How to make TouchScreenButtons auutomatically resize responsively

Clone this GitHub Project
Open that project in Godot
Copy the ,,TouchButton.tscn" scene from that project into your destination project
Now you can use TouchScreenButtons in your game, without fearing that a minor change in Screen Size or Pixel Density will mess up the entire control layout

Update: This post is really old.

It's a really old solution which is absurdly complex compared to my new solution of using a Button node instead.

To make the Button behave like a ?Gamepad button, it should have this script with on_button_down and on_button_up signals for simulating the button press:

extends Button

func _on_button_down():
	Input.action_press("jump"); #Replace "jump" with your desired action


func _on_button_up():
	Input.action_release("jump"); #Replace "jump" with your desired action

Another Update:

I just discovered that my simpler solution does Not support multitouch. Now I know again why I made this old complicated solution in the first place: Because it actually supports multitouch.
