I am trying to scale a label. The scene is set up so that there is a Node2D with 2 child nodes: Label, the label, and Tween, the tween.

func _ready():
    var labelRef = get_node("Label")
    $Tween.interpolate_property(labelRef, "scale", Vector2(1, 1), Vector2(10, 10), 3, Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN)
    $Tween.start()

The above code runs, but does not change the size of the label text.

The above scales the label’s text area. To scale the text, scale the font directly, e.g.

var main_label_font = get_node(“MainLabel”).get(“custom_fonts/font”)
var FinalSize = 800
$Tween.interpolate_property(main_label_font, “size”, FinalSize / 10, FinalSize, 3,
Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN)
#scaling text outline
FinalSize = 150
$Tween.interpolate_property(main_label_font, “outline_size”, FinalSize / 10, FinalSize, 3,
Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN)

replace scale with rect_scale
