The custom [Viewport] node assigned to the [CanvasLayer]. If [code]null[/code], uses the default viewport instead.
- Sets the layer to follow the viewport in order to simulate a pseudo 3D effect.
+ If enabled, the [CanvasLayer] will use the viewport's transform, so it will move when camera moves instead of being anchored in a fixed position on the screen.
+ Together with [member follow_viewport_scale] it can be used for a pseudo 3D effect.
Scales the layer when using [member follow_viewport_enable]. Layers moving into the foreground should have increasing scales, while layers moving into the background should have decreasing scales.
