Repeating texture GUI node ($100 bounty)

[Pkeod]

This has been an often brought up feature request since 2015.

Tiling gui textures possible?

In other words, I think we need a new feature here! I’m thinking of something along the lines of letting a gui-node tile its texture (new option), which would create dynamic mesh geometry to counter for the texture coming from an arbitrary atlas. It also needs to account for a uv-offset which should be controllable like the other gui-properties (possible to animate them etc). Is that sort of what you are looking for?

Repeated/tiled GUI bitmap

Is repeating bitmaps in a GUI possible? [repeated%20bitmap] Just writing to confirm, really. I found these old threads asking for something similar, but there doesn’t seem to be a good solution. Feature request: Repeated texture for sprites:

What I imagine for the user is they create a Repeating Node and set a texture on it. They can set some settings on it such as the zoom of the texture. Then the node has controls on it in the editor to adjust its size and the editor/engine figures out what’s necessary. At runtime should be able to change the zoom/offset/size of a Repeating Node and it magically just works.

I will increase the bounty on this over time until it’s a deal too good to refuse until someone contributes it to the editor+engine.

If anyone is interested in this feature as a user of Defold please mention any mechanics you would want for it.
