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_funcref>` function, a reference to a function in a given object can be created, passed around and called.
Member Function Description
---------------------------
.. _class_FuncRef_call_func:
- :ref:`Variant<class_variant>` **call_func** **(** **)** vararg
Calls the referenced function previously set by :ref:`set_function<class_FuncRef_set_function>` or :ref:`@GDScript.funcref<class_@GDScript_funcref>`.
.. _class_FuncRef_set_function:
- void **set_function** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` name **)**
The name of the referenced function to call on the object, without parentheses or any parameters.
.. _class_FuncRef_set_instance:
- 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>`.
