Scrollcontainer with text

0 votes

I have a scrollcontainer and a label but when adding text the scrollcontainer does not autoscroll to follow the text.
How do I get it to follow when there is too much text on my label?

I assume you're trying to scroll things vertically as items are added to the bottom of the contained label? If that's the case, you can get access to the vertical scrollbar and set it to its maximum value when ever you add text. Here's some sample code snippets...

# Get a reference to the vertical scrollbar
onready var scrollbar = $ScrollContainer.get_v_scrollbar()

#  when you add text to the label, just scroll to the bottom...
$ScrollContainer/Label.text += "xxxx"
$ScrollContainer.scroll_vertical = scrollbar.max_value
