how to reduce draw calls of my GridContainer's Item (64 items use 128 draw calls)

0 votes

I make ItemSlot scene with panel and texture on it

>panel
|->texture

then when I instance 64 of it to GridContainer it cost 128 draw calls
why is it not batching?

batching work fine when I turn off visible on texture left only panel visible

>panel
|->texture x

this cost only 1 draw calls

why it uses so many draw calls and how I make batching work with texture on it

figure it out,
to make batching work you must separate its drawlayer.

currently, I make Node2D on top of texture and set its z_index to 4000

>panel
|->node2D
  |->texture

still not a good solution but at least it works.
