Asserts that the [code]condition[/code] is [code]true[/code]. If the [code]condition[/code] is [code]false[/code], an error is generated. When running from the editor, the running project will also be paused until you resume it. This can be used as a stronger form of [method push_error] for reporting errors to project developers or add-on users.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] For performance reasons, the code inside [method assert] is only executed in debug builds or when running the project from the editor. Don't include code that has side effects in an [method assert] call. Otherwise, the project will behave differently when exported in release mode.
|
|
The optional [code]message[/code] argument, if given, is shown in addition to the generic "Assertion failed" message. You can use this to provide additional details about why the assertion failed.
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
# Imagine we always want speed to be between 0 and 20.
|
|
var speed = -10
|
|
assert(speed < 20) # True, the program will continue
|
|
assert(speed >= 0) # False, the program will stop
|
|
assert(speed >= 0 and speed < 20) # You can also combine the two conditional statements in one check
|
|
assert(speed < 20, "speed = %f, but the speed limit is 20" % speed) # Show a message with clarifying details

Here, approximately equal means that [code]a[/code] and [code]b[/code] 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.

Linearly interpolates between two values by a normalized value. This is the opposite of [method inverse_lerp].

If the [code]from[/code] and [code]to[/code] arguments are of type [int] or [float], the return value is a [float].

If both are of the same vector type ([Vector2], [Vector3] or [Color]), the return value will be of the same type ([code]lerp[/code] then calls the vector type's [code]lerp[/code] method).

Loads a resource from the filesystem located at [code]path[/code]. The resource is loaded on the method call (unless it's referenced already elsewhere, e.g. in another script or in the scene), which might cause slight delay, especially when loading scenes. To avoid unnecessary delays when loading something multiple times, either store the resource in a variable or use [method preload].
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Resource paths can be obtained by right-clicking on a resource in the FileSystem dock and choosing "Copy Path" or by dragging the file from the FileSystem dock into the script.
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
# Load a scene called main located in the root of the project directory and cache it in a variable.
|
|
var main = load("res://main.tscn") # main will contain a PackedScene resource.
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
[b]Important:[/b] The path must be absolute, a local path will just return [code]null[/code].
|
|
This method is a simplified version of [method ResourceLoader.load], which can be used for more advanced scenarios.

Parse JSON text to a Variant. (Use [method typeof] to check if the Variant's type is what you expect.)
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] The JSON specification does not define integer or float types, but only a [i]number[/i] type. Therefore, parsing a JSON text will convert all numerical values to [float] types.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] JSON objects do not preserve key order like Godot dictionaries, thus, you should not rely on keys being in a certain order if a dictionary is constructed from JSON. In contrast, JSON arrays retain the order of their elements:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var p = JSON.parse('["hello", "world", "!"]')
|

if typeof(p.result) == TYPE_ARRAY:

print(p.result[0]) # Prints "hello"

push_error("Unexpected results.")

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.
