Description

The ObjectScale node does not output the correct values in the material editor.
This method works to tile images with a Surface Material Domain on a basic plane, but does not work when using it with the Deferred Decal Material Domain, and the decal stretches instead.

Reported in version 4.25.3 (CL-13942748); tested in version 4.25.3 and version 4.24.3 (CL-11590370)

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a new material
  2. Set it to Deffered Decal material domain
  3. Add an ObjectScale node
  4. Do 1/ObjectScale
  5. Put it through a ScaleUVsByCenter node
  6. Put that though a Texture UV input
  7. Output the texture to emissive
  8. Put the material on a decal
  9. Try to scale the decal (not by using decal size but by using object scale)

Result: The texture does not stay the same size as you scale the decal object.

Expected: The texture should stay the same size as you scale the decal object because the texture scale is inversely proportional to the object scale.
