. This appears to be a bug on our end, likely caused by a change we added in v1.1.9.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We'll be sure to update this thread once we've submitted a fix to the Asset Store for review and again when it's officially published!

It appears the root cause of the bug is due to not having an active "navigation scope" - this is unfortunately causing us to skip the manual navigation code path. So, in the meantime, one possible workaround is to add an Interactable component to your UIBlock root, set its On Select option to Scope Navigation and enable Auto Select:

This will automatically push your UIBlock root onto the navigation scope stack whenever you set navigation focus on an interactable below it. You won't need it there once the bug is fixed, but it won't cause any issues either :)

The fix for this has just been published in v1.2.0!
