Horizontally Scrolling DynamicFont Using A Shader

NorthProse11

I'm trying to scroll a Label's text using a shader. Im using custom dynamic font. I've been trying the same technique I've learned for textures, so far without avail. My code :

shader_type canvas_item;

void fragment(){
    vec2 newuv = UV;
    newuv.x += TIME;
    vec4 c = texture(TEXTURE, newuv);
    COLOR = c;
}

I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I don't think it's safe to assume the the text in labels works the same as textures on nodes.

you could render your text into a viewport/render target texture and then load that onto a sprite or control node and do the shader magic, but it would come at a performance cost. Maybe someone who has used labels more extensively can offer better advice though since I most certainly would expect either the label or rich text label especially to offer some non shader based options for dressing up the text in your game/application.
