<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <class name="Callable" version="4.0"> <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.
