References therefore do not need to be freed manually with [method Object.free]. In the vast majority of use cases, instantiating and using [Reference]-derived types is all you need to do. The methods provided in this class are only for advanced users, and can cause issues if misused. </description> <tutorials> + <link title="When and how to avoid using nodes for everything">https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/getting_started/workflow/best_practices/node_alternatives.html</link> </tutorials> <methods> <method name="init_ref"> |
