The input to smoothstep is not actually a weight, and the decscription
of smoothstep was pretty hard to understand and easy to misinterpret.
Clarified what it means to be approximately equal.
nearest_po2 does not do what the descriptions says it does. For one,
it returns the same power if the input is a power of 2. Second, it
returns 0 if the input is negative or 0, while the smallest possible
integral power of 2 actually is 1 (2^0 = 1). Due to the implementation
and how it is used in a lot of places, it does not seem wise to change
such a core function however, and I decided it is better to alter the
description of the built-in.
Added a few examples/clarifications/edge-cases.
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
This is achieved by skipping initializer call while creating an instance
of a GDScript. This is implemented by passing -1 as an argument count
to `_new` and interpreting any value below 0 to mean that the initializer
should not be called during instantiation, because internal members of
an instance are going to be overridden afterwards.
- Renames PackedIntArray to PackedInt32Array.
- Renames PackedFloatArray to PackedFloat32Array.
- Adds PackedInt64Array and PackedFloat64Array.
- Renames Variant::REAL to Variant::FLOAT for consistency.
Packed arrays are for storing large amount of data and creating stuff like
meshes, buffers. textures, etc. Forcing them to be 64 is a huge waste of
memory. That said, many users requested the ability to have 64 bits packed
arrays for their games, so this is just an optional added type.
For Variant, the float datatype is always 64 bits, and exposed as `float`.
We still have `real_t` which is the datatype that can change from 32 to 64
bits depending on a compile flag (not entirely working right now, but that's
the idea). It affects math related datatypes and code only.
Neither Variant nor PackedArray make use of real_t, which is only intended
for math precision, so the term is removed from there to keep only float.
WARNING: Requires C++17 'guaranteed copy elision' to fix ambiguous
operator problems in Variant.
This was added for this commit (and future C++17 uses) in #36457.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
* Adds description for `ord()`
* Adds relationship description between `char()` and `ord()`
* Describes the argument of `char()` as Unicode code point instead of ASCII code
* Fixes wrong interval notation in `randi()` description
The resource path holds the original path which can be used to convert
a dictionary to instance consistently both within editor and exported projects
as the original path is automatically remapped from `gd` to `gdc` or `gde` in
exported projects.
Use `GDScriptInstance` to iterate through all members directly instead.
This is similar to how `dict2inst` works and makes the serialization
behaviour more consistent.
Tiny addition I personally found useful - this allows us to `var my_ref := weakref(null)` for nullable weak ref (with type hint!). When trying to test if `my_ref` is holding valid reference, we can just `if my_ref.get_ref():` instead of `if my_ref and my_ref.get_ref():` everywhere.
"posmod" is the integer version of "fposmod". We do not need a "mod" because of the % operator.
I changed the default arg names from "x" and "y" to "a" and "b" because they are not coordinates. I also changed pow's arg names to "base" and "exp". Also, I reorganized the code in the VS built-in funcs switch statement.
It's not necessary, but the vast majority of calls of error macros
do have an ending semicolon, so it's best to be consistent.
Most WARN_DEPRECATED calls did *not* have a semicolon, but there's
no reason for them to be treated differently.

str2var used to raise a blocking error when invalid input was passed. Now it logs an error message and
returns the input string. This solution was proposed in #13021.
Closes#11457 and #13021.
