Base class for all non built-in types. Base class for all non built-in types. Everything not a built-in type starts the inheritance chain from this class. Objects do not manage memory, if inheriting from one the object will most likely have to be deleted manually (call the [method free] function from the script or delete from C++). Some derivates add memory management, such as [Reference] (which keeps a reference count and deletes itself automatically when no longer referenced) and [Node], which deletes the children tree when deleted. 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. Objects also receive notifications ([method _notification]). Notifications are a simple way to notify the object about simple events, so they can all be handled together. Return a property, return null if the property does not exist. Return the property list, array of dictionaries, dictionaries must contain: name:String, type:int (see TYPE_* enum in [@Global Scope]) and optionally: hint:int (see PROPERTY_HINT_* in [@Global Scope]), hint_string:String, usage:int (see PROPERTY_USAGE_* in [@Global Scope]). Notification request, the notification id is received. Set a property. Return true if the property was found. Add a user signal (can be added anytime). Arguments are optional, but can be added as an array of dictionaries, each containing "name" and "type" (from [@Global Scope] TYPE_*). Return true if this object can translate strings. Connect a signal to a method at a target (member function). Binds are optional and are passed as extra arguments to the call. Flags specify optional deferred or one shot connections, see enum CONNECT_*. A signal can only be connected once to a method, and it will throw an error if already connected. If you want to avoid this, use [method is_connected] to check. Disconnect a signal from a method. Get a property from the object. Return the class of the object as a string. Returns an [Array] of dictionaries with informations about signals that are connected to this object. Inside each [Dictionary] there are 3 fields: - "source" is a reference to signal emitter. - "signal_name" is name of connected signal. - "method_name" is a name of method to which signal is connected. Return the instance ID. All objects have a unique instance ID. Return a metadata from the object. Return the list of metadata in the object. Return the list of properties as an array of dictionaries, dictionaries contain: name:String, type:int (see TYPE_* enum in [@Global Scope]) and optionally: hint:int (see PROPERTY_HINT_* in [@Global Scope]), hint_string:String, usage:int (see PROPERTY_USAGE_* in [@Global Scope]). Return the object script (or null if it doesn't have one). Return the list of signals as an array of dictionaries. Return true if a metadata is found with the requested name. Return true if signal emission blocking is enabled. Check the class of the object against a string (including inheritance). Return true if a connection exists for a given signal and target/method. Notify the object of something. Set property into the object. If set to true, signal emission is blocked. Define whether this object can translate strings (with calls to [method tr]). Default is true. Set a metadata into the object. Metadata is serialized. Metadata can be [i]anything[/i]. Set a script into the object, scripts extend the object functionality. Translate a message. Only works if message translation is enabled (which it is by default). See [method set_message_translation]. Called right when the object is initialized. Not available in script. Called before the object is about to be deleted. Connect a signal in deferred mode. This way, signal emissions are stored in a queue, then set on idle time. Persisting connections are saved when the object is serialized to file. One shot connections disconnect themselves after emission.
