Multiple controls in EditorProperty...

while-free-

Inside _parse_property method of EditorInspectorPlugin class I'm using add_property_editor to add an instance of my EditorProperty to the inspector. However when I try to adding multiple controls (say buttons or whatever), they are all drawn on top of each other.

I couldn't find any hints in Godot docs EditorProperty page on how to "position" multiple controls. What am I missing?

well... bump... following the tutorial in Godot docs :
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/plugins/editor/inspector_plugins.html

I wonder how I can make the EditorProperty class have 2 buttons:

var property_control = Button.new() var property_control2 = Button.new()

I suppose adding them as children should show both of them in the inspector. But they are drawn over each other (overlapping each other). How am I supposed to have multiple controls in the same EditorProperty? How can I position them?

func _init(): #Add the control as a direct child of EditorProperty node. add_child(property_control) add_child(property_control2) #Make sure the control is able to retain the focus. add_focusable(property_control) add_focusable(property_control2)

Not at my machine so I can't test, but can't you add an hbox?

award Thank you for the reply. As a Unity user migrating to Godot, I was kinda in Unity mindset. I asked the same question here:

And now I see I'm supposed to create a Control scene managing the appearance of the property.

Somewhere in the docs is an explanation on previewing your control in the 2d viewport using the editor theme. I'll link it later if you haven't found it. Not that you need it. It could just be helpful.

award It would be awesome. I just used a VBox and it seems to be solved. But now I have a new issue:

It goes out... Not sure how I can make it expand if the control gets big.

I searched a lot but didn't find a tutorial explaining things. They are all just very basic, or use old Godot versions, and things have changed dramatically.

Oops, it looks like I misremembered seeing it in the docs. It was just this video.

I can't actually find a doc yet. Need to figure it out for myself. The PR which enabled it is here.

So I can't quite determine what your issue is. Putting it together with code, it looks good in my editor if I just do something this:

	property_control = Button.new()
	property_control2 = Button.new()
	property_control3 = Button.new()
	vbox.add_child(property_control)
	vbox.add_child(property_control2)
	vbox.add_child(property_control3)
	add_child(vbox)

I get this:

(this is based on the docs random_int tutorial)

Even better if I add set_bottom_editor(vbox) to the end of it:

I'm curious what about your scene differs from this procedural setup. Can you show it?

award I changed a lot of things and in the end I ended up saving a control scene, preloading it in the EditorProperty and now it's working.

I'll share the result with you when I test it in a fresh code.
