Is there a way to get the Vector2 position of the next available ‘slot’ in a container?
I’m moving a control node between 2 containers, but tweening its rect_position first.
I want to tween it into the second container, so I’d like to know that postion ahead of time.
Is that possible?
Alternatively if I could just make the node’s rect_position transition whenever it moves (like CSS transitions), I wouldn’t need to run the tween beforehand to create this illusion?
Interesting videos, they may come in handy later.
In the end what I did was:
Use an empty Control node as a ‘front runner’ and put that in the destination first.
Then use the front runner’s position as the the tween destination.
It’s not ideal because I have to keep re-organising my tree, but it works.
Another thing I needed to do was yield(get_tree().create_timer(0.001), "timeout") before starting the tween, because the front runner’s positon wasn’t updated in time.
