How to set a fixed width for a label?

Camp

I'm trying to make a ui element with an icon for an item and the number of that item the player has next to it. The issue I'm running into is that as the number changes, the width of the label changes and the icon moves. How do I fix this?

Camp you have to put your controls inside a container, then you can make the label go left and the icon go right.
you could use a HBoxContainer for this, in layout set the label to expand so it takes up the whole space, and put the icon next to it.
set your HBoxContainer to the max width you want.

the problem could also be that the label doesn't have a minimum size. so just set a minimum size and change wrapping so it doesn't resize.

Camp make a Control node and put the label and icon into it, then you can save that as a scene with whatever functions it needs. Then attach it to whatever needs it. Then you can just adjust the UI scene itself without having to dig into every scene that uses it.

You may want to figure out the maximum width of your labels. Even with autowrap turned on, you may want to play with it to get it to play nice with any data it wants to display.

Jesusemora I set the custom minimum width and that was what I was looking for, thank you.
