Resolution and resizing

[gentle gust]

Hellooooo i'm working on making a game for the first time and it's a lot of fun but I have been stuck on a problem for a few hours now. I'm making my pause menu and Settings screen atm. And I have been kind of stuck on the whole resolution since yesterday. First it didn't work, then it messed with my buttons and well it's been fun but I would like to see the end soon

So I work in C# for the code and it's a messy buggy code but we work we learn

But I finally got the problem solved with resizing the window, but now the game doesn't follow along. So that's my problem, I want to resize the game to different resolutions, the window works but not the game.

I looked it up and in many places it told me to change my Project settings to Viewport and aspect Keep, and scale mode is Integer
I have tired playing around with it, setting my primary rez to 1920x1080 and so on. I have been looking through the code, I asked chatgpt to help me with the code as well, it came with a lot of ideas such as using the Player Camera2D and set it to Current in the Inspector, but I couldn't find it so I gave up and now i'm here

Idk if any of this makes any sense for you smart people but hope you can help me 🦉

Hi, i cant help much, since im new too, and UI is also my biggest issue hehe.

Make a CanvasLayer node, and inside that put your UI stuff, menus, etc.

Then make a Camera2D node, that'll determine which part of the 2D world will be on screen.

Node2D
- CanvasLayer
    - Menu
    - Health Counter
- Camera2D
- Player
- Grass

As for that I already have it inside a CanvasLayer

Ignore the TIleMap that's the first thing I made before I knew that you couuld add more scenes

What is the problem exactly then? The menu isn't centering or

[gentle gust]

No the menu is centering but when I resize the game while playing it, the game itself doesn't

Let me record it

As you can see only the window really changes, but the game doesn't stay in the center even if I have the CanvasLayer

Right I see. In the project settings, there's the resize options that you've tried, what are they set to right now?

[grave cosmos]

Reset the integer property, that's probably causing issues

omfg I swear I have done that before............
