Scaling up a parent node makes a child node disappear (SOLVED)

Questions
#1
  • create a box node (dad)
  • create another box node (kid)
  • set dad as parent of kid
  • animate scale of dad above 1
  • kid disappears

can anyone say why this is? Can anyone think of a workaround? one of the big things i love about GUI nodes is dynamically changing sizes and scales so easily, so it’s a shame this seems not to work.

#2

Could you try to set z = 0 for the child node and check it again?

#3

yes!!! that’s sorted it. I guess scaling up anything other than 0 causes the z-position to go over 1. Isn’t it useful that the number 0 exists?

thanks AGulev!
