Parse JSON text to a Variant (use [method typeof] to check if it is what you expect).
|
|
Be aware that the JSON specification does not define integer or float types, but only a number type. Therefore, parsing a JSON text will convert all numerical values to [float] types.
|
|
Note that JSON objects do not preserve key order like Godot dictionaries, thus you should not rely on keys being in a certain order if a dictionary is constructed from JSON. In contrast, JSON arrays retain the order of their elements:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
p = parse_json('["a", "b", "c"]')

|
|
Returns a weak reference to an object.
|
|
A weak reference to an object is not enough to keep the object alive: when the only remaining references to a referent are weak references, garbage collection is free to destroy the referent and reuse its memory for something else. However, until the object is actually destroyed the weak reference may return the object even if there are no strong references to it.

Wraps float [code]value[/code] between [code]min[/code] and [code]max[/code].

[b]Note:[/b] If you just want to wrap between 0.0 and [code]n[/code] (where [code]n[/code] is a positive floating-point value), it is better for performance to use the [method fmod] method like [code]fmod(number, n)[/code].
|

[code]wrapf[/code] is more flexible than using the [method fmod] approach by giving the user a simple control over the minimum value. It also fully supports negative numbers, e.g.

[b]Note:[/b] If you just want to wrap between 0 and [code]n[/code] (where [code]n[/code] is a positive integer value), it is better for performance to use the modulo operator like [code]number % n[/code].

|
|
<description>
|
|
Stops the function execution and returns the current suspended state to the calling function.
|
|
From the caller, call [method GDScriptFunctionState.resume] on the state to resume execution. This invalidates the state. Within the resumed function, [code]yield()[/code] returns whatever was passed to the [code]resume()[/code] function call.
|
|
If passed an object and a signal, the execution is resumed when the object emits the given signal. In this case, [code]yield()[/code] returns the argument passed to [code]emit_signal()[/code] if the signal takes only one argument, or an array containing all the arguments passed to [code]emit_signal()[/code] if the signal takes multiple arguments.
|
|
You can also use [code]yield[/code] to wait for a function to finish:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
func _ready():
|
|
yield(countdown(), "completed") # waiting for the countdown() function to complete
|
|
print('Ready')
|
|
|
|
func countdown():
|
|
yield(get_tree(), "idle_frame") # returns a GDScriptFunctionState object to _ready()
|
|
print(3)
|
|
yield(get_tree().create_timer(1.0), "timeout")
|
|
print(2)
|
|
yield(get_tree().create_timer(1.0), "timeout")
|
|
print(1)
|
|
yield(get_tree().create_timer(1.0), "timeout")
|
|
|
|
# prints:
|
|
# 3
|
|
# 2
|
|
# 1
|
|
# Ready
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
When yielding on a function, the [code]completed[/code] signal will be emitted automatically when the function returns. It can, therefore, be used as the [code]signal[/code] parameter of the [code]yield[/code] method to resume.
|
|
In order to yield on a function, the resulting function should also return a [code]GDScriptFunctionState[/code]. Notice [code]yield(get_tree(), "idle_frame")[/code] from the above example.
