<method name="Color8">
<return type="Color" />
<param index="0" name="r8" type="int" />
<param index="1" name="g8" type="int" />
<param index="2" name="b8" type="int" />
<param index="3" name="a8" type="int" default="255" />
<description>
Returns a [Color] constructed from red ([param r8]), green ([param g8]), blue ([param b8]), and optionally alpha ([param a8]) integer channels, each divided by [code]255.0[/code] for their final value.
[codeblock]
var red = Color8(255, 0, 0) # Same as Color(1, 0, 0)
var dark_blue = Color8(0, 0, 51) # Same as Color(0, 0, 0.2).
var my_color = Color8(306, 255, 0, 102) # Same as Color(1.2, 1, 0, 0.4).

</description>
</method>
<method name="assert">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="condition" type="bool" />
<param index="1" name="message" type="String" default="""" />
<description>
Asserts that the [param condition] is [code]true[/code]. If the [param condition] is [code]false[/code], an error is generated. When running from the editor, the running project will also be paused until you resume it. This can be used as a stronger form of [method @GlobalScope.push_error] for reporting errors to project developers or add-on users.
An optional [param message] can be shown in addition to the generic "Assertion failed" message. You can use this to provide additional details about why the assertion failed.
[b]Warning:[/b] For performance reasons, the code inside [method assert] is only executed in debug builds or when running the project from the editor. Don't include code that has side effects in an [method assert] call. Otherwise, the project will behave differently when exported in release mode.
[codeblock]
# Imagine we always want speed to be between 0 and 20.
var speed = -10
assert(speed < 20) # True, the program will continue
assert(speed >= 0) # False, the program will stop
assert(speed >= 0 and speed < 20) # You can also combine the two conditional statements in one check
assert(speed < 20, "the speed limit is 20") # Show a message
[/codeblock]
</description>
</method>
<method name="char">
<return type="String" />
<param index="0" name="char" type="int" />
<description>
Returns a single character (as a [String]) of the given Unicode code point (which is compatible with ASCII code).
[codeblock]
a = char(65) # a is "A"
a = char(65 + 32) # a is "a"
a = char(8364) # a is "€"
[/codeblock]
</description>
</method>
<method name="convert">
<return type="Variant" />
<param index="0" name="what" type="Variant" />
<param index="1" name="type" type="int" />
<description>
Converts [param what] to [param type] in the best way possible. The [param type] uses the [enum Variant.Type] values.
[codeblock]
var a = [4, 2.5, 1.2]
print(a is Array) # Prints true
var b = convert(a, TYPE_PACKED_BYTE_ARRAY)
print(b) # Prints [4, 2, 1]
print(b is Array) # Prints false
[/codeblock]
</description>
</method>
<method name="dict_to_inst">
<return type="Object" />
<param index="0" name="dictionary" type="Dictionary" />
<description>
Converts a [param dictionary] (created with [method inst_to_dict]) back to an Object instance. Can be useful for deserializing.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_stack">
<return type="Array" />
<description>
Returns an array of dictionaries representing the current call stack. See also [method print_stack].
[codeblock]
func _ready():
foo()
func foo():
bar()
func bar():
print(get_stack())
[/codeblock]
Starting from [code]_ready()[/code], [code]bar()[/code] would print:
[codeblock]
[{function:bar, line:12, source:res://script.gd}, {function:foo, line:9, source:res://script.gd}, {function:_ready, line:6, source:res://script.gd}]
[/codeblock]
[b]Note:[/b] This function only works if the running instance is connected to a debugging server (i.e. an editor instance). [method get_stack] will not work in projects exported in release mode, or in projects exported in debug mode if not connected to a debugging server.
[b]Note:[/b] Calling this function from a [Thread] is not supported. Doing so will return an empty array.
</description>
</method>
<method name="inst_to_dict">
<return type="Dictionary" />
<param index="0" name="instance" type="Object" />
<description>
Returns the passed [param instance] converted to a Dictionary. Can be useful for serializing.
[b]Note:[/b] Cannot be used to serialize objects with built-in scripts attached or objects allocated within built-in scripts.
[codeblock]
var foo = "bar"
func _ready():
var d = inst_to_dict(self)
print(d.keys())
print(d.values())
[/codeblock]
Prints out:
[codeblock]
[@subpath, @path, foo]
[, res://test.gd, bar]
[/codeblock]
</description>
</method>
<method name="len">
<return type="int" />
<param index="0" name="var" type="Variant" />
<description>
Returns the length of the given Variant [param var]. The length can be the character count of a [String], the element count of any array type or the size of a [Dictionary]. For every other Variant type, a run-time error is generated and execution is stopped.
[codeblock]
a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
len(a) # Returns 4
b = "Hello!"
len(b) # Returns 6
[/codeblock]
</description>
</method>
<method name="load">
<return type="Resource" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<description>
Returns a [Resource] from the filesystem located at the absolute [param path]. Unless it's already referenced elsewhere (such as in another script or in the scene), the resource is loaded from disk on function call, which might cause a slight delay, especially when loading large scenes. To avoid unnecessary delays when loading something multiple times, either store the resource in a variable or use [method preload].
[b]Note:[/b] Resource paths can be obtained by right-clicking on a resource in the FileSystem dock and choosing "Copy Path" or by dragging the file from the FileSystem dock into the script.
[codeblock]
# Load a scene called "main" located in the root of the project directory and cache it in a variable.
var main = load("res://main.tscn") # main will contain a PackedScene resource.
[/codeblock]
[b]Important:[/b] The path must be absolute. A relative path will always return [code]null[/code].
This function is a simplified version of [method ResourceLoader.load], which can be used for more advanced scenarios.
[b]Note:[/b] Files have to be imported into the engine first to load them using this function. If you want to load [Image]s at run-time, you may use [method Image.load]. If you want to import audio files, you can use the snippet described in [member AudioStreamMP3.data].
</description>
</method>
<method name="preload">
<return type="Resource" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<description>
Returns a [Resource] from the filesystem located at [param path]. During run-time, the resource is loaded when the script is being parsed. This function effectively acts as a reference to that resource. Note that this function requires [param path] to be a constant [String]. If you want to load a resource from a dynamic/variable path, use [method load].
[b]Note:[/b] Resource paths can be obtained by right clicking on a resource in the Assets Panel and choosing "Copy Path" or by dragging the file from the FileSystem dock into the script.
[codeblock]
# Create instance of a scene.
var diamond = preload("res://diamond.tscn").instantiate()
[/codeblock]
</description>
</method>
<method name="print_debug" qualifiers="vararg">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Like [method @GlobalScope.print], but includes the current stack frame when running with the debugger turned on.
The output in the console may look like the following:
[codeblock]
Test print
At: res://test.gd:15:_process()
[/codeblock]
[b]Note:[/b] Calling this function from a [Thread] is not supported. Doing so will instead print the thread ID.
</description>
</method>
<method name="print_stack">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Prints a stack trace at the current code location. See also [method get_stack].
The output in the console may look like the following:
[codeblock]
Frame 0 - res://test.gd:16 in function '_process'
[/codeblock]
[b]Note:[/b] This function only works if the running instance is connected to a debugging server (i.e. an editor instance). [method print_stack] will not work in projects exported in release mode, or in projects exported in debug mode if not connected to a debugging server.
[b]Note:[/b] Calling this function from a [Thread] is not supported. Doing so will instead print the thread ID.
</description>
</method>
<method name="range" qualifiers="vararg">
<return type="Array" />
<description>
Returns an array with the given range. [method range] can be called in three ways:
[code]range(n: int)[/code]: Starts from 0, increases by steps of 1, and stops [i]before[/i] [code]n[/code]. The argument [code]n[/code] is [b]exclusive[/b].
[code]range(b: int, n: int)[/code]: Starts from [code]b[/code], increases by steps of 1, and stops [i]before[/i] [code]n[/code]. The arguments [code]b[/code] and [code]n[/code] are [b]inclusive[/b] and [b]exclusive[/b], respectively.
[code]range(b: int, n: int, s: int)[/code]: Starts from [code]b[/code], increases/decreases by steps of [code]s[/code], and stops [i]before[/i] [code]n[/code]. The arguments [code]b[/code] and [code]n[/code] are [b]inclusive[/b] and [b]exclusive[/b], respectively. The argument [code]s[/code] [b]can[/b] be negative, but not [code]0[/code]. If [code]s[/code] is [code]0[/code], an error message is printed.
[method range] converts all arguments to [int] before processing.
[b]Note:[/b] Returns an empty array if no value meets the value constraint (e.g. [code]range(2, 5, -1)[/code] or [code]range(5, 5, 1)[/code]).
Examples:
[codeblock]
print(range(4)) # Prints [0, 1, 2, 3]
print(range(2, 5)) # Prints [2, 3, 4]
print(range(0, 6, 2)) # Prints [0, 2, 4]
print(range(4, 1, -1)) # Prints [4, 3, 2]
[/codeblock]
To iterate over an [Array] backwards, use:
[codeblock]
var array = [3, 6, 9]
for i in range(array.size(), 0, -1):
print(array[i - 1])
[/codeblock]
Output:
[codeblock]
9
6
3
[/codeblock]
To iterate over [float], convert them in the loop.
[codeblock]
for i in range (3, 0, -1):
print(i / 10.0)
[/codeblock]
Output:
[codeblock]
0.3
0.2
0.1
[/codeblock]
</description>
</method>
<method name="str" qualifiers="vararg">
<return type="String" />
<description>
Converts one or more arguments to a [String] in the best way possible.
[codeblock]
var a = [10, 20, 30]
var b = str(a);
len(a) # Returns 3
len(b) # Returns 12
[/codeblock]
</description>
</method>
<method name="type_exists">
<return type="bool" />
<param index="0" name="type" type="StringName" />
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] if the given [Object]-derived class exists in [ClassDB]. Note that [Variant] data types are not registered in [ClassDB].
[codeblock]
type_exists("Sprite2D") # Returns true
type_exists("NonExistentClass") # Returns false
[/codeblock]
</description>
</method>
</methods>
<constants>
<constant name="PI" value="3.14159265358979">
Constant that represents how many times the diameter of a circle fits around its perimeter. This is equivalent to [code]TAU / 2[/code], or 180 degrees in rotations.
</constant>
<constant name="TAU" value="6.28318530717959">
The circle constant, the circumference of the unit circle in radians. This is equivalent to [code]PI * 2[/code], or 360 degrees in rotations.
</constant>
<constant name="INF" value="inf">
Positive floating-point infinity. This is the result of floating-point division when the divisor is [code]0.0[/code]. For negative infinity, use [code]-INF[/code]. Dividing by [code]-0.0[/code] will result in negative infinity if the numerator is positive, so dividing by [code]0.0[/code] is not the same as dividing by [code]-0.0[/code] (despite [code]0.0 == -0.0[/code] returning [code]true[/code]).
[b]Warning:[/b] Numeric infinity is only a concept with floating-point numbers, and has no equivalent for integers. Dividing an integer number by [code]0[/code] will not result in [constant INF] and will result in a run-time error instead.
</constant>
<constant name="NAN" value="nan">
"Not a Number", an invalid floating-point value. [constant NAN] has special properties, including that it is not equal to itself ([code]NAN == NAN[/code] returns [code]false[/code]). It is output by some invalid operations, such as dividing floating-point [code]0.0[/code] by [code]0.0[/code].
[b]Warning:[/b] "Not a Number" is only a concept with floating-point numbers, and has no equivalent for integers. Dividing an integer [code]0[/code] by [code]0[/code] will not result in [constant NAN] and will result in a run-time error instead.
</constant>
</constants>
<annotations>
<annotation name="@export">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Mark the following property as exported (editable in the Inspector dock and saved to disk). To control the type of the exported property use the type hint notation.
[codeblock]
@export var int_number = 5
@export var float_number: float = 5
[/codeblock]
</description>
</annotation>
<annotation name="@export_category">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="name" type="String" />
<description>
Define a new category for the following exported properties. This helps to organize properties in the Inspector dock.
See also [constant PROPERTY_USAGE_CATEGORY].
[codeblock]
@export_category("My Properties")
@export var number = 3
@export var string = ""
[/codeblock]
[b]Note:[/b] Categories in the property list are supposed to indicate different base types, so the use of this annotation is not encouraged. See [annotation @export_group] and [annotation @export_subgroup] instead.

<description>
Define a new group for the following exported properties. This helps to organize properties in the Inspector dock. Groups can be added with an optional [param prefix], which would make group to only consider properties that have this prefix. The grouping will break on the first property that doesn't have a prefix. The prefix is also removed from the property's name in the Inspector dock.
If no [param prefix] is provided, the every following property is added to the group. The group ends when then next group or category is defined. You can also force end a group by using this annotation with empty strings for parameters, [code]@export_group("", "")[/code].
Groups cannot be nested, use [annotation @export_subgroup] to add subgroups within groups.

<description>
Export an [int] or [float] property as a range value. The range must be defined by [param min] and [param max], as well as an optional [param step] and a variety of extra hints. The [param step] defaults to [code]1[/code] for integer properties. For floating-point numbers this value depends on your [code]EditorSettings.interface/inspector/default_float_step[/code] setting.
If hints [code]"or_greater"[/code] and [code]"or_less"[/code] are provided, the editor widget will not cap the value at range boundaries. The [code]"exp"[/code] hint will make the edited values on range to change exponentially. The [code]"hide_slider"[/code] hint will hide the slider element of the editor widget.
Hints also allow to indicate the units for the edited value. Using [code]"radians"[/code] you can specify that the actual value is in radians, but should be displayed in degrees in the Inspector dock. [code]"degrees"[/code] allows to add a degree sign as a unit suffix. Finally, a custom suffix can be provided using [code]"suffix:unit"[/code], where "unit" can be any string.
