How to keep node in position when resizing window after animation?

RichNaoo

I made a GUI with buttons that slide in from the side. To do that I have the original position of the buttons outside of the viewport to make sure there is no one frame flicker between the instanciation of the scene and the starting of the animation where the buttons are visible inside the viewport.

But when resizing the screen the buttons go back to the original position outside of the viewport.

Is there a good way to do these type of animations and have them stay inside the viewport when done? Or should I simply change the position after the animation is done?

That's something that could be made much easier if pivot_offset from Controls were turned into regular offset variables (just like Sprites), that way you would be able to animate the offset without messing with the anchoring.

In my game, I have to make a parent Control for each anchoring in the HUD, and make the animated panels their children. With that, I can animate their local positions so resizing the window won't mess things up as they still follow their parent Control, which is there just for anchoring.

Yeah, right now I'm just changing the grow direction, margin and the rect_pos after the animation to fix it, but it's so cumbersome...
