+ <brief_description>
+ An object representing a method in a certain object that can be called.
+ </brief_description>
+ <description>
+ [Callable] is a first class object which can be held in variables and passed to functions. It represents a given method in an [Object], and is typically used for signal callbacks.
+ [b]Example:[/b]
+ [codeblock]
+ var callable = Callable(self, "print_args")
+ func print_args(arg1, arg2, arg3 = ""):
+ prints(arg1, arg2, arg3)
+ func test():
+ callable.call("hello", "world") # Prints "hello world".
+ callable.call(Vector2.UP, 42, callable) # Prints "(0, -1) 42 Node(Node.gd)::print_args".
+ callable.call("invalid") # Invalid call, should have at least 2 arguments.
