Method Descriptions

bool can_instantiate ( StringName class ) const

Returns true if objects can be instantiated from the specified class, otherwise returns false.

---

bool class_exists ( StringName class ) const

Returns whether the specified class is available or not.

---

PackedStringArray class_get_enum_constants ( StringName class, StringName enum, bool no_inheritance=false ) const

Returns an array with all the keys in enum of class or its ancestry.

---

PackedStringArray class_get_enum_list ( StringName class, bool no_inheritance=false ) const

Returns an array with all the enums of class or its ancestry.

---

int class_get_integer_constant ( StringName class, StringName name ) const

Returns the value of the integer constant name of class or its ancestry. Always returns 0 when the constant could not be found.

---

StringName class_get_integer_constant_enum ( StringName class, StringName name, bool no_inheritance=false ) const

Returns which enum the integer constant name of class or its ancestry belongs to.

---

PackedStringArray class_get_integer_constant_list ( StringName class, bool no_inheritance=false ) const

Returns an array with the names all the integer constants of class or its ancestry.

---

Dictionary[] class_get_method_list ( StringName class, bool no_inheritance=false ) const

Returns an array with all the methods of class or its ancestry if no_inheritance is false. Every element of the array is a Dictionary with the following keys: args, default_args, flags, id, name, return: (class_name, hint, hint_string, name, type, usage).

Note: In exported release builds the debug info is not available, so the returned dictionaries will contain only method names.

---

Variant class_get_property ( Object object, StringName property ) const

Returns the value of property of object or its ancestry.

---

Dictionary[] class_get_property_list ( StringName cl
