Hi,
I am trying to set a Theme property of a Grid Container through code, specifically, custom_constants > hseparation.
I know how to set the property index of a Grid Container (For example, $GridContainer.columns =3) through code.
But I don’t know to set the Theme Properties as given in the documentation:
Theme Properties
int vseparation [default: 4] The vertical separation of children nodes.
int hseparation [default: 4] The horizontal separation of children nodes.
I want to change the default from 4 to some other value, say 5.
In any case, h/vseparation are constants. You can access them from the GridContainer node with $GridContainer.get_constant("hseparation"). If you need to change the value, you’ll have to call $GridContainer.add_constant_override("hseparation",8).
I just had a similar problem. I have previously tried “add_constant_override()” and just in case Itried it just now.
I get “Invalid call. Nonexistent function ‘add_constant_override’ in base ‘GridContainer’.”
I got a solution in another thread - add_theme_constant_override(“h_separation”, value). Different method name and different property name.
