Global scope constants and functions.
A list of global scope enumerated constants and built-in functions. This is all that resides in the globals, constants regarding error codes, keycodes, property hints, etc. Singletons are also documented here, since they can be accessed from anywhere. For the entries that can only be accessed from scripts written in GDScript, see [@GDScript].

Returns the absolute value of a [Variant] parameter [param x] (i.e. non-negative value). Supported types: [int], [float], [Vector2], [Vector2i], [Vector3], [Vector3i], [Vector4], [Vector4i]. [codeblock] var a = abs(-1) # a is 1

var b = abs(-1.2) # b is 1.2

var c = abs(Vector2(-3.5, -4)) # c is (3.5, 4)

var d = abs(Vector2i(-5, -6)) # d is (5, 6)

var e = abs(Vector3(-7, 8.5, -3.8)) # e is (7, 8.5, 3.8)

var f = abs(Vector3i(-7, -8, -9)) # f is (7, 8, 9) [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] For better type safety, use [method absf], [method absi], [method Vector2.abs], [method Vector2i.abs], [method Vector3.abs], [method Vector3i.abs], [method Vector4.abs], or [method Vector4i.abs].
Returns the absolute value of float parameter [param x] (i.e. positive value). [codeblock] # a is 1.2 var a = absf(-1.2) [/codeblock]
Returns the absolute value of int parameter [param x] (i.e. positive value). [codeblock] # a is 1 var a = absi(-1) [/codeblock]
Returns the arc cosine of [param x] in radians. Use to get the angle of cosine [param x]. [param x] will be clamped between [code]-1.0[/code] and [code]1.0[/code] (inclusive), in order to prevent [method acos] from returning [constant @GDScript.NAN]. [codeblock] # c is 0.523599 or 30 degrees if converted with rad_to_deg(c) var c = acos(0.866025) [/codeblock]
Returns the hyperbolic arc (also called inverse) cosine of [param x], returning a value in radians. Use it to get the angle from an angle's cosine in hyperbolic space if [param x] is larger or equal to 1. For values of [param x] lower than 1, it will return 0, in order to prevent [method acosh] from returning [constant @GDScript.NAN]. [codeblock] var a = acosh(2) # Returns 1.31695789692482 cosh(a) # Returns 2

var b = acosh(-1) # Returns 0 [/codeblock]

Returns the arc sine of [param x] in radians. Use to get the angle of sine [param x]. [param x] will be clamped between [code]-1.0[/code] and [code]1.0[/code] (inclusive), in order to prevent [method asin] from returning [constant @GDScript.NAN].

Returns the arc tangent of [param x] in radians. Use it to get the angle from an angle's tangent in trigonometry. The method cannot know in which quadrant the angle should fall. See [method atan2] if you have both [code]y[/code] and [code skip-lint]x[/code]. [codeblock] var a = atan(0.5) # a is 0.463648 [/codeblock] If [param x] is between [code]-PI / 2[/code] and [code]PI / 2[/code] (inclusive), [code]atan(tan(x))[/code] is equal to [param x].
Returns the arc tangent of [code]y/x[/code] in radians. Use to get the angle of tangent [code]y/x[/code]. To compute the value, the method takes into account the sign of both arguments in order to determine the quadrant. Important note: The Y coordinate comes first, by convention. [codeblock] var a = atan2(0, -1) # a is 3.141593 [/codeblock]
Returns the hyperbolic arc (also called inverse) tangent of [param x], returning a value in radians. Use it to get the angle from an angle's tangent in hyperbolic space if [param x] is between -1 and 1 (non-inclusive). In mathematics, the inverse hyperbolic tangent is only defined for -1 < [param x] < 1 in the real set, so values equal or lower to -1 for [param x] return negative [constant @GDScript.INF] and values equal or higher than 1 return positive [constant @GDScript.INF] in order to prevent [method atanh] from returning [constant @GDScript.NAN]. [codeblock] var a = atanh(0.9) # Returns 1.47221948958322 tanh(a) # Returns 0.9

var b = atanh(-2) # Returns -inf tanh(b) # Returns -1 [/codeblock]

Clamps the [param value], returning a [Variant] not less than [param min] and not more than [param max]. Any values that can be compared with the less than and greater than operators will work. [codeblock] var a = clamp(-10, -1, 5) # a is -1

var b = clamp(8.1, 0.9, 5.5) # b is 5.5 [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] For better type safety, use [method clampf], [method clampi], [method Vector2.clamp], [method Vector2i.clamp], [method Vector3.clamp], [method Vector3i.clamp], [method Vector4.clamp], [method Vector4i.clamp], or [method Color.clamp] (not currently supported by this method).

The natural exponential function. It raises the mathematical constant [i]e[/i] to the power of [param x] and returns it. [i]e[/i] has an approximate value of 2.71828, and can be obtained with [code]exp(1)[/code]. For exponents to other bases use the method [method pow]. [codeblock] var a = exp(2) # Approximately 7.39 [/codeblock]

Returns an interpolation or extrapolation factor considering the range specified in [param from] and [param to], and the interpolated value specified in [param weight]. The returned value will be between [code]0.0[/code] and [code]1.0[/code] if [param weight] is between [param from] and [param to] (inclusive). If [param weight] is located outside this range, then an extrapolation factor will be returned (return value lower than [code]0.0[/code] or greater than [code]1.0[/code]). Use [method clamp] on the result of [method inverse_lerp] if this is not desired. [codeblock] # The interpolation ratio in the `lerp()` call below is 0.75. var middle = lerp(20, 30, 0.75) # middle is now 27.5.

# Now, we pretend to have forgotten the original ratio and want to get it back. var ratio = inverse_lerp(20, 30, 27.5) # ratio is now 0.75. [/codeblock] See also [method lerp], which performs the reverse of this operation, and [method remap] to map a continuous series of values to another.
Returns [code]true[/code] if [param a] and [param b] are approximately equal to each other. Here, "approximately equal" means that [param a] and [param b] are within a small internal epsilon of each other, which scales with the magnitude of the numbers. Infinity values of the same sign are considered equal.
Returns whether [param x] is a finite value, i.e. it is not [constant @GDScript.NAN], positive infinity, or negative infinity. See also [method is_inf] and [method is_nan].
Returns [code]true[/code] if [param x] is either positive infinity or negative infinity. See also [method is_finite] and [method is_nan].
Returns [code]true[/code] if the Object that corresponds to [param id] is a valid object (e.g. has not been deleted from memory). All Objects have a unique instance ID.
Returns [code]true[/code] if [param instance] is a valid Object (e.g. has not been deleted from memory).
Returns [code]true[/code] if [param x] is a NaN ("Not a Number" or invalid) value. This method is needed as [constant @GDScript.NAN] is not equal to itself, which means [code]x == NAN[/code] can't be used to check whether a value is a NaN.
Returns [code]true[/code], for value types, if [param a] and [param b] share the same value. Returns [code]true[/code], for reference types, if the references of [param a] and [param b] are the same. [codeblock] # Vector2 is a value type var vec2_a = Vector2(0, 0) var vec2_b = Vector2(0, 0) var vec2_c = Vector2(1, 1) is_same(vec2_a, vec2_a) # true is_same(vec2_a, vec2_b) # true is_same(vec2_a, vec2_c) # false

# Array is a reference type var arr_a = [] var arr_b = [] is_same(arr_a, arr_a) # true is_same(arr_a, arr_b) # false [/codeblock] These are [Variant] value types: [code]null[/code], [bool], [int], [float], [String], [StringName], [Vector2], [Vector2i], [Vector3], [Vector3i], [Vector4], [Vector4i], [Rect2], [Rect2i], [Transform2D], [Transform3D], [Plane], [Quaternion], [AABB], [Basis], [Projection], [Color], [NodePath], [RID], [Callable] and [Signal]. These are [Variant] reference types: [Object], [Dictionary], [Array], [PackedByteArray], [PackedInt32Array], [PackedInt64Array], [PackedFloat32Array], [PackedFloat64Array], [PackedStringArray], [PackedVector2Array], [PackedVector3Array], [PackedVector4Array], and [PackedColorArray].
Returns [code]true[/code] if [param x] is zero or almost zero. The comparison is done using a tolerance calculation with a small internal epsilon. This function is faster than using [method is_equal_approx] with one value as zero.
Linearly interpolates between two values by the factor defined in [param weight]. To perform interpolation, [param weight] should be between [code]0.0[/code] and [code]1.0[/code] (inclusive). However, values outside this range are allowed and can be used to perform [i]extrapolation[/i]. If this is not desired, use [method clampf] to limit [param weight]. Both [param from] and [param to] must be the same type. Supported types: [int], [float], [Vector2], [Vector3], [Vector4], [Color], [Quaternion], [Basis], [Transform2D], [Transform3D]. [codeblock] lerp(0, 4, 0.75) # Returns 3.0 [/codeblock] See also [method inverse_lerp] which performs the reverse of this operation. To perform eased interpolation with [method lerp], combine it with [method ease] or [method smoothstep]. See also [method remap] to map a continuous series of values to another. [b]Note:[/b] For better type safety, use [method lerpf], [method Vector2.lerp], [method Vector3.lerp], [method Vector4.lerp], [method Color.lerp], [method Quaternion.slerp], [method Basis.slerp], [method Transform2D.interpolate_with], or [method Transform3D.interpolate_with].
Linearly interpolates between two angles (in radians) by a [param weight] value between 0.0 and 1.0. Similar to [method lerp], but interpolates correctly when the angles wrap around [constant @GDScript.TAU]. To perform eased interpolation with [method lerp_angle], combine it with [method ease] or [method smoothstep]. [codeblock] extends Sprite var elapsed = 0.0 func _process(delta): var min_angle = deg_to_rad(0.0) var max_angle = deg_to_rad(90.0) rotation = lerp_angle(min_angle, max_angle, elapsed) elapsed += delta [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] This function lerps through the shortest path between [param from] and [param to]. However, when these two angles are approximately [code]PI + k * TAU[/code] apart for any integer [code]k[/code], it's not obvious which way they lerp due to floating-point precision errors. For example, [code]lerp_angle(0, PI, weight)[/code] lerps counter-clockwise, while [code]lerp_angle(0, PI + 5 * TAU, weight)[/code] lerps clockwise.
Linearly interpolates between two values by the factor defined in [param weight]. To perform interpolation, [param weight] should be between [code]0.0[/code] and [code]1.0[/code] (inclusive). However, values outside this range are allowed and can be used to perform [i]extrapolation[/i]. If this is not desired, use [method clampf] on the result of this function. [codeblock] lerpf(0, 4, 0.75) # Returns 3.0 [/codeblock] See also [method inverse_lerp] which performs the reverse of this operation. To perform eased interpolation with [method lerp], combine it with [method ease] or [method smoothstep].
Converts from linear energy to decibels (audio). Since volume is not normally linear, this can be used to implement volume sliders that behave as expected. [b]Example:[/b] Change the Master bus's volume through a [Slider] node, which ranges from [code]0.0[/code] to [code]1.0[/code]: [codeblock] AudioServer.set_bus_volume_db(AudioServer.get_bus_index("Master"), linear_to_db($Slider.value)) [/codeblock]
Returns the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm]natural logarithm[/url] of [param x] (base [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)][i]e[/i][/url], with [i]e[/i] being approximately 2.71828). This is the amount of time needed to reach a certain level of continuous growth. [b]Note:[/b] This is not the same as the "log" function on most calculators, which uses a base 10 logarithm. To use base 10 logarithm, use [code]log(x) / log(10)[/code]. [codeblock] log(10) # Returns 2.302585 [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] The logarithm of [code]0[/code] returns [code]-inf[/code], while negative values return [code]-nan[/code].
Returns the maximum of the given numeric values. This function can take any number of arguments. [codeblock] max(1, 7, 3, -6, 5) # Returns 7 [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] When using this on vectors it will [i]not[/i] perform component-wise maximum, and will pick the largest value when compared using [code]x < y[/code]. To perform component-wise maximum, use [method Vector2.max], [method Vector2i.max], [method Vector3.max], [method Vector3i.max], [method Vector4.max], and [method Vector4i.max].

Returns the minimum of the given numeric values. This function can take any number of arguments. [codeblock] min(1, 7, 3, -6, 5) # Returns -6 [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] When using this on vectors it will [i]not[/i] perform component-wise minimum, and will pick the smallest value when compared using [code]x < y[/code]. To perform component-wise minimum, use [method Vector2.min], [method Vector2i.min], [method Vector3.min], [method Vector3i.min], [method Vector4.min], and [method Vector4i.min].
Returns the minimum of two [float] values. [codeblock] minf(3.6, 24) # Returns 3.6 minf(-3.99, -4) # Returns -4.0 [/codeblock]

[codeblock] move_toward(5, 10, 4) # Returns 9 move_toward(10, 5, 4) # Returns 6 move_toward(5, 10, 9) # Returns 10 move_toward(10, 5, -1.5) # Returns 11.5 [/codeblock]
Returns the smallest integer power of 2 that is greater than or equal to [param value]. [codeblock] nearest_po2(3) # Returns 4 nearest_po2(4) # Returns 4 nearest_po2(5) # Returns 8

nearest_po2(0) # Returns 0 (this may not be expected) nearest_po2(-1) # Returns 0 (this may not be expected) [/codeblock] [b]Warning:[/b] Due to its implementation, this method returns [code]0[/code] rather than [code]1[/code] for values less than or equal to [code]0[/code], with an exception for [param value] being the smallest negative 64-bit integer ([code]-9223372036854775808[/code]) in which case the [param value] is returned unchanged.
Wraps [param value] between [code]0[/code] and the [param length]. If the limit is reached, the next value the function returns is decreased to the [code]0[/code] side or increased to the [param length] side (like a triangle wave). If [param length] is less than zero, it becomes positive. [codeblock] pingpong(-3.0, 3.0) # Returns 3.0 pingpong(-2.0, 3.0) # Returns 2.0 pingpong(-1.0, 3.0) # Returns 1.0 pingpong(0.0, 3.0) # Returns 0.0 pingpong(1.0, 3.0) # Returns 1.0 pingpong(2.0, 3.0) # Returns 2.0 pingpong(3.0, 3.0) # Returns 3.0 pingpong(4.0, 3.0) # Returns 2.0 pingpong(5.0, 3.0) # Returns 1.0 pingpong(6.0, 3.0) # Returns 0.0 [/codeblock]

[codeblock] print("#(i) (i % 3) (posmod(i, 3))") for i in range(-3, 4): print("%2d %2d | %2d" % [i, i % 3, posmod(i, 3)]) [/codeblock] Prints: [codeblock lang=text] (i) (i % 3) (posmod(i, 3)) -3 0 | 0 -2 -2 | 1 -1 -1 | 2 0 0 | 0 1 1 | 1 2 2 | 2 3 0 | 0 [/codeblock]
Returns the result of [param base] raised to the power of [param exp]. In GDScript, this is the equivalent of the [code]**[/code] operator. [codeblock] pow(2, 5) # Returns 32.0 pow(4, 1.5) # Returns 8.0 [/codeblock]
Converts one or more arguments of any type to string in the best way possible and prints them to the console. [codeblocks] [gdscript] var a = [1, 2, 3] print("a", "b", a) # Prints "ab[1, 2, 3]" [/gdscript] [csharp] Godot.Collections.Array a = [1, 2, 3]; GD.Print("a", "b", a); // Prints "ab[1, 2, 3]" [/csharp] [/codeblocks] [b]Note:[/b] Consider using [method push_error] and [method push_warning] to print error and warning messages instead of [method print] or [method print_rich]. This distinguishes them from print messages used for debugging purposes, while also displaying a stack trace when an error or warning is printed. See also [member Engine.print_to_stdout] and [member ProjectSettings.application/run/disable_stdout].
Converts one or more arguments of any type to string in the best way possible and prints them to the console. The following BBCode tags are supported: [code]b[/code], [code]i[/code], [code]u[/code], [code]s[/code], [code]indent[/code], [code]code[/code], [code]url[/code], [code]center[/code], [code]right[/code], [code]color[/code], [code]bgcolor[/code], [code]fgcolor[/code]. URL tags only support URLs wrapped by a URL tag, not URLs with a different title. When printing to standard output, the supported subset of BBCode is converted to ANSI escape codes for the terminal emulator to display. Support for ANSI escape codes varies across terminal emulators, especially for italic and strikethrough. In standard output, [code]code[/code] is represented with faint text but without any font change. Unsupported tags are left as-is in standard output. [codeblocks] [gdscript skip-lint] print_rich("[color=green][b]Hello world![/b][/color]") # Prints "Hello world!", in green with a bold font. [/gdscript] [csharp skip-lint] GD.PrintRich("[color=green][b]Hello world![/b][/color]"); // Prints "Hello world!", in green with a bold font. [/csharp] [/codeblocks] [b]Note:[/b] Consider using [method push_error] and [method push_warning] to print error and warning messages instead of [method print] or [method print_rich]. This distinguishes them from print messages used for debugging purposes, while also displaying a stack trace when an error or warning is printed. [b]Note:[/b] Output displayed in the editor supports clickable [code skip-lint][url=address]text[/url][/code] tags. The [code skip-lint][url][/code] tag's [code]address[/code] value is handled by [method OS.shell_open] when clicked.
If verbose mode is enabled ([method OS.is_stdout_verbose] returning [code]true[/code]), converts one or more arguments of any type to string in the best way possible and prints them to the console.
Prints one or more arguments to strings in the best way possible to standard error line. [codeblocks] [gdscript] printerr("prints to stderr") [/gdscript] [csharp] GD.PrintErr("prints to stderr"); [/csharp] [/codeblocks]
Prints one or more arguments to strings in the best way possible to the OS terminal. Unlike [method print], no newline is automatically added at the end. [b]Note:[/b] The OS terminal is [i]not[/i] the same as the editor's Output dock. The output sent to the OS terminal can be seen when running Godot from a terminal. On Windows, this requires using the [code]console.exe[/code] executable. [codeblocks] [gdscript] # Prints "ABC" to terminal. printraw("A") printraw("B") printraw("C") [/gdscript] [csharp] // Prints "ABC" to terminal. GD.PrintRaw("A"); GD.PrintRaw("B"); GD.PrintRaw("C"); [/csharp] [/codeblocks]

[/gdscript] [csharp] GD.PushError("test error"); // Prints "test error" to debugger and terminal as an error. [/csharp] [/codeblocks] [b]Note:[/b] This function does not pause project execution. To print an error message and pause project execution in debug builds, use [code]assert(false, "test error")[/code] instead.
Pushes a warning message to Godot's built-in debugger and to the OS terminal. [codeblocks] [gdscript] push_warning("test warning") # Prints "test warning" to debugger and terminal as a warning.

Given a [param seed], returns a [PackedInt64Array] of size [code]2[/code], where its first element is the randomized [int] value, and the second element is the same as [param seed]. Passing the same [param seed] consistently returns the same array. [b]Note:[/b] "Seed" here refers to the internal state of the pseudo random number generator, currently implemented as a 64 bit integer. [codeblock] var a = rand_from_seed(4)

print(a[0]) # Prints 2879024997 print(a[1]) # Prints 4 [/codeblock]
Returns a random floating-point value between [code]0.0[/code] and [code]1.0[/code] (inclusive). [codeblocks] [gdscript] randf() # Returns e.g. 0.375671 [/gdscript] [csharp] GD.Randf(); // Returns e.g. 0.375671 [/csharp] [/codeblocks]

Returns a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution]normally-distributed[/url], pseudo-random floating-point value from the specified [param mean] and a standard [param deviation]. This is also known as a Gaussian distribution. [b]Note:[/b] This method uses the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box%E2%80%93Muller_transform]Box-Muller transform[/url] algorithm.
Returns a random unsigned 32-bit integer. Use remainder to obtain a random value in the interval [code][0, N - 1][/code] (where N is smaller than 2^32).

Randomizes the seed (or the internal state) of the random number generator. The current implementation uses a number based on the device's time. [b]Note:[/b] This function is called automatically when the project is run. If you need to fix the seed to have consistent, reproducible results, use [method seed] to initialize the random number generator.
Maps a [param value] from range [code][istart, istop][/code] to [code][ostart, ostop][/code]. See also [method lerp] and [method inverse_lerp]. If [param value] is outside [code][istart, istop][/code], then the resulting value will also be outside [code][ostart, ostop][/code]. If this is not desired, use [method clamp] on the result of this function. [codeblock] remap(75, 0, 100, -1, 1) # Returns 0.5 [/codeblock] For complex use cases where multiple ranges are needed, consider using [Curve] or [Gradient] instead. [b]Note:[/b] If [code]istart == istop[/code], the return value is undefined (most likely NaN, INF, or -INF).
Allocates a unique ID which can be used by the implementation to construct an RID. This is used mainly from native extensions to implement servers.
Creates an RID from a [param base]. This is used mainly from native extensions to build servers.
Rotates [param from] toward [param to] by the [param delta] amount. Will not go past [param to]. Similar to [method move_toward], but interpolates correctly when the angles wrap around [constant @GDScript.TAU]. If [param delta] is negative, this function will rotate away from [param to], toward the opposite angle, and will not go past the opposite angle.
Rounds [param x] to the nearest whole number, with halfway cases rounded away from 0. Supported types: [int], [float], [Vector2], [Vector2i], [Vector3], [Vector3i], [Vector4], [Vector4i]. [codeblock] round(2.4) # Returns 2 round(2.5) # Returns 3 round(2.6) # Returns 3 [/codeblock] See also [method floor], [method ceil], and [method snapped]. [b]Note:[/b] For better type safety, use [method roundf], [method roundi], [method Vector2.round], [method Vector3.round], or [method Vector4.round].
Rounds [param x] to the nearest whole number, with halfway cases rounded away from 0. A type-safe version of [method round], returning a [float].
Rounds [param x] to the nearest whole number, with halfway cases rounded away from 0. A type-safe version of [method round], returning an [int].
Sets the seed for the random number generator to [param base]. Setting the seed manually can ensure consistent, repeatable results for most random functions. [codeblocks] [gdscript] var my_seed = "Godot Rocks".hash() seed(my_seed) var a = randf() + randi() seed(my_seed) var b = randf() + randi() # a and b are now identical [/gdscript] [csharp] ulong mySeed = (ulong)GD.Hash("Godot Rocks"); GD.Seed(mySeed); var a = GD.Randf() + GD.Randi(); GD.Seed(mySeed); var b = GD.Randf() + GD.Randi(); // a and b are now identical [/csharp] [/codeblocks]
Returns the same type of [Variant] as [param x], with [code]-1[/code] for negative values, [code]1[/code] for positive values, and [code]0[/code] for zeros. For [code]nan[/code] values it returns 0. Supported types: [int], [float], [Vector2], [Vector2i], [Vector3], [Vector3i], [Vector4], [Vector4i]. [codeblock] sign(-6.0) # Returns -1 sign(0.0) # Returns 0 sign(6.0) # Returns 1 sign(NAN) # Returns 0

sign(Vector3(-6.0, 0.0, 6.0)) # Returns (-1, 0, 1) [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] For better type safety, use [method signf], [method signi], [method Vector2.sign], [method Vector2i.sign], [method Vector3.sign], [method Vector3i.sign], [method Vector4.sign], or [method Vector4i.sign].
Returns [code]-1.0[/code] if [param x] is negative, [code]1.0[/code] if [param x] is positive, and [code]0.0[/code] if [param x] is zero. For [code]nan[/code] values of [param x] it returns 0.0.

Returns a smooth cubic Hermite interpolation between [code]0[/code] and [code]1[/code]. For positive ranges (when [code]from <= to[/code]) the return value is [code]0[/code] when [code]x <= from[/code], and [code]1[/code] when [code]x >= to[/code]. If [param x] lies between [param from] and [param to], the return value follows an S-shaped curve that smoothly transitions from [code]0[/code] to [code]1[/code]. For negative ranges (when [code]from > to[/code]) the function is mirrored and returns [code]1[/code] when [code]x <= to[/code] and [code]0[/code] when [code]x >= from[/code]. This S-shaped curve is the cubic Hermite interpolator, given by [code]f(y) = 3*y^2 - 2*y^3[/code] where [code]y = (x-from) / (to-from)[/code]. [codeblock] smoothstep(0, 2, -5.0) # Returns 0.0 smoothstep(0, 2, 0.5) # Returns 0.15625 smoothstep(0, 2, 1.0) # Returns 0.5 smoothstep(0, 2, 2.0) # Returns 1.0 [/codeblock] Compared to [method ease] with a curve value of [code]-1.6521[/code], [method smoothstep] returns the smoothest possible curve with no sudden changes in the derivative. If you need to perform more advanced transitions, use [Tween] or [AnimationPlayer].

Returns the multiple of [param step] that is the closest to [param x]. This can also be used to round a floating-point number to an arbitrary number of decimals. The returned value is the same type of [Variant] as [param step]. Supported types: [int], [float], [Vector2], [Vector2i], [Vector3], [Vector3i], [Vector4], [Vector4i]. [codeblock] snapped(100, 32) # Returns 96 snapped(3.14159, 0.01) # Returns 3.14

snapped(Vector2(34, 70), Vector2(8, 8)) # Returns (32, 72) [/codeblock] See also [method ceil], [method floor], and [method round]. [b]Note:[/b] For better type safety, use [method snappedf], [method snappedi], [method Vector2.snapped], [method Vector2i.snapped], [method Vector3.snapped], [method Vector3i.snapped], [method Vector4.snapped], or [method Vector4i.snapped].
Returns the multiple of [param step] that is the closest to [param x]. This can also be used to round a floating-point number to an arbitrary number of decimals. A type-safe version of [method snapped], returning a [float]. [codeblock] snappedf(32.0, 2.5) # Returns 32.5 snappedf(3.14159, 0.01) # Returns 3.14 [/codeblock]

Returns the square root of [param x], where [param x] is a non-negative number. [codeblock] sqrt(9) # Returns 3 sqrt(10.24) # Returns 3.2 sqrt(-1) # Returns NaN [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] Negative values of [param x] return NaN ("Not a Number"). In C#, if you need negative inputs, use [code]System.Numerics.Complex[/code].
Returns the position of the first non-zero digit, after the decimal point. Note that the maximum return value is 10, which is a design decision in the implementation. [codeblock] var n = step_decimals(5) # n is 0 n = step_decimals(1.0005) # n is 4 n = step_decimals(0.000000005) # n is 9 [/codeblock]
Converts one or more arguments of any [Variant] type to a [String] in the best way possible. [codeblock] var a = [10, 20, 30] var b = str(a) print(len(a)) # Prints 3 (the number of elements in the array). print(len(b)) # Prints 12 (the length of the string "[10, 20, 30]"). [/codeblock]
Converts a formatted [param string] that was returned by [method var_to_str] to the original [Variant]. [codeblocks] [gdscript] var data = '{ "a": 1, "b": 2 }' # data is a String var dict = str_to_var(data) # dict is a Dictionary print(dict["a"]) # Prints 1 [/gdscript] [csharp] string data = "{ \"a\": 1, \"b\": 2 }"; // data is a string var dict = GD.StrToVar(data).AsGodotDictionary(); // dict is a Dictionary GD.Print(dict["a"]); // Prints 1 [/csharp] [/codeblocks]

Returns the hyperbolic tangent of [param x]. [codeblock] var a = log(2.0) # Returns 0.693147 tanh(a) # Returns 0.6 [/codeblock]
Converts the given [param variant] to the given [param type], using the [enum Variant.Type] values. This method is generous with how it handles types, it can automatically convert between array types, convert numeric [String]s to [int], and converting most things to [String]. If the type conversion cannot be done, this method will return the default value for that type, for example converting [Rect2] to [Vector2] will always return [constant Vector2.ZERO]. This method will never show error messages as long as [param type] is a valid Variant type. The returned value is a [Variant], but the data inside and its type will be the same as the requested type. [codeblock] type_convert("Hi!", TYPE_INT) # Returns 0 type_convert("123", TYPE_INT) # Returns 123 type_convert(123.4, TYPE_INT) # Returns 123 type_convert(5, TYPE_VECTOR2) # Returns (0, 0) type_convert("Hi!", TYPE_NIL) # Returns null [/codeblock]
Returns a human-readable name of the given [param type], using the [enum Variant.Type] values. [codeblock] print(TYPE_INT) # Prints 2 print(type_string(TYPE_INT)) # Prints "int" print(type_string(TYPE_STRING)) # Prints "String" [/codeblock] See also [method typeof].
Returns the internal type of the given [param variable], using the [enum Variant.Type] values. [codeblock] var json = JSON.new() json.parse('["a", "b", "c"]') var result = json.get_data() if typeof(result) == TYPE_ARRAY: print(result[0]) # Prints "a" else: print("Unexpected result!") [/codeblock] See also [method type_string].
Encodes a [Variant] value to a byte array, without encoding objects. Deserialization can be done with [method bytes_to_var]. [b]Note:[/b] If you need object serialization, see [method var_to_bytes_with_objects]. [b]Note:[/b] Encoding [Callable] is not supported and will result in an empty value, regardless of the data.
Encodes a [Variant] value to a byte array. Encoding objects is allowed (and can potentially include executable code). Deserialization can be done with [method bytes_to_var_with_objects]. [b]Note:[/b] Encoding [Callable] is not supported and will result in an empty value, regardless of the data.
Converts a [Variant] [param variable] to a formatted [String] that can then be parsed using [method str_to_var]. [codeblocks] [gdscript] var a = { "a": 1, "b": 2 } print(var_to_str(a)) [/gdscript] [csharp] var a = new Godot.Collections.Dictionary { ["a"] = 1, ["b"] = 2 }; GD.Print(GD.VarToStr(a)); [/csharp] [/codeblocks] Prints: [codeblock lang=text] { "a": 1, "b": 2 } [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] Converting [Signal] or [Callable] is not supported and will result in an empty value for these types, regardless of their data.
Returns a [WeakRef] instance holding a weak reference to [param obj]. Returns an empty [WeakRef] instance if [param obj] is [code]null[/code]. Prints an error and returns [code]null[/code] if [param obj] is neither [Object]-derived nor [code]null[/code]. 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 the [Variant] [param value] between [param min] and [param max]. [param min] is [i]inclusive[/i] while [param max] is [i]exclusive[/i]. This can be used for creating loop-like behavior or infinite surfaces. Variant types [int] and [float] are supported. If any of the arguments is [float], this function returns a [float], otherwise it returns an [int]. [codeblock] var a = wrap(4, 5, 10) # a is 9 (int)

var a = wrap(7, 5, 10) # a is 7 (int)

var a = wrap(10.5, 5, 10) # a is 5.5 (float) [/codeblock]
Wraps the float [param value] between [param min] and [param max]. [param min] is [i]inclusive[/i] while [param max] is [i]exclusive[/i]. This can be used for creating loop-like behavior or infinite surfaces. [codeblock] # Infinite loop between 5.0 and 9.9 value = wrapf(value + 0.1, 5.0, 10.0) [/codeblock] [codeblock] # Infinite rotation (in radians) angle = wrapf(angle + 0.1, 0.0, TAU) [/codeblock] [codeblock] # Infinite rotation (in radians) angle = wrapf(angle + 0.1, -PI, PI) [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] If [param min] is [code]0[/code], this is equivalent to [method fposmod], so prefer using that instead. [method wrapf] is more flexible than using the [method fposmod] approach by giving the user control over the minimum value.
Wraps the integer [param value] between [param min] and [param max]. [param min] is [i]inclusive[/i] while [param max] is [i]exclusive[/i]. This can be used for creating loop-like behavior or infinite surfaces.

MIDI message sent to reset a MIDI device to its default state, as if it was just turned on. It should not be sent when the MIDI device is being turned on.
Methods that return [enum Error] return [constant OK] when no error occurred. Since [constant OK] has value [code]0[/code], and all other error constants are positive integers, it can also be used in boolean checks. [codeblock] var error = method_that_returns_error() if error != OK: printerr("Failure!")

# Or, alternatively: if error: printerr("Still failing!") [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] Many functions do not return an error code, but will print error messages to standard output.

The property has no hint for the editor.
Hints that an [int] or [float] property should be within a range specified via the hint string [code]"min,max"[/code] or [code]"min,max,step"[/code]. The hint string can optionally include [code]"or_greater"[/code] and/or [code]"or_less"[/code] to allow manual input going respectively above the max or below the min values. [b]Example:[/b] [code]"-360,360,1,or_greater,or_less"[/code]. Additionally, other keywords can be included: [code]"exp"[/code] for exponential range editing, [code]"radians_as_degrees"[/code] for editing radian angles in degrees (the range values are also in degrees), [code]"degrees"[/code] to hint at an angle, [code]"prefer_slider"[/code] to show the slider for integers, [code]"hide_control"[/code] to hide the slider or up-down arrows, and [code]"suffix:px/s"[/code] to display a suffix indicating the value's unit (e.g. [code]px/s[/code] for pixels per second).
Hints that an [int], [String], or [StringName] property is an enumerated value to pick in a list specified via a hint string. The hint string is a comma separated list of names such as [code]"Hello,Something,Else"[/code]. Whitespace is [b]not[/b] removed from either end of a name. For integer properties, the first name in the list has value 0, the next 1, and so on. Explicit values can also be specified by appending [code]:integer[/code] to the name, e.g. [code]"Zero,One,Three:3,Four,Six:6"[/code].
Hints that a [String] or [StringName] property can be an enumerated value to pick in a list specified via a hint string such as [code]"Hello,Something,Else"[/code]. See [constant PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM] for details. Unlike [constant PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM], a property with this hint still accepts arbitrary values and can be empty. The list of values serves to suggest possible values.
Hints that a [float] property should be edited via an exponential easing function. The hint string can include [code]"attenuation"[/code] to flip the curve horizontally and/or [code]"positive_only"[/code] to exclude in/out easing and limit values to be greater than or equal to zero.
Hints that a vector property should allow its components to be linked. For example, this allows [member Vector2.x] and [member Vector2.y] to be edited together.
Hints that an [int] property is a bitmask with named bit flags. The hint string is a comma separated list of names such as [code]"Bit0,Bit1,Bit2,Bit3"[/code]. Whitespace is [b]not[/b] removed from either end of a name. The first name in the list has value 1, the next 2, then 4, 8, 16 and so on. Explicit values can also be specified by appending [code]:integer[/code] to the name, e.g. [code]"A:4,B:8,C:16"[/code]. You can also combine several flags ([code]"A:4,B:8,AB:12,C:16"[/code]). [b]Note:[/b] A flag value must be at least [code]1[/code] and at most [code]2 ** 32 - 1[/code]. [b]Note:[/b] Unlike [constant PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM], the previous explicit value is not taken into account. For the hint [code]"A:16,B,C"[/code], A is 16, B is 2, C is 4.
Hints that an [int] property is a bitmask using the optionally named 2D render layers.
Hints that an [int] property is a bitmask using the optionally named 2D physics layers.
Hints that an [int] property is a bitmask using the optionally named 2D navigation layers.

Hints that an [int] property is a bitmask using the optionally named 3D physics layers.
Hints that an [int] property is a bitmask using the optionally named 3D navigation layers.
Hints that an integer property is a bitmask using the optionally named avoidance layers.
Hints that a [String] property is a path to a file. Editing it will show a file dialog for picking the path. The hint string can be a set of filters with wildcards like [code]"*.png,*.jpg"[/code]. By default the file will be stored as UID whenever available. You can use [ResourceUID] methods to convert it back to path. For storing a raw path, use [constant PROPERTY_HINT_FILE_PATH].
Hints that a [String] property is a path to a directory. Editing it will show a file dialog for picking the path.
Hints that a [String] property is an absolute path to a file outside the project folder. Editing it will show a file dialog for picking the path. The hint string can be a set of filters with wildcards, like [code]"*.png,*.jpg"[/code].
Hints that a [String] property is an absolute path to a directory outside the project folder. Editing it will show a file dialog for picking the path.
Hints that a property is an instance of a [Resource]-derived type, optionally specified via the hint string (e.g. [code]"Texture2D"[/code]). Editing it will show a popup menu of valid resource types to instantiate.
Hints that a [String] property is text with line breaks. Editing it will show a text input field where line breaks can be typed. The hint string can be set to [code]"monospace"[/code] to force the input field to use a monospaced font. If the hint string [code]"no_wrap"[/code] is set, the input field will not wrap lines at boundaries, instead resorting to making the area scrollable.
Hints that a [String] property is an [Expression].
Hints that a [String] property should show a placeholder text on its input field, if empty. The hint string is the placeholder text to use.
Hints that a [Color] property should be edited without affecting its transparency ([member Color.a] is not editable).
Hints that the property's value is an object encoded as object ID, with its type specified in the hint string. Used by the debugger.
If a property is [String], hints that the property represents a particular type (class). This allows to select a type from the create dialog. The property will store the selected type as a string. If a property is [Array], hints the editor how to show elements. The [code]hint_string[/code] must encode nested types using [code]":"[/code] and [code]"/"[/code]. If a property is [Dictionary], hints the editor how to show elements. The [code]hint_string[/code] is the same as [Array], with a [code]";"[/code] separating the key and value.

[/csharp] [/codeblocks] [b]Note:[/b] The trailing colon is required for properly detecting built-in types.
Hints that an object is too big to be sent via the debugger.
Hints that the hint string specifies valid node types for property of type [NodePath].
Hints that a [String] property is a path to a file. Editing it will show a file dialog for picking the path for the file to be saved at. The dialog has access to the project's directory. The hint string can be a set of filters with wildcards like [code]"*.png,*.jpg"[/code]. See also [member FileDialog.filters].
Hints that a [String] property is a path to a file. Editing it will show a file dialog for picking the path for the file to be saved at. The dialog has access to the entire filesystem. The hint string can be a set of filters with wildcards like [code]"*.png,*.jpg"[/code]. See also [member FileDialog.filters].
Hints that an [int] property is a pointer. Used by GDExtension.
Hints that a property is an [Array] with the stored type specified in the hint string. The hint string contains the type of the array (e.g. [code]"String"[/code]). Use the hint string format from [constant PROPERTY_HINT_TYPE_STRING] for more control over the stored type.
Hints that a property is a [Dictionary] with the stored types specified in the hint string. The hint string contains the key and value types separated by a semicolon (e.g. [code]"int;String"[/code]). Use the hint string format from [constant PROPERTY_HINT_TYPE_STRING] for more control over the stored types.
Hints that a string property is a locale code. Editing it will show a locale dialog for picking language and country.
Hints that a dictionary property is string translation map. Dictionary keys are locale codes and, values are translated strings.
Hints that a property is an instance of a [Node]-derived type, optionally specified via the hint string (e.g. [code]"Node2D"[/code]). Editing it will show a dialog for picking a node from the scene.
Hints that a quaternion property should disable the temporary euler editor.
Hints that a string property is a password, and every character is replaced with the secret character.
Hints that a [Callable] property should be displayed as a clickable button. When the button is pressed, the callable is called. The hint string specifies the button text and optionally an icon from the [code]"EditorIcons"[/code] theme type. [codeblock lang=text] "Click me!" - A button with the text "Click me!" and the default "Callable" icon. "Click me!,ColorRect" - A button with the text "Click me!" and the "ColorRect" icon. [/codeblock] [b]Note:[/b] A [Callable] cannot be properly serialized and stored in a file, so it is recommended to use [constant PROPERTY_USAGE_EDITOR] instead of [constant PROPERTY_USAGE_DEFAULT].
Hints that a property will be changed on its own after setting, such as [member AudioStreamPlayer.playing] or [member GPUParticles3D.emitting].
Hints that a boolean property will enable the feature associated with the group that it occurs in. The property will be displayed as a checkbox on the group header. Only works within a group or subgroup. By default, disabling the property hides all properties in the group. Use the optional hint string [code]"checkbox_only"[/code] to disable this behavior.
Hints that a [String] or [StringName] property is the name of an input action. This allows the selection of any action name from the Input Map in the Project Settings. The hint string may contain two options separated by commas: - If it contains [code]"show_builtin"[/code], built-in input actions are included in the selection. - If it contains [code]"loose_mode"[/code], loose mode is enabled. This allows inserting any action name even if it's not present in the input map.
Like [constant PROPERTY_HINT_FILE], but the property is stored as a raw path, not UID. That means the reference will be broken if you move the file. Consider using [constant PROPERTY_HINT_FILE] when possible.
Represents the size of the [enum PropertyHint] enum.
The property is not stored, and does not display in the editor. This is the default for non-exported properties.
The property is serialized and saved in the scene file (default for exported properties).
The property is shown in the [EditorInspector] (default for exported properties).
The property is excluded from the class reference.
The property can be checked in the [EditorInspector].
The property is checked in the [EditorInspector].
Used to group properties together in the editor. See [EditorInspector].
Used to categorize properties together in the editor.
Used to group properties together in the editor in a subgroup (under a group). See [EditorInspector].
The property is a bitfield, i.e. it contains multiple flags represented as bits.
The property does not save its state in [PackedScene].
Editing the property prompts the user for restarting the editor.
The property is a script variable. [constant PROPERTY_USAGE_SCRIPT_VARIABLE] can be used to distinguish between exported script variables from built-in variables (which don't have this usage flag). By default, [constant PROPERTY_USAGE_SCRIPT_VARIABLE] is [b]not[/b] applied to variables that are created by overriding [method Object._get_property_list] in a script.
The property value of type [Object] will be stored even if its value is [code]null[/code].
If this property is modified, all inspector fields will be refreshed.
The property is a variable of enum type, i.e. it only takes named integer constants from its associated enumeration.
If property has [code]nil[/code] as default value, its type will be [Variant].
The property is the element count of a property array, i.e. a list of groups of related properties. Properties defined with this usage also need a specific [code]class_name[/code] field in the form of [code]label,prefix[/code]. The field may also include additional comma-separated options: - [code]page_size=N[/code]: Overrides [member EditorSettings.interface/inspector/max_array_dictionary_items_per_page] for this array. - [code]add_button_text=text[/code]: The text displayed by the "Add Element" button. - [code]static[/code]: The elements can't be re-arranged. - [code]const[/code]: New elements can't be added. - [code]numbered[/code]: An index will appear next to each element. - [code]unfoldable[/code]: The array can't be folded. - [code]swap_method=method_name[/code]: The method that will be called when two elements switch places. The method should take 2 [int] parameters, which will be indices of the elements being swapped. Note that making a full-fledged property array requires boilerplate code involving [method Object._get_property_list].
When duplicating a resource with [method Resource.duplicate], and this flag is set on a property of that resource, the property should always be duplicated, regardless of the [code]subresources[/code] bool parameter.
When duplicating a resource with [method Resource.duplicate], and this flag is set on a property of that resource, the property should never be duplicated, regardless of the [code]subresources[/code] bool parameter.
The property is only shown in the editor if modern renderers are supported (the Compatibility rendering method is excluded).
The [NodePath] property will always be relative to the scene's root. Mostly useful for local resources.
Use when a resource is created on the fly, i.e. the getter will always return a different instance. [ResourceSaver] needs this information to properly save such resources.
Inserting an animation key frame of this property will automatically increment the value, allowing to easily keyframe multiple values in a row.
When this property is a [Resource] and base object is a [Node], a resource instance will be automatically created whenever the node is created in the editor.
The property is considered a basic setting and will appear even when advanced mode is disabled. Used for project settings.
The property is read-only in the [EditorInspector].
An export preset property with this flag contains confidential information and is stored separately from the rest of the export preset configuration.
Default usage (storage and editor).
Default usage but without showing the property in the editor (storage).
Flag for a normal method.
Flag for an editor method.
Flag for a constant method.
Flag for a virtual method.
Flag for a method with a variable number of arguments.
Flag for a static method.
Used internally. Allows to not dump core virtual methods (such as [method Object._notification]) to the JSON API.
Flag for a virtual method that is required. In GDScript, this flag is set for abstract functions.
Default method flags (normal).
