|
|
Base class for all non built-in types.
|
|
</brief_description>
|
|
<description>
|
|
Every class which is not a built-in type inherits from this class.
|
|
You can construct Objects from scripting languages, using [code]Object.new()[/code] in GDScript, [code]new Object[/code] in C#, or the "Construct Object" node in VisualScript.
|
|
Objects do not manage memory. If a class inherits from Object, you will have to delete instances of it manually. To do so, call the [method free] method from your script or delete the instance from C++.
|
|
Some classes that extend Object add memory management. This is the case of [Reference], which counts references and deletes itself automatically when no longer referenced. [Node], another fundamental type, deletes all its children when freed from memory.
|
|
Objects export properties, which are mainly useful for storage and editing, but not really so much in programming. Properties are exported in [method _get_property_list] and handled in [method _get] and [method _set]. However, scripting languages and C++ have simpler means to export them.
|
|
Property membership can be tested directly in GDScript using [code]in[/code]:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var n = Node2D.new()
|
|
print("position" in n) # Prints "True".
|
|
print("other_property" in n) # Prints "False".
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
The [code]in[/code] operator will evaluate to [code]true[/code] as long as the key exists, even if the value is [code]null[/code].
|
|
Objects also receive notifications. Notifications are a simple way to notify the object about different events, so they can all be handled together. See [method _notification].

Virtual method which can be overridden to customize the return value of [method get_property_list].
|
|
Returns the object's property list as an [Array] of dictionaries.
|
|
Each property's [Dictionary] must contain at least [code]name: String[/code] and [code]type: int[/code] (see [enum Variant.Type]) entries. Optionally, it can also include [code]hint: int[/code] (see [enum PropertyHint]), [code]hint_string: String[/code], and [code]usage: int[/code] (see [enum PropertyUsageFlags]).

Calls the [code]method[/code] on the object and returns the result. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
call("set", "position", Vector2(42.0, 0.0))
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] In C#, the method name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined methods where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

[b]FIXME:[/b] The syntax changed with the addition of [Callable], this should be updated.
|
|
Connects a [code]signal[/code] to a [code]method[/code] on a [code]target[/code] object. Pass optional [code]binds[/code] to the call as an [Array] of parameters. These parameters will be passed to the method after any parameter used in the call to [method emit_signal]. Use [code]flags[/code] to set deferred or one-shot connections. See [enum ConnectFlags] constants.
|
|
A [code]signal[/code] can only be connected once to a [code]method[/code]. It will throw an error if already connected, unless the signal was connected with [constant CONNECT_REFERENCE_COUNTED]. To avoid this, first, use [method is_connected] to check for existing connections.
|
|
If the [code]target[/code] is destroyed in the game's lifecycle, the connection will be lost.
|
|
Examples:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
connect("pressed", self, "_on_Button_pressed") # BaseButton signal
|
|
connect("text_entered", self, "_on_LineEdit_text_entered") # LineEdit signal
|
|
connect("hit", self, "_on_Player_hit", [ weapon_type, damage ]) # User-defined signal
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
An example of the relationship between [code]binds[/code] passed to [method connect] and parameters used when calling [method emit_signal]:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
connect("hit", self, "_on_Player_hit", [ weapon_type, damage ]) # weapon_type and damage are passed last
|
|
emit_signal("hit", "Dark lord", 5) # "Dark lord" and 5 are passed first
|
|
func _on_Player_hit(hit_by, level, weapon_type, damage):
|
|
print("Hit by %s (lvl %d) with weapon %s for %d damage" % [hit_by, level, weapon_type, damage])

Emits the given [code]signal[/code]. The signal must exist, so it should be a built-in signal of this class or one of its parent classes, or a user-defined signal. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:
|

[codeblock]

emit_signal("hit", weapon_type, damage)

emit_signal("game_over")

|
Assigns a new value to the given property, after the current frame's physics step. This is equivalent to calling [method set] via [method call_deferred], i.e. [code]call_deferred("set", property, value)[/code].
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] In C#, the property name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined properties where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

Assigns a new value to the property identified by the [NodePath]. The node path should be relative to the current object and can use the colon character ([code]:[/code]) to access nested properties. Example:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
set_indexed("position", Vector2(42, 0))
|
|
set_indexed("position:y", -10)
|
|
print(position) # (42, -10)
|
|
[/codeblock]

<description>
|
|
Assigns a script to the object. Each object can have a single script assigned to it, which are used to extend its functionality.
|
|
If the object already had a script, the previous script instance will be freed and its variables and state will be lost. The new script's [method _init] method will be called.

<description>
|
|
Returns a [String] representing the object. If not overridden, defaults to [code]"[ClassName:RID]"[/code].
|
|
Override the method [method _to_string] to customize the [String] representation.

|
|
Translates a message using translation catalogs configured in the Project Settings.
|
|
Only works if message translation is enabled (which it is by default), otherwise it returns the [code]message[/code] unchanged. See [method set_message_translation].

<constants>
|
|
<constant name="NOTIFICATION_POSTINITIALIZE" value="0">
|
|
Called right when the object is initialized. Not available in script.
|

</constant>
|
|
<constant name="NOTIFICATION_PREDELETE" value="1">
|
|
Called before the object is about to be deleted.
|

</constant>
|
|
<constant name="CONNECT_DEFERRED" value="1" enum="ConnectFlags">
|
|
Connects a signal in deferred mode. This way, signal emissions are stored in a queue, then set on idle time.
|
|
</constant>
|
|
<constant name="CONNECT_PERSIST" value="2" enum="ConnectFlags">
|
|
Persisting connections are saved when the object is serialized to file.
|
|
</constant>
|
|
<constant name="CONNECT_ONESHOT" value="4" enum="ConnectFlags">
|
|
One-shot connections disconnect themselves after emission.
|
|
</constant>
|
|
<constant name="CONNECT_REFERENCE_COUNTED" value="8" enum="ConnectFlags">
|
|
Connect a signal as reference counted. This means that a given signal can be connected several times to the same target, and will only be fully disconnected once no references are left.
