Easy way to make a scaling UI menu in Godot 4.2
A quick tutorial that clarifies the difference between control nodes and the more specific container nodes. Containers are great, but you don't always need one!

    But what if buttons are inside VBox and the text is not scaling? Have thought about this one?

    This really isn't it. Both containers and control nodes have their place, and it is useless to write scripts to get the behavior of another thing when it is already built into the engine. Use Control nodes to determine where containers should be, and containers to determine how the layout of child nodes should flow. Don't half-ass it, it will only bite you in the rear later on.

    Id really love something like this that maintains a consistent aspect ratio, but i cant figure it out

      Remember, the UI elements are nodes so you can manipulate them with script.

    Thank you for the great tutorial. Do you maybe also know if it is possible to have the text of the button scale with the button?

    • @RangerX___

      Maybe, but I think it will require a custom implementation in script and some custom fonts!

    lovely tutorial, but that is not the most efficient way of doing it, as much i hate containers, they are a necessary evil to keep stuff organized.

      @@deltagamma1442 Think of a situation in which you needed to create UI elements dynamically. For instance, an inventory UI that contains any number of items in which each item would require its UI element. Using a container then would be useful for keeping everything organized during runtime for each item could be added in a vertical or horizontal container with a scroll element. Though, admitly there are other ways of solving that problem without containers, a container would typically be the quickest and simplest answer to that problem.
