FuncRef
=======
**Inherits:** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`
Reference to a function in an object.
.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group
Description
-----------
In GDScript, functions are not *first-class objects*. This means it is impossible to store them directly as variables, return them from another function, or pass them as arguments.
However, by creating a **FuncRef** using the :ref:`@GDScript.funcref<class_@GDScript_method_funcref>` function, a reference to a function in a given object can be created, passed around and called.

.. _class_FuncRef_property_function:
.. rst-class:: classref-property
:ref:`String<class_String>` **function** = ``""``
.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget
- void **set_function** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` value **)**
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **get_function** **(** **)**
The name of the referenced function.

Method Descriptions
-------------------
.. _class_FuncRef_method_call_func:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` **call_func** **(** ... **)** |vararg|
Calls the referenced function previously set in :ref:`function<class_FuncRef_property_function>` or :ref:`@GDScript.funcref<class_@GDScript_method_funcref>`.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_FuncRef_method_call_funcv:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` **call_funcv** **(** :ref:`Array<class_Array>` arg_array **)**
Calls the referenced function previously set in :ref:`function<class_FuncRef_property_function>` or :ref:`@GDScript.funcref<class_@GDScript_method_funcref>`. Contrarily to :ref:`call_func<class_FuncRef_method_call_func>`, this method does not support a variable number of arguments but expects all parameters to be passed via a single :ref:`Array<class_Array>`.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_FuncRef_method_is_valid:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_valid** **(** **)** |const|
Returns whether the object still exists and has the function assigned.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_FuncRef_method_set_instance:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
void **set_instance** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` instance **)**
The object containing the referenced function. This object must be of a type actually inheriting from :ref:`Object<class_Object>`, not a built-in type such as :ref:`int<class_int>`, :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` or :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>`.
.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
