The global manager is auto-generated instantly.• Smart Screen Clamping & Flipping: Tooltips never clip off-screen. They automatically detect screen edges and flip to the opposite side or clamp to stay visible.• Fixed & Relative Positioning: Choose standard "Follow Mouse" or pin tooltips to 12 specific anchor points (e.g., Top-Center, Bottom-Right) relative to your target.• Continuous Cursor Tracking: Need the tooltip to follow the mouse dynamically? Enable continuous tracking with custom X/Y pixel offsets so the cursor never blocks your text.• Custom Editor Workflow: A clean, foldout-based custom Inspector makes configuring timing, overrides, and events a breeze for designers.• Visual Style Overrides: Customize backgrounds, outlines, and colors per-tooltip, or rely on your global defaults.• Event Hooks (UnityEvents): Trigger custom game logic easily with OnShow and OnHide events directly in the Inspector.• Multi-Canvas & World Space: Works seamlessly across Screen Space (Overlay/Camera) and World Space UIs. Perfect for VR or 3D diegetic UI.• Input System Ready: Native, error-free support for both the Legacy Input Manager and the New Input System.📦 WHAT'S INCLUDED• Clean, fully documented C# Source Code.• Pre-configured Tooltip Manager and customizable UI prefabs.• Comprehensive Demo Scene showcasing Inspector & API workflows.• Detailed offline documentation.Important:• Requires the official TextMeshPro package.• Designed for Mouse & Keyboard/Gamepad (Desktop & WebGL).
