You're really cool, I want to start developing games, so your channel helps me very much, thank you!

Thanks for being so inspiring! Personally I like tooltips to flip to the other direction if getting out of screen. To achieve this, replace the code in the Update function with the following snippet:

Vector2 localPoint = Input.mousePosition;

if(Screen.width - Input.mousePosition.x < {

localPoint -= new Vector2(backgroundRectTransform.rect.width, 0);
}

if(Screen.height - Input.mousePosition.y < {

localPoint -= new Vector2(0,
}

transform.position = localPoint;


Note that I use Screen Space - Overlay mode, so the RectTransformUtility stuff is irrelevant.

Thanks for these man. Coding through the Unity UI system is so much hell :D.

Any idea why the tooltip would flicker licke crazy when dealing with those out-of-screen-edge cases?
EDIT: nevermind, I found out: I used TextMeshPro instead of the standard thex, I didn't know that it had a hidden Raycast Target setting (it's under "Extra Setting"). When the tooltip slid under the cursor, the text interfered with the detection of the mouse on the object.

@Code Monkey  Yes a few.

Visual bugs - The game Sprites when in 3x or 2x speed end up getting stuck on places like Walls and inside Buildings. Ps : They stay stuck even upon game restart

Heavy Bugs - When you have more Buildings (10 or more) the game gets Really laggy and unstable, with contant crash upon autosave or manual save.

People Get stuck when buy Water and food after 10 min playing, the only way to fix is to close Building remove worker and restart the game.

The Inside of Arenas "Bland" bug, you can have all itens of decorarion and a lot of then people Will be happy "arena looks cool", upon loading a save game, the same arena gets bad review "arena looks bland

Is there a reason you're calling transform.GetComponent<...> instead of just GetComponent<...>?
