I’ve been struggling a bit with this. Is there a simple way to scale up the borders of a NinePatchRect without scaling the actual node?
I have a 16x16 rect, but the actual game is in high resolution. The resulting NinePatchRect has tiny borders.
I want to avoid scaling up the ninepatchrect itself since that makes anchoring annoying, and any child would be scaled up as well.
Yes. Editing the texture you use. 
From Godot itself? No.
Ran into the same problem and haven’t found anyone else with a better solution at the moment, so I decided to write something to solve this.
Add a Container and add this script to it:
@tool
class_name TileScaleContainer
extends Container
@export var tile_scale: float = 1:
set(value):
tile_scale = value
_resize_children()
# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready() -> void:
_resize_children()
func _notification(what: int) -> void:
match what:
NOTIFICATION_RESIZED:
_resize_children()
func _on_child_entered_tree(node: Node):
_resize_child(node)
func _resize_child(node: Node):
if "size" in node and "scale" in node:
node.size = size if tile_scale == 0 else Vector2(size.x / tile_scale, size.y / tile_scale)
node.scale = Vector2(1, 1) if tile_scale == 0 else Vector2(tile_scale, tile_scale)
func _resize_children():
for node in get_children():
_resize_child(node)
Now when you add children to this container (ie. NinePatchRect, or a Button using a StyleBoxTexture with texture margins) and change the “tile_scale”, the “tile_scale” will control the scale of the border.
Changing the size of the TileScaleContainer will maintain the same border size now as well.
