class CSGMesh

Invert the faces of the mesh.

Calculate tangents for the CSG shape which allows the use of normal maps. This is only applied on the root shape, this setting is ignored on any child.

The physics layers this area is in.

Collidable objects can exist in any of 32 different layers. These layers work like a tagging system, and are not visual. A collidable can use these layers to select with which objects it can collide, using the collision_mask property.

A contact is detected if object A is in any of the layers that object B scans, or object B is in any layer scanned by object A. See [https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.4/tutorials/physics/physics_introduction.html#collision-layers-and-masks](Collision layers and masks) in the documentation for more information.

The physics layers this CSG shape scans for collisions. See [https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.4/tutorials/physics/physics_introduction.html#collision-layers-and-masks](Collision layers and masks) in the documentation for more information.

The operation that is performed on this shape. This is ignored for the first CSG child node as the operation is between this node and the previous child of this nodes parent.

Snap makes the mesh snap to a given distance so that the faces of two meshes can be perfectly aligned. A lower value results in greater precision but may be harder to adjust.

Adds a collision shape to the physics engine for our CSG shape. This will always act like a static body. Note that the collision shape is still active even if the CSG shape itself is hidden.

The selected shadow casting flag. See godot.GeometryInstance_ShadowCastingSetting for possible values.

The extra distance added to the GeometryInstance's bounding box (godot.AABB) to increase its cull box.

When disabled, the mesh will be taken into account when computing indirect lighting, but the resulting lightmap will not be saved. Useful for emissive only materials or shadow casters.

Scale factor for the generated baked lightmap. Useful for adding detail to certain mesh instances.

The GeometryInstance's max LOD distance.

Note: This property currently has no effect.

The GeometryInstance's max LOD margin.

Note: This property currently has no effect.

The GeometryInstance's min LOD distance.

Note: This property currently has no effect.

The GeometryInstance's min LOD margin.

Note: This property currently has no effect.

The material override for the whole geometry.

If a material is assigned to this property, it will be used instead of any material set in any material slot of the mesh.

If true, this GeometryInstance will be used when baking lights using a godot.GIProbe or godot.BakedLightmap.

The render layer(s) this godot.VisualInstance is drawn on.

This object will only be visible for godot.Cameras whose cull mask includes the render object this godot.VisualInstance is set to.

When set to 0, godot.CullInstances will be autoplaced in the godot.Room with the highest priority.

When set to a value other than 0, the system will attempt to autoplace in a godot.Room with the autoplace_priority, if it is present.

This can be used to control autoplacement of building exteriors in an outer godot.RoomGroup.

When a manual bound has not been explicitly specified for a godot.Room, the convex hull bound will be estimated from the geometry of the objects within the room. This setting determines whether the geometry of an object is included in this estimate of the room bound.

Note: This setting is only relevant when the object is set to PORTAL_MODE_STATIC or PORTAL_MODE_DYNAMIC, and for godot.Portals.

When using godot.Rooms and godot.Portals, this specifies how the godot.CullInstance is processed in the system.

The godot.SpatialGizmo for this node. Used for example in Godot.EditorSpatialGizmo as custom visualization and editing handles in Editor.

World space (global) godot.Transform of this node.

gameplay_entered signal.

gameplay_exited signal.

visibility_changed signal.

Rotation part of the local transformation in radians, specified in terms of YXZ-Euler angles in the format (X angle, Y angle, Z angle).

Note: In the mathematical sense, rotation is a matrix and not a vector. The three Euler angles, which are the three independent parameters of the Euler-angle parametrization of the rotation matrix, are stored in a godot.Vector3 data structure not because the rotation is a vector, but only because godot.Vector3 exists as a convenient data-structure to store 3 floating-point numbers. Therefore, applying affine operations on the rotation "vector" is not meaningful.

Rotation part of the local transformation in degrees, specified in terms of YXZ-Euler angles in the format (X angle, Y angle, Z angle).

Scale part of the local transformation.

Local space godot.Transform of this node, with respect to the parent node.

Local translation of this node.

If true, this node is drawn. The node is only visible if all of its antecedents are visible as well (in other words, godot.Spatial.isVisibleInTree must return true).

The override to the default godot.MultiplayerAPI. Set to null to use the default godot.SceneTree one.

If a scene is instantiated from a file, its topmost node contains the absolute file path from which it was loaded in godot.Node.filename (e.g. res://levels/1.tscn). Otherwise, godot.Node.filename is set to an empty string.

The godot.MultiplayerAPI instance associated with this node. Either the godot.Node.customMultiplayer, or the default SceneTree one (if inside tree).

The name of the node. This name is unique among the siblings (other child nodes from the same parent). When set to an existing name, the node will be automatically renamed.

Note: Auto-generated names might include the @ character, which is reserved for unique names when using godot.Node.addChild. When setting the name manually, any @ will be removed.

ready signal.

renamed signal.

tree_entered signal.

tree_exited signal.

tree_exiting signal.

The node owner. A node can have any other node as owner (as long as it is a valid parent, grandparent, etc. ascending in the tree). When saving a node (using godot.PackedScene), all the nodes it owns will be saved with it. This allows for the creation of complex godot.SceneTrees, with instancing and subinstancing.

Note: If you want a child to be persisted to a godot.PackedScene, you must set godot.Node.owner in addition to calling godot.Node.addChild. This is typically relevant for [https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.4/tutorials/misc/running_code_in_the_editor.html](tool scripts) and [https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.4/tutorials/plugins/editor/index.html](editor plugins). If godot.Node.addChild is called without setting godot.Node.owner, the newly added godot.Node will not be visible in the scene tree, though it will be visible in the 2D/3D view.

Pause mode. How the node will behave if the godot.SceneTree is paused.

The node's priority in the execution order of the enabled processing callbacks (i.e. godot.Node.notificationProcess, godot.Node.notificationPhysicsProcess and their internal counterparts). Nodes whose process priority value is lower will have their processing callbacks executed first.

Gets a new godot.DynamicGodotObject associated with this instance.

The pointer to the native instance of this godot.Object.

script_changed signal.

Returns an individual bit on the collision mask.

Returns an individual bit on the collision mask.

Returns an godot.Collections_Array with two elements, the first is the godot.Transform of this node and the second is the root godot.Mesh of this node. Only works when this node is the root shape.

Returns true if this is a root shape and is thus the object that is rendered.

Sets individual bits on the layer mask. Use this if you only need to change one layer's value.

Sets individual bits on the collision mask. Use this if you only need to change one layer's value.

Returns the godot.GeometryInstance_Flags that have been set for this object.

Overrides the bounding box of this node with a custom one. To remove it, set an godot.AABB with all fields set to zero.

Sets the godot.GeometryInstance_Flags specified. See godot.GeometryInstance_Flags for options.

Returns the godot.AABB (also known as the bounding box) for this godot.VisualInstance. See also godot.VisualInstance.getTransformedAabb.

Returns the RID of the resource associated with this godot.VisualInstance. For example, if the Node is a godot.MeshInstance, this will return the RID of the associated godot.Mesh.

Returns the RID of this instance. This RID is the same as the RID returned by godot.VisualServer.instanceCreate. This RID is needed if you want to call godot.VisualServer functions directly on this godot.VisualInstance.

Returns true when the specified layer is enabled in godot.VisualInstance.layers and false otherwise.

Returns the transformed godot.AABB (also known as the bounding box) for this godot.VisualInstance.

Transformed in this case means the godot.AABB plus the position, rotation, and scale of the godot.Spatial's godot.Transform. See also godot.VisualInstance.getAabb.

Sets the resource that is instantiated by this godot.VisualInstance, which changes how the engine handles the godot.VisualInstance under the hood. Equivalent to godot.VisualServer.instanceSetBase.

Enables a particular layer in godot.VisualInstance.layers.

Forces the transform to update. Transform changes in physics are not instant for performance reasons. Transforms are accumulated and then set. Use this if you need an up-to-date transform when doing physics operations.

Returns the parent godot.Spatial, or an empty godot.Object if no parent exists or parent is not of type godot.Spatial.

Returns the current godot.World resource this godot.Spatial node is registered to.

Rotates the global (world) transformation around axis, a unit godot.Vector3, by specified angle in radians. The rotation axis is in global coordinate system.

Scales the global (world) transformation by the given godot.Vector3 scale factors.

Moves the global (world) transformation by godot.Vector3 offset. The offset is in global coordinate system.

Disables rendering of this node. Changes godot.Spatial.visible to false.

Returns whether node notifies about its local transformation changes. godot.Spatial will not propagate this by default.

Returns whether this node uses a scale of (1, 1, 1) or its local transformation scale.

Returns whether this node is set as Toplevel, that is whether it ignores its parent nodes transformations.

Returns whether the node notifies about its global and local transformation changes. godot.Spatial will not propagate this by default.

Returns true if the node is present in the godot.SceneTree, its godot.Spatial.visible property is true and all its antecedents are also visible. If any antecedent is hidden, this node will not be visible in the scene tree.

Rotates the node so that the local forward axis (-Z) points toward the target position.

The local up axis (+Y) points as close to the up vector as possible while staying perpendicular to the local forward axis. The resulting transform is orthogonal, and the scale is preserved. Non-uniform scaling may not work correctly.

The target position cannot be the same as the node's position, the up vector cannot be zero, and the direction from the node's position to the target vector cannot be parallel to the up vector.

Operations take place in global space.

Moves the node to the specified position, and then rotates itself to point toward the target as per godot.Spatial.lookAt. Operations take place in global space.

Resets this node's transformations (like scale, skew and taper) preserving its rotation and translation by performing Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization on this node's godot.Transform.

Rotates the local transformation around axis, a unit godot.Vector3, by specified angle in radians.

Rotates the local transformation around axis, a unit godot.Vector3, by specified angle in radians. The rotation axis is in object-local coordinate system.

Rotates the local transformation around the X axis by angle in radians.

Rotates the local transformation around the Y axis by angle in radians.

Rotates the local transformation around the Z axis by angle in radians.

Scales the local transformation by given 3D scale factors in object-local coordinate system.

Makes the node ignore its parents transformations. Node transformations are only in global space.

Sets whether the node uses a scale of (1, 1, 1) or its local transformation scale. Changes to the local transformation scale are preserved.

Reset all transformations for this node (sets its godot.Transform to the identity matrix).

Sets whether the node ignores notification that its transformation (global or local) changed.

Sets whether the node notifies about its local transformation changes. godot.Spatial will not propagate this by default.

Sets whether the node notifies about its global and local transformation changes. godot.Spatial will not propagate this by default, unless it is in the editor context and it has a valid gizmo.

Enables rendering of this node. Changes godot.Spatial.visible to true.

Transforms local_point from this node's local space to world space.

Transforms global_point from world space to this node's local space.

Changes the node's position by the given offset godot.Vector3.

Note that the translation offset is affected by the node's scale, so if scaled by e.g. (10, 1, 1), a translation by an offset of (2, 0, 0) would actually add 20 (2 * 10) to the X coordinate.

Changes the node's position by the given offset godot.Vector3 in local space.

Updates the godot.SpatialGizmo of this node.

Called when the node enters the godot.SceneTree (e.g. upon instancing, scene changing, or after calling godot.Node.addChild in a script). If the node has children, its godot.Node._EnterTree callback will be called first, and then that of the children.

Corresponds to the godot.Node.notificationEnterTree notification in godot.Object._Notification.

Called when the node is about to leave the godot.SceneTree (e.g. upon freeing, scene changing, or after calling godot.Node.removeChild in a script). If the node has children, its godot.Node._ExitTree callback will be called last, after all its children have left the tree.

Corresponds to the godot.Node.notificationExitTree notification in godot.Object._Notification and signal tree_exiting. To get notified when the node has already left the active tree, connect to the tree_exited.

The string returned from this method is displayed as a warning in the Scene Dock if the script that overrides it is a tool script.

Returning an empty string produces no warning.

Call godot.Node.updateConfigurationWarning when the warning needs to be updated for this node.

Called when there is an input event. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.

It is only called if input processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with godot.Node.setProcessInput.

To consume the input event and stop it propagating further to other nodes, godot.SceneTree.setInputAsHandled can be called.

For gameplay input, godot.Node._UnhandledInput and godot.Node._UnhandledKeyInput are usually a better fit as they allow the GUI to intercept the events first.

Note: This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).

Called during the physics processing step of the main loop. Physics processing means that the frame rate is synced to the physics, i.e. the delta variable should be constant. delta is in seconds.

It is only called if physics processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with godot.Node.setPhysicsProcess.

Corresponds to the godot.Node.notificationPhysicsProcess notification in godot.Object._Notification.

Note: This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).

Called during the processing step of the main loop. Processing happens at every frame and as fast as possible, so the delta time since the previous frame is not constant. delta is in seconds.

It is only called if processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with godot.Node.setProcess.

Corresponds to the godot.Node.notificationProcess notification in godot.Object._Notification.

Note: This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).

Called when the node is "ready", i.e. when both the node and its children have entered the scene tree. If the node has children, their godot.Node._Ready callbacks get triggered first, and the parent node will receive the ready notification afterwards.

Corresponds to the godot.Node.notificationReady notification in godot.Object._Notification. See also the onready keyword for variables.

Usually used for initialization. For even earlier initialization, may be used. See also godot.Node._EnterTree.

Note: godot.Node._Ready may be called only once for each node. After removing a node from the scene tree and adding again, _ready will not be called for the second time. This can be bypassed with requesting another call with godot.Node.requestReady, which may be called anywhere before adding the node again.

Called when an godot.InputEvent hasn't been consumed by godot.Node._Input or any GUI. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.

It is only called if unhandled input processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with godot.Node.setProcessUnhandledInput.

To consume the input event and stop it propagating further to other nodes, godot.SceneTree.setInputAsHandled can be called.

For gameplay input, this and godot.Node._UnhandledKeyInput are usually a better fit than godot.Node._Input as they allow the GUI to intercept the events first.

Note: This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).

Called when an godot.InputEventKey hasn't been consumed by godot.Node._Input or any GUI. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.

It is only called if unhandled key input processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with godot.Node.setProcessUnhandledKeyInput.

To consume the input event and stop it propagating further to other nodes, godot.SceneTree.setInputAsHandled can be called.

For gameplay input, this and godot.Node._UnhandledInput are usually a better fit than godot.Node._Input as they allow the GUI to intercept the events first.

Note: This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).

Adds a child node. Nodes can have any number of children, but every child must have a unique name. Child nodes are automatically deleted when the parent node is deleted, so an entire scene can be removed by deleting its topmost node.

If legible_unique_name is true, the child node will have a human-readable name based on the name of the node being instanced instead of its type.

Note: If the child node already has a parent, the function will fail. Use godot.Node.removeChild first to remove the node from its current parent. For example:

if child_node.get_parent():
child_node.get_parent().remove_child(child_node)
add_child(child_node)

Note: If you want a child to be persisted to a godot.PackedScene, you must set godot.Node.owner in addition to calling godot.Node.addChild. This is typically relevant for [https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.4/tutorials/misc/running_code_in_the_editor.html](tool scripts) and [https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.4/tutorials/plugins/editor/index.html](editor plugins). If godot.Node.addChild is called without setting godot.Node.owner, the newly added godot.Node will not be visible in the scene tree, though it will be visible in the 2D/3D view.

Adds child_node as a child. The child is placed below the given node in the list of children.

If legible_unique_name is true, the child node will have a human-readable name based on the name of the node being instanced instead of its type.

Adds the node to a group. Groups are helpers to name and organize a subset of nodes, for example "enemies" or "collectables". A node can be in any number of groups. Nodes can be assigned a group at any time, but will not be added until they are inside the scene tree (see godot.Node.isInsideTree). See notes in the description, and the group methods in godot.SceneTree.

The persistent option is used when packing node to godot.PackedScene and saving to file. Non-persistent groups aren't stored.

Note: For performance reasons, the order of node groups is not guaranteed. The order of node groups should not be relied upon as it can vary across project runs.

Returns true if the node can process while the scene tree is paused (see godot.Node.pauseMode). Always returns true if the scene tree is not paused, and false if the node is not in the tree.

Duplicates the node, returning a new node.

You can fine-tune the behavior using the flags (see godot.Node_DuplicateFlags).

Note: It will not work properly if the node contains a script with constructor arguments (i.e. needs to supply arguments to method). In that case, the node will be duplicated without a script.

Finds a descendant of this node whose name matches mask as in String.match (i.e. case-sensitive, but "*" matches zero or more characters and "?" matches any single character except "."). Returns null if no matching godot.Node is found.

Note: It does not match against the full path, just against individual node names.

If owned is true, this method only finds nodes whose owner is this node. This is especially important for scenes instantiated through a script, because those scenes don't have an owner.

Note: As this method walks through all the descendants of the node, it is the slowest way to get a reference to another node. Whenever possible, consider using godot.Node.getNode instead. To avoid using godot.Node.findNode too often, consider caching the node reference into a variable.

Finds the first parent of the current node whose name matches mask as in String.match (i.e. case-sensitive, but "*" matches zero or more characters and "?" matches any single character except ".").

Note: It does not match against the full path, just against individual node names.

Note: As this method walks upwards in the scene tree, it can be slow in large, deeply nested scene trees. Whenever possible, consider using godot.Node.getNode instead. To avoid using godot.Node.findParent too often, consider caching the node reference into a variable.

Returns a child node by its index (see godot.Node.getChildCount). This method is often used for iterating all children of a node.

To access a child node via its name, use godot.Node.getNode.

Returns the number of child nodes.

Returns an array of references to node's children.

Returns an array listing the groups that the node is a member of.

Note: For performance reasons, the order of node groups is not guaranteed. The order of node groups should not be relied upon as it can vary across project runs.

Note: The engine uses some group names internally (all starting with an underscore). To avoid conflicts with internal groups, do not add custom groups whose name starts with an underscore. To exclude internal groups while looping over godot.Node.getGroups, use the following snippet:

# Stores the node's non-internal groups only (as an array of Strings).
var non_internal_groups = []
for group in get_groups():
if not group.begins_with("_"):
non_internal_groups.push_back(group)

Returns the node's index, i.e. its position among the siblings of its parent.

Returns the peer ID of the network master for this node. See godot.Node.setNetworkMaster.

Fetches a node. The godot.NodePath can be either a relative path (from the current node) or an absolute path (in the scene tree) to a node. If the path does not exist, a null instance is returned and an error is logged. Attempts to access methods on the return value will result in an "Attempt to call <method> on a null instance." error.

Note: Fetching absolute paths only works when the node is inside the scene tree (see godot.Node.isInsideTree).

Example: Assume your current node is Character and the following tree:

/root
/root/Character
/root/Character/Sword
/root/Character/Backpack/Dagger
/root/MyGame
/root/Swamp/Alligator
/root/Swamp/Mosquito
/root/Swamp/Goblin

Possible paths are:

get_node("Sword")
get_node("Backpack/Dagger")
get_node("../Swamp/Alligator")
get_node("/root/MyGame")

Fetches a node and one of its resources as specified by the godot.NodePath's subname (e.g. Area2D/CollisionShape2D:shape). If several nested resources are specified in the godot.NodePath, the last one will be fetched.

The return value is an array of size 3: the first index points to the godot.Node (or null if not found), the second index points to the godot.Resource (or null if not found), and the third index is the remaining godot.NodePath, if any.

For example, assuming that Area2D/CollisionShape2D is a valid node and that its shape property has been assigned a godot.RectangleShape2D resource, one could have this kind of output:

print(get_node_and_resource("Area2D/CollisionShape2D")) # [[CollisionShape2D:1161], Null, ]
print(get_node_and_resource("Area2D/CollisionShape2D:shape")) # [[CollisionShape2D:1161], [RectangleShape2D:1156], ]
print(get_node_and_resource("Area2D/CollisionShape2D:shape:extents")) # [[CollisionShape2D:1161], [RectangleShape2D:1156], :extents]

Similar to godot.Node.getNode, but does not log an error if path does not point to a valid godot.Node.

Returns the parent node of the current node, or a null instance if the node lacks a parent.

Returns the absolute path of the current node. This only works if the current node is inside the scene tree (see godot.Node.isInsideTree).

Returns the relative godot.NodePath from this node to the specified node. Both nodes must be in the same scene or the function will fail.

Returns the time elapsed (in seconds) since the last physics-bound frame (see godot.Node._PhysicsProcess). This is always a constant value in physics processing unless the frames per second is changed via godot.Engine.iterationsPerSecond.

Returns the node's order in the scene tree branch. For example, if called on the first child node the position is 0.

Returns the time elapsed (in seconds) since the last process callback. This value may vary from frame to frame.

Returns true if this is an instance load placeholder. See godot.InstancePlaceholder.

Returns the godot.SceneTree that contains this node.

Returns the node's godot.Viewport.

Returns true if the node that the godot.NodePath points to exists.

Returns true if the godot.NodePath points to a valid node and its subname points to a valid resource, e.g. Area2D/CollisionShape2D:shape. Properties with a non-godot.Resource type (e.g. nodes or primitive math types) are not considered resources.

Returns true if the given node is a direct or indirect child of the current node.

Returns true if the node is folded (collapsed) in the Scene dock.

Returns true if the given node occurs later in the scene hierarchy than the current node.

Returns true if this node is in the specified group. See notes in the description, and the group methods in godot.SceneTree.

Returns true if this node is currently inside a godot.SceneTree.

Returns true if the local system is the master of this node.

Returns true if physics processing is enabled (see godot.Node.setPhysicsProcess).

Returns true if internal physics processing is enabled (see godot.Node.setPhysicsProcessInternal).

Returns true if processing is enabled (see godot.Node.setProcess).

Returns true if the node is processing input (see godot.Node.setProcessInput).

Returns true if internal processing is enabled (see godot.Node.setProcessInternal).

Returns true if the node is processing unhandled input (see godot.Node.setProcessUnhandledInput).

Returns true if the node is processing unhandled key input (see godot.Node.setProcessUnhandledKeyInput).

Moves a child node to a different position (order) among the other children. Since calls, signals, etc are performed by tree order, changing the order of children nodes may be useful.

Prints all stray nodes (nodes outside the godot.SceneTree). Used for debugging. Works only in debug builds.

Prints the tree to stdout. Used mainly for debugging purposes. This version displays the path relative to the current node, and is good for copy/pasting into the godot.Node.getNode function.

Example output:

TheGame
TheGame/Menu
TheGame/Menu/Label
TheGame/Menu/Camera2D
TheGame/SplashScreen
TheGame/SplashScreen/Camera2D

Similar to godot.Node.printTree, this prints the tree to stdout. This version displays a more graphical representation similar to what is displayed in the scene inspector. It is useful for inspecting larger trees.

Example output:

┖╴TheGame
┠╴Menu
┃  ┠╴Label
┃  ┖╴Camera2D
┖╴SplashScreen
┖╴Camera2D

Calls the given method (if present) with the arguments given in args on this node and recursively on all its children. If the parent_first argument is true, the method will be called on the current node first, then on all its children. If parent_first is false, the children will be called first.

Parameters:

Notifies the current node and all its children recursively by calling godot.Object.notification on all of them.

Queues a node for deletion at the end of the current frame. When deleted, all of its child nodes will be deleted as well. This method ensures it's safe to delete the node, contrary to godot.Object.free. Use godot.Object.isQueuedForDeletion to check whether a node will be deleted at the end of the frame.

Important: If you have a variable pointing to a node, it will not be assigned to null once the node is freed. Instead, it will point to a previously freed instance and you should validate it with @GDScript.is_instance_valid before attempting to call its methods or access its properties.

Moves this node to the bottom of parent node's children hierarchy. This is often useful in GUIs (godot.Control nodes), because their order of drawing depends on their order in the tree. The top Node is drawn first, then any siblings below the top Node in the hierarchy are successively drawn on top of it. After using raise, a Control will be drawn on top of its siblings.

Removes a node and sets all its children as children of the parent node (if it exists). All event subscriptions that pass by the removed node will be unsubscribed.

Removes a child node. The node is NOT deleted and must be deleted manually.

Note: This function may set the godot.Node.owner of the removed Node (or its descendants) to be null, if that godot.Node.owner is no longer a parent or ancestor.

Removes a node from a group. See notes in the description, and the group methods in godot.SceneTree.

Replaces a node in a scene by the given one. Subscriptions that pass through this node will be lost.

Note that the replaced node is not automatically freed, so you either need to keep it in a variable for later use or free it using godot.Object.free.

Requests that _ready be called again. Note that the method won't be called immediately, but is scheduled for when the node is added to the scene tree again (see godot.Node._Ready). _ready is called only for the node which requested it, which means that you need to request ready for each child if you want them to call _ready too (in which case, _ready will be called in the same order as it would normally).

Sends a remote procedure call request for the given method to peers on the network (and locally), optionally sending all additional arguments as arguments to the method called by the RPC. The call request will only be received by nodes with the same godot.NodePath, including the exact same node name. Behaviour depends on the RPC configuration for the given method, see godot.Node.rpcConfig. Methods are not exposed to RPCs by default. See also godot.Node.rset and godot.Node.rsetConfig for properties. Returns null.

Note: You can only safely use RPCs on clients after you received the connected_to_server signal from the godot.SceneTree. You also need to keep track of the connection state, either by the godot.SceneTree signals like server_disconnected or by checking SceneTree.network_peer.get_connection_status() == CONNECTION_CONNECTED.

Changes the RPC mode for the given method to the given mode. See godot.MultiplayerAPI_RPCMode. An alternative is annotating methods and properties with the corresponding keywords (remote, master, puppet, remotesync, mastersync, puppetsync). By default, methods are not exposed to networking (and RPCs). See also godot.Node.rset and godot.Node.rsetConfig for properties.

Sends a godot.Node.rpc to a specific peer identified by peer_id (see godot.NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.setTargetPeer). Returns null.

Sends a godot.Node.rpc using an unreliable protocol. Returns null.

Sends a godot.Node.rpc to a specific peer identified by peer_id using an unreliable protocol (see godot.NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.setTargetPeer). Returns null.

Remotely changes a property's value on other peers (and locally). Behaviour depends on the RPC configuration for the given property, see godot.Node.rsetConfig. See also godot.Node.rpc for RPCs for methods, most information applies to this method as well.

Changes the RPC mode for the given property to the given mode. See godot.MultiplayerAPI_RPCMode. An alternative is annotating methods and properties with the corresponding keywords (remote, master, puppet, remotesync, mastersync, puppetsync). By default, properties are not exposed to networking (and RPCs). See also godot.Node.rpc and godot.Node.rpcConfig for methods.

Sets the folded state of the node in the Scene dock.

Sets the node's network master to the peer with the given peer ID. The network master is the peer that has authority over the node on the network. Useful in conjunction with the master and puppet keywords. Inherited from the parent node by default, which ultimately defaults to peer ID 1 (the server). If recursive, the given peer is recursively set as the master for all children of this node.

Enables or disables physics (i.e. fixed framerate) processing. When a node is being processed, it will receive a godot.Node.notificationPhysicsProcess at a fixed (usually 60 FPS, see godot.Engine.iterationsPerSecond to change) interval (and the godot.Node._PhysicsProcess callback will be called if exists). Enabled automatically if godot.Node._PhysicsProcess is overridden. Any calls to this before godot.Node._Ready will be ignored.

Enables or disables internal physics for this node. Internal physics processing happens in isolation from the normal godot.Node._PhysicsProcess calls and is used by some nodes internally to guarantee proper functioning even if the node is paused or physics processing is disabled for scripting (godot.Node.setPhysicsProcess). Only useful for advanced uses to manipulate built-in nodes' behavior.

Warning: Built-in Nodes rely on the internal processing for their own logic, so changing this value from your code may lead to unexpected behavior. Script access to this internal logic is provided for specific advanced uses, but is unsafe and not supported.

Enables or disables processing. When a node is being processed, it will receive a godot.Node.notificationProcess on every drawn frame (and the godot.Node._Process callback will be called if exists). Enabled automatically if godot.Node._Process is overridden. Any calls to this before godot.Node._Ready will be ignored.

Enables or disables input processing. This is not required for GUI controls! Enabled automatically if godot.Node._Input is overridden. Any calls to this before godot.Node._Ready will be ignored.

Enables unhandled input processing. This is not required for GUI controls! It enables the node to receive all input that was not previously handled (usually by a godot.Control). Enabled automatically if godot.Node._UnhandledInput is overridden. Any calls to this before godot.Node._Ready will be ignored.

Enables unhandled key input processing. Enabled automatically if godot.Node._UnhandledKeyInput is overridden. Any calls to this before godot.Node._Ready will be ignored.

Sets whether this is an instance load placeholder. See godot.InstancePlaceholder.

Updates the warning displayed for this node in the Scene Dock.

Use godot.Node._GetConfigurationWarning to setup the warning message to display.

Virtual method which can be overridden to customize the return value of godot.Object.get.

Returns the given property. Returns null if the property does not exist.

Virtual method which can be overridden to customize the return value of godot.Object.getPropertyList.

Returns the object's property list as an godot.Collections_Array of dictionaries.

Each property's godot.Collections_Dictionary must contain at least name: String and type: int (see godot.Variant_Type) entries. Optionally, it can also include hint: int (see godot.PropertyHint), hint_string: String, and usage: int (see godot.PropertyUsageFlags).

Called whenever the object receives a notification, which is identified in what by a constant. The base godot.Object has two constants godot.Object.notificationPostinitialize and godot.Object.notificationPredelete, but subclasses such as godot.Node define a lot more notifications which are also received by this method.

Virtual method which can be overridden to customize the return value of godot.Object.set.

Sets a property. Returns true if the property exists.

Adds a user-defined signal. Arguments are optional, but can be added as an godot.Collections_Array of dictionaries, each containing name: String and type: int (see godot.Variant_Type) entries.

Parameters:

Calls the method on the object and returns the result. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:

call("set", "position", Vector2(42.0, 0.0))

Note: In C#, the method name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined methods where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

Calls the method on the object during idle time. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:

call_deferred("set", "position", Vector2(42.0, 0.0))

Note: In C#, the method name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined methods where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

Calls the method on the object and returns the result. Contrarily to godot.Object.call, this method does not support a variable number of arguments but expects all parameters to be via a single godot.Collections_Array.

callv("set", [ "position", Vector2(42.0, 0.0) ])

Returns true if the object can translate strings. See godot.Object.setMessageTranslation and godot.Object.tr.

Connects a signal to a method on a target object. Pass optional binds to the call as an godot.Collections_Array of parameters. These parameters will be passed to the method after any parameter used in the call to godot.Object.emitSignal. Use flags to set deferred or one-shot connections. See godot.Object_ConnectFlags constants.

A signal can only be connected once to a method. It will print an error if already connected, unless the signal was connected with godot.Object_ConnectFlags.referenceCounted. To avoid this, first, use godot.Object.isConnected to check for existing connections.

If the target is destroyed in the game's lifecycle, the connection will be lost.

Examples:

connect("pressed", self, "_on_Button_pressed") # BaseButton signal
connect("text_entered", self, "_on_LineEdit_text_entered") # LineEdit signal
connect("hit", self, "_on_Player_hit", [ weapon_type, damage ]) # User-defined signal

An example of the relationship between binds passed to godot.Object.connect and parameters used when calling godot.Object.emitSignal:

connect("hit", self, "_on_Player_hit", [ weapon_type, damage ]) # weapon_type and damage are passed last
emit_signal("hit", "Dark lord", 5) # "Dark lord" and 5 are passed first
func _on_Player_hit(hit_by, level, weapon_type, damage):
print("Hit by %s (lvl %d) with weapon %s for %d damage" % [hit_by, level, weapon_type, damage])

Parameters:

Disconnects a signal from a method on the given target.

If you try to disconnect a connection that does not exist, the method will print an error. Use godot.Object.isConnected to ensure that the connection exists.

Disposes of this godot.Object.

Emits the given signal. The signal must exist, so it should be a built-in signal of this class or one of its parent classes, or a user-defined signal. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters are passed as a comma separated list. Example:

emit_signal("hit", weapon_type, damage)
emit_signal("game_over")

Deletes the object from memory immediately. For godot.Nodes, you may want to use godot.Node.queueFree to queue the node for safe deletion at the end of the current frame.

Important: If you have a variable pointing to an object, it will not be assigned to null once the object is freed. Instead, it will point to a previously freed instance and you should validate it with @GDScript.is_instance_valid before attempting to call its methods or access its properties.

Returns the Variant value of the given property. If the property doesn't exist, this will return null.

Note: In C#, the property name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined properties where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

Returns the object's class as a String. See also godot.Object.isClass.

Note: godot.Object.getClass does not take class_name declarations into account. If the object has a class_name defined, the base class name will be returned instead.

Returns an godot.Collections_Array of dictionaries with information about signals that are connected to the object.

Each godot.Collections_Dictionary contains three String entries:

• source is a reference to the signal emitter.

• signal_name is the name of the connected signal.

• method_name is the name of the method to which the signal is connected.

Gets the object's property indexed by the given godot.NodePath. The node path should be relative to the current object and can use the colon character (:) to access nested properties. Examples: "position:x" or "material:next_pass:blend_mode".

Note: Even though the method takes godot.NodePath argument, it doesn't support actual paths to godot.Nodes in the scene tree, only colon-separated sub-property paths. For the purpose of nodes, use godot.Node.getNodeAndResource instead.

Returns the object's unique instance ID.

This ID can be saved in godot.EncodedObjectAsID, and can be used to retrieve the object instance with @GDScript.instance_from_id.

Returns the object's metadata entry for the given name.

Returns the object's metadata as a String.

Returns the object's methods and their signatures as an godot.Collections_Array.

Returns the object's property list as an godot.Collections_Array of dictionaries.

Each property's godot.Collections_Dictionary contain at least name: String and type: int (see godot.Variant_Type) entries. Optionally, it can also include hint: int (see godot.PropertyHint), hint_string: String, and usage: int (see godot.PropertyUsageFlags).

Returns the object's godot.Script instance, or null if none is assigned.

Returns an godot.Collections_Array of connections for the given signal.

Returns the list of signals as an godot.Collections_Array of dictionaries.

Returns true if a metadata entry is found with the given name.

Returns true if the object contains the given method.

Returns true if the given signal exists.

Returns true if the given user-defined signal exists. Only signals added using godot.Object.addUserSignal are taken into account.

Returns true if signal emission blocking is enabled.

Returns true if the object inherits from the given class. See also godot.Object.getClass.

Note: godot.Object.isClass does not take class_name declarations into account. If the object has a class_name defined, godot.Object.isClass will return false for that name.

Returns true if a connection exists for a given signal, target, and method.

Returns true if the godot.Node.queueFree method was called for the object.

Send a given notification to the object, which will also trigger a call to the godot.Object._Notification method of all classes that the object inherits from.

If reversed is true, godot.Object._Notification is called first on the object's own class, and then up to its successive parent classes. If reversed is false, godot.Object._Notification is called first on the highest ancestor (godot.Object itself), and then down to its successive inheriting classes.

Notify the editor that the property list has changed, so that editor plugins can take the new values into account. Does nothing on export builds.

Removes a given entry from the object's metadata. See also godot.Object.setMeta.

Assigns a new value to the given property. If the property does not exist or the given value's type doesn't match, nothing will happen.

Note: In C#, the property name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined properties where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

If set to true, signal emission is blocked.

Assigns a new value to the given property, after the current frame's physics step. This is equivalent to calling godot.Object.set via godot.Object.callDeferred, i.e. call_deferred("set", property, value).

Note: In C#, the property name must be specified as snake_case if it is defined by a built-in Godot node. This doesn't apply to user-defined properties where you should use the same convention as in the C# source (typically PascalCase).

Assigns a new value to the property identified by the godot.NodePath. The node path should be relative to the current object and can use the colon character (:) to access nested properties. Example:

set_indexed("position", Vector2(42, 0))
set_indexed("position:y", -10)
print(position) # (42, -10)

Defines whether the object can translate strings (with calls to godot.Object.tr). Enabled by default.

Adds, changes or removes a given entry in the object's metadata. Metadata are serialized and can take any Variant value.

To remove a given entry from the object's metadata, use godot.Object.removeMeta. Metadata is also removed if its value is set to null. This means you can also use set_meta("name", null) to remove metadata for "name".

Assigns a script to the object. Each object can have a single script assigned to it, which are used to extend its functionality.

If the object already had a script, the previous script instance will be freed and its variables and state will be lost. The new script's method will be called.

Returns a new godot.SignalAwaiter awaiter configured to complete when the instance source emits the signal specified by the signal parameter.

Parameters:

public override void _Ready()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
await ToSignal(GetTree(), "idle_frame");
GD.Print($"Frame {i}");
}
}

Returns:

Converts this godot.Object to a string.

Returns:

Translates a message using translation catalogs configured in the Project Settings.

Only works if message translation is enabled (which it is by default), otherwise it returns the message unchanged. See godot.Object.setMessageTranslation.
