|
|
Base class for all non built-in types.
|
|
</brief_description>
|
|
<description>
|
|
Every class which is not a built-in type inherits from this class.
|
|
You can construct Objects from scripting languages, using [code]Object.new()[/code] in GDScript, [code]new Object[/code] in C#, or the "Construct Object" node in VisualScript.
|
|
Objects do not manage memory. If a class inherits from Object, you will have to delete instances of it manually. To do so, call the [method free] method from your script or delete the instance from C++.
|
|
Some classes that extend Object add memory management. This is the case of [Reference], which counts references and deletes itself automatically when no longer referenced. [Node], another fundamental type, deletes all its children when freed from memory.
|
|
Objects export properties, which are mainly useful for storage and editing, but not really so much in programming. Properties are exported in [method _get_property_list] and handled in [method _get] and [method _set]. However, scripting languages and C++ have simpler means to export them.
|
|
Objects also receive notifications. Notifications are a simple way to notify the object about simple events, so they can all be handled together. See [method _notification].

A [code]signal[/code] can only be connected once to a [code]method[/code]. It will throw an error if already connected. To avoid this, first, use [method is_connected] to check for existing connections.
|

If the [code]target[/code] is destroyed in the game's lifecycle, the connection will be lost.
