Update the docs to clarify that the `@icon` annotation does not work
when only attaching a script to a node, and clarify that the script itself
must be a globally accessible script type.
- Made use of [param] more frequently,
- Link to other classes' documentation more often, improve the examples.
- Made the writing style closer to how the rest of the documentation is formatted.
- Ensure these are called "functions", not "methods".
- Add [b]Warning:[/b] where more appropriate than [b]Note:[/b]
Most notably, removed " It must be a static string, so format strings can't be used.", as this behavior is actually a bug.
"less" should be used for quantity, rather than "lesser".
Existing scripts that use `or_lesser` in `_get_property_list()`
will need to be updated to account for this change.
Rewrites the definition of how the function works.
Reworks the style of the examples and adds a negative range example.
Changes the while loop to a range loop in the array backwards example.
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
Fixes#34541
Renamed MAX_DIGITS to MAX_DECIMALS, since it only changes the
amount of digits after the decimal point.
Increased MAX_DECIMALS to 32, and made String::num use
MAX_DECIMALS consistently. If -1 is passed as
decimal precision to String::num, it now gets changed to
the correct precision based on the number's magnitude,
instead of using printf default(which is 6)
String::num_real also calculates the correct precision now.
Also made the types used in floating-point math more
consistent in a few places.
The GDScript `load` mention is moved from the class `ResourceLoader`
description to the `ResourceLoader.load` method description instead,
where it is more likely to be found.
The input to smoothstep is not actually a weight, and the decscription
of smoothstep was pretty hard to understand and easy to misinterpret.
Clarified what it means to be approximately equal.
nearest_po2 does not do what the descriptions says it does. For one,
it returns the same power if the input is a power of 2. Second, it
returns 0 if the input is negative or 0, while the smallest possible
integral power of 2 actually is 1 (2^0 = 1). Due to the implementation
and how it is used in a lot of places, it does not seem wise to change
such a core function however, and I decided it is better to alter the
description of the built-in.
Added a few examples/clarifications/edge-cases.
We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
* Adds description for `ord()`
* Adds relationship description between `char()` and `ord()`
* Describes the argument of `char()` as Unicode code point instead of ASCII code
* Fixes wrong interval notation in `randi()` description
Added some missing documentation about yield() being able to wait for a function also. I cant believe something like that was missing from the docs, it would have saved me so much time (and others i assume).
This might be especially usefull since godot script doesn't support ** or ^ as operators, so beginners might search for the exponential function, when what they really need is the pow function.
This is exactly what happened to me and since I couldn't find helpfull information in the documentation I had to look it up online, where I found the answer on a helpfull [reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/3mvwz0/how_do_i_do_exponents_in_godot/).
@akien-mga told me how to reference methods here:
godotengine#30909
Also allow lifting the decimal step formatting with a hint range step
of 0. A new `range_step_decimals()` is added for this to avoid breaking
compatibility on the general purpose `step_decimals()` (which still
returns 0 for an input step of 0).
Supersedes #25470.
Partial fix for #18251.
"posmod" is the integer version of "fposmod". We do not need a "mod" because of the % operator.
I changed the default arg names from "x" and "y" to "a" and "b" because they are not coordinates. I also changed pow's arg names to "base" and "exp". Also, I reorganized the code in the VS built-in funcs switch statement.
- Document a few more properties and methods
- Add more information to many classes
- Fix lots of typos and gramar mistakes
- Use [code] tags for parameters consistently
- Use [b] and [i] tags consistently
- Put "Warning:" and "Note:" on their own line to be more visible,
and make them always bold
- Tweak formatting in code examples to be more readable
- Use double quotes consistently
- Add more links to third-party technologies
