As announced in https://godotengine.org/article/godot-4-will-discontinue-visual-scripting,
Godot maintainers have agreed to discontinue the current implementation of
our VisualScript language.
The way it had been designed was not user-friendly enough and we did not
succeed in improving its usability to actually make it a good low-code
solution for users who need one.
So we prefer to remove it for Godot 4.0 and leave the door open for new,
innovative ideas around visual scripting, to be developed as plugins or
extensions now that Godot provides sufficient functionality for this
(notably via GDExtension and the godot-cpp C++ bindings).
The current module has been moved to a dedicated repository (with full Git
history extracted with `git filter-branch`):
https://github.com/godotengine/godot-visual-script
It can still be compiled as a C++ module (for now, but will likely require
work to be kept in sync with the engine repository), but our hope is that
contributors will port it to GDExtension (which is quite compatibile with
the existing C++ module code when using the godot-cpp C++ bindings).
The inspector now supports converting degrees to radians automatically when
using the `radians` hint, so all those utility bindings were redundant.
This cleans things up by making these properties with slash properly bound
to `set_param`/`get_param` which the users can call with the relevant enum.
This is a legacy of Godot 2 days before the inspector had support for groups.
"Properties" with a slash in their name can't be accessed from script unless
using `set()`/`get()` so they were not actual properties as far as script
languages are concerned.
Part of #17558.
Create and expose the method `get_collider_rid` in `RayCast2D` and `Raycast3D`.
This method returns the `RID` of the first object that the ray intersects, or an empty `RID` if no object is intersecting the fay (i.e. `is_colliding` returns `false`).
We're targeting .NET 5 for now to make development easier while
.NET 6 is not yet released.
TEMPORARY REGRESSIONS
---------------------
Assembly unloading is not implemented yet. As such, many Godot
resources are leaked at exit. This will be re-implemented later
together with assembly hot-reloading.
_has_property_default_value is a required virtual
for ScriptExtension but it was not bound, and could
therefore not be implemented
this made it impossible to implement a ScriptExtension
that runs
