class ShaderMaterial

Sets the godot.Material to be used for the next pass. This renders the object again using a different material.

Note: This only applies to godot.SpatialMaterials and godot.ShaderMaterials with type "Spatial".

Sets the render priority for transparent objects in 3D scenes. Higher priority objects will be sorted in front of lower priority objects.

Note: This only applies to sorting of transparent objects. This will not impact how transparent objects are sorted relative to opaque objects. This is because opaque objects are not sorted, while transparent objects are sorted from back to front (subject to priority).

changed signal.

If true, the resource will be made unique in each instance of its local scene. It can thus be modified in a scene instance without impacting other instances of that same scene.

The name of the resource. This is an optional identifier. If godot.Resource.resourceName is not empty, its value will be displayed to represent the current resource in the editor inspector. For built-in scripts, the godot.Resource.resourceName will be displayed as the tab name in the script editor.

The path to the resource. In case it has its own file, it will return its filepath. If it's tied to the scene, it will return the scene's path, followed by the resource's index.

Gets a new godot.DynamicGodotObject associated with this instance.

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

script_changed signal.

Virtual function which can be overridden to customize the behavior value of godot.Resource.setupLocalToScene.

Duplicates the resource, returning a new resource with the exported members copied. Note: To duplicate the resource the constructor is called without arguments. This method will error when the constructor doesn't have default values.

By default, sub-resources are shared between resource copies for efficiency. This can be changed by passing true to the subresources argument which will copy the subresources.

Note: If subresources is true, this method will only perform a shallow copy. Nested resources within subresources will not be duplicated and will still be shared.

Note: When duplicating a resource, only exported properties are copied. Other properties will be set to their default value in the new resource.

Emits the changed signal.

If external objects which depend on this resource should be updated, this method must be called manually whenever the state of this resource has changed (such as modification of properties).

The method is equivalent to:

emit_signal("changed")

Note: This method is called automatically for built-in resources.

If godot.Resource.resourceLocalToScene is enabled and the resource was loaded from a godot.PackedScene instantiation, returns the local scene where this resource's unique copy is in use. Otherwise, returns null.

Returns the RID of the resource (or an empty RID). Many resources (such as godot.Texture, godot.Mesh, etc) are high-level abstractions of resources stored in a server, so this function will return the original RID.

This method is called when a resource with godot.Resource.resourceLocalToScene enabled is loaded from a godot.PackedScene instantiation. Its behavior can be customized by overriding godot.Resource._SetupLocalToScene from script.

For most resources, this method performs no base logic. godot.ViewportTexture performs custom logic to properly set the proxy texture and flags in the local viewport.

Sets the path of the resource, potentially overriding an existing cache entry for this path. This differs from setting godot.Resource.resourcePath, as the latter would error out if another resource was already cached for the given path.

Initializes the internal reference counter. Use this only if you really know what you are doing.

Returns whether the initialization was successful.

Increments the internal reference counter. Use this only if you really know what you are doing.

Returns true if the increment was successful, false otherwise.

Decrements the internal reference counter. Use this only if you really know what you are doing.

Returns true if the decrement was successful, false otherwise.

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.
