Hi, i want to have a box node where only the border is colored while the inside is transparent. Is there a way to do this? I tried gui.set_outline() but all I get are fully filled white boxes with no visible border. Here’s what I’ve tried:
local node = gui.new_box_node(vmath.vector3(100,100,0), vmath.vector3(100,100,0))
gui.set_outline(node, vmath.vector4(1,0,0,1))You could use a little graphic like the one below as a texture, and add slice 9 parameters. You could then set the box to any size you need.
Benjames approach is 100% the way to do it.
You could do it without an image if you used a stencil, but there is a lot of downsides (worse performance, clunky to work with, etc) to doing it that way and zero upsides.
Looks like the gui.set_outline() api has been removed but is still not reflected in the documentation.
gui.set_outline() works only for text nodes. Box nodes do not have this property.
Really? I’ve checked the Defold sourcecode and didn’t see this api 
Ah, sr, there is it. Thanks to know it only works for text nodes
