ScrollContainer won't adapt when I generate instances. | Godot Café | Page 1

My structure is:
-ScrollContainer
-VBoxContainer
-Node2D
The Node2D is blank with the script that generates instances of cards one below another. Once these instances overflow the container, ScrollContainer doesn't adapt. It acts as there is just a blank node. How to fix that?
Thank you

what do you mean acts as there is just a blank node? got any screenshot?

#

perhaps the cards need to be directly below the VBoxContainer?

hero card just holds the script. The script will load instances and position them new below the previous one

Node2D breaks the chain of control nodes

#

ScrollContainer only reacts to control nodes

#

Node2D is not a control node

chilly sun Node2D is not a control node

So what can I do?

boreal robin so how does it look when you run it?

They just get clipped by the container edge, without the scroll bar or means to scroll it

#

I believe ScrollContainer thinks it's empty

#

probs try changing the type of your hero card from Node2D to Control or something

#

so itll be a control type node

i tried but it breaks it. I'll do a deep dive as to why that is.
