C# API differences to GDScript
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
This is a (incomplete) list of API differences between C# and GDScript.
|
|
|
|
General differences
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
As explained in the :ref:`doc_c_sharp`, C# generally uses ``PascalCase`` instead
|
|
of the ``snake_case`` used in GDScript and C++.
|
|
|
|
Global scope
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Global functions and some constants had to be moved to classes, since C#
|
|
does not allow declaring them in namespaces.
|
|
Most global constants were moved to their own enums.
|
|
|
|
Constants
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Global constants were moved to their own enums.
|
|
For example, ``ERR_*`` constants were moved to the ``Error`` enum.
|
|
|
|
Special cases:
|
|
|
|
======================= ===========================================================
|
|
GDScript C#
|
|
======================= ===========================================================
|
|
``SPKEY`` ``GD.SpKey``
|
|
``TYPE_*`` ``Variant.Type`` enum
|
|
``OP_*`` ``Variant.Operator`` enum
|
|
======================= ===========================================================
|
|
|
|
Math functions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Math global functions, like ``abs``, ``acos``, ``asin``, ``atan`` and ``atan2``, are
|
|
located under ``Mathf`` as ``Abs``, ``Acos``, ``Asin``, ``Atan`` and ``Atan2``.
|
|
The ``PI`` constant can be found as ``Mathf.Pi``.
|
|
|
|
Random functions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Random global functions, like ``rand_range`` and ``rand_seed``, are located under ``GD``.
|
|
Example: ``GD.RandRange`` and ``GD.RandSeed``.
|
|
|
|
Other functions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Many other global functions like ``print`` and ``var2str`` are located under ``GD``.
|
|
Example: ``GD.Print`` and ``GD.Var2Str``.
|
|
|
|
Exceptions:
|
|
|
|
=========================== =======================================================
|
|
GDScript C#
|
|
=========================== =======================================================
|
|
``weakref(obj)`` ``Object.WeakRef(obj)``
|
|
``is_instance_valid(obj)`` ``Object.IsInstanceValid(obj)``
|
|
=========================== =======================================================
|
|
|
|
Tips
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it can be useful to use the ``using static`` directive. This directive allows
|
|
to access the members and nested types of a class without specifying the class name.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: csharp
|
|
|
|
using static Godot.GD;
|
|
|
|
public class Test
|
|
{
|
|
static Test()
|
|
{
|
|
Print("Hello"); // Instead of GD.Print("Hello");
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Export keyword
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Use the ``[Export]`` attribute instead of the GDScript ``export`` keyword.
|
|
This attribute can also be provided with optional :ref:`PropertyHint<enum_@GlobalScope_PropertyHint>` and ``hintString`` parameters.
|
|
Default values can be set by assigning a value.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: csharp
|
|
|
|
using Godot;
|
|
|
|
public class MyNode : Node
|
|
{
|
|
[Export]
|
|
private NodePath _nodePath;
|
|
|
|
[Export]
|
|
private string _name = "default";
|
|
|
|
[Export(PropertyHint.Range, "0,100000,1000,or_greater")]
|
|
private int _income;
|
|
|
|
[Export(PropertyHint.File, "*.png,*.jpg")]
|
|
private string _icon;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Signal keyword
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Use the ``[Signal]`` attribute to declare a signal instead of the GDScript ``signal`` keyword.
|
|
This attribute should be used on a `delegate`, whose name signature will be used to define the signal.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: csharp
|
|
|
|
[Signal]
|
|
delegate void MySignal(string willSendsAString);
|
|
|
|
See also: :ref:`doc_c_sharp_signals`.
|
|
|
|
`onready` keyword
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
GDScript has the ability to defer the initialization of a member variable until the ready function
|
|
is called with `onready` (cf. :ref:`doc_gdscript_onready_keyword`).
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: gdscript
|
|
|
|
onready var my_label = get_node("MyLabel")
|
|
|
|
However C# does not have this ability. To achieve the same effect you need to do this.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: csharp
|
|
|
|
private Label _myLabel;
|
|
|
|
public override void _Ready()
|
|
{
|
|
_myLabel = GetNode<Label>("MyLabel");
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Singletons
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Singletons are available as static classes rather than using the singleton pattern.
|
|
This is to make code less verbose than it would be with an ``Instance`` property.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: csharp
|
|
|
|
Input.IsActionPressed("ui_down")
|
|
|
|
However, in some very rare cases this is not enough. For example, you may want
|
|
to access a member from the base class ``Godot.Object``, like ``Connect``.
|
|
For such use cases we provide a static property named ``Singleton`` that returns
|
|
the singleton instance. The type of this instance is ``Godot.Object``.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: csharp
|
|
|
|
Input.Singleton.Connect("joy_connection_changed", this, nameof(Input_JoyConnectionChanged));
|
|
|
|
String
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Use ``System.String`` (``string``). Most of Godot's String methods are
|
|
provided by the ``StringExtensions`` class as extension methods.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: csharp
|
|
|
|
string upper = "I LIKE SALAD FORKS";
|
|
string lower = upper.ToLower();
|
|
|
|
There are a few differences, though:
|
|
|
|
* ``erase``: Strings are immutable in C#, so we cannot modify the string
|
|
passed to the extension method. For this reason, ``Erase`` was added as an
|
|
extension method of ``StringBuilder`` instead of string.
|
|
Alternatively, you can use ``string.Remove``.
|
|
* ``IsSubsequenceOf``/``IsSubsequenceOfi``: An additional method is provided,
|
|
which is an overload of ``IsSubsequenceOf``, allowing you to explicitly specify
|
|
case sensitivity:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: csharp
|
|
|
|
str.IsSubsequenceOf("ok"); // Case sensitive
|
|
str.IsSubsequenceOf("ok", true); // Case sensitive
|
|
str.IsSubsequenceOfi("ok"); // Case insensitive
|
|
str.IsSubsequenceOf("ok", false); // Case insensitive
|
|
|
|
* ``Match``/``Matchn``/``ExprMatch``: An additional method is provided besides
|
|
``Match`` and ``Matchn``, which allows you to explicitly specify case sensitivity:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: csharp
|
|
|
|
str.Match("*.txt"); // Case sensitive
|
|
str.ExprMatch("*.txt", true); // Case sensitive
|
|
str.Matchn("*.txt"); // Case insensitive
|
|
str.ExprMatch("*.txt", false); // Case insensitive
|
|
|
|
Basis
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Structs cannot have parameterless constructors in C#. Therefore, ``new Basis()``
|
|
initializes all primitive members to their default value. Use ``Basis.Identity``
|
|
for the equivalent of ``Basis()`` in GDScript and C++.
|
|
|
|
The following method was converted to a property with a different name:
|
|
|
|
==================== ==============================================================
|
|
GDScript C#
|
|
==================== ==============================================================
|
|
``get_scale()`` ``Scale``
|
|
==================== ==============================================================
|
|
|
|
Transform2D
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Structs cannot have parameterless constructors in C#. Therefore, ``new Transform2D()``
|
|
initializes all primitive members to their default value.
|
|
Please use ``Transform2D.Identity`` for the equivalent of ``Transform2D()`` in GDScript and C++.
|
|
|
|
The following methods were converted to properties with their respective names changed:
|
|
|
|
==================== ==============================================================
|
|
GDScript C#
|
|
==================== ==============================================================
|
|
``get_rotation()`` ``Rotation``
|
|
``get_scale()`` ``Scale``
|
|
==================== ==============================================================
|
|
|
|
Plane
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The following method was converted to a property with a *slightly* different name:
|
|
|
|
================ ==================================================================
|
|
GDScript C#
|
|
================ ==================================================================
|
|
``center()`` ``Center``
|
|
================ ==================================================================
|
|
|
|
Rect2
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The following field was converted to a property with a *slightly* different name:
|
|
|
|
================ ==================================================================
|
|
GDScript C#
|
|
================ ==================================================================
|
|
``end`` ``End``
|
|
================ ==================================================================
|
|
|
|
The following method was converted to a property with a different name:
|
|
|
|
================ ==================================================================
|
|
GDScript C#
|
|
================ ==================================================================
|
|
``get_area()`` ``Area``
|
|
================ ==================================================================
|
|
|
|
Quat
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Structs cannot have parameterless constructors in C#. Therefore, ``new Quat()``
|
|
initializes all primitive members to their default value.
|
|
Please use ``Quat.Identity`` for the equivalent of ``Quat()`` in GDScript and C++.
|
|
|
|
The following methods were converted to a property with a different name:
|
|
|
|
===================== =============================================================
|
|
GDScript C#
|
|
===================== =============================================================
|
|
``length()`` ``Length``
|
|
``length_squared()`` ``LengthSquared``
|
|
===================== =============================================================
|
|
|
|
Array
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
*This is temporary. PoolArrays will need their own types to be used the way they are meant to.*
|
|
|
|
===================== ==============================================================
|
|
GDScript C#
|
|
===================== ==============================================================
|
|
``Array`` ``Godot.Collections.Array``
|
|
``PoolIntArray`` ``int[]``
|
|
``PoolByteArray`` ``byte[]``
|
|
``PoolFloatArray`` ``float[]``
|
|
``PoolStringArray`` ``String[]``
|
|
``PoolColorArray`` ``Color[]``
|
|
``PoolVector2Array`` ``Vector2[]``
|
|
``PoolVector3Array`` ``Vector3[]``
|
|
===================== ==============================================================
|
|
|
|
``Godot.Collections.Array<T>`` is a type-safe wrapper around ``Godot.Collections.Array``.
|
|
Use the ``Godot.Collections.Array<T>(Godot.Collections.Array)`` constructor to create one.
|
|
|
|
Dictionary
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Use ``Godot.Collections.Dictionary``.
|
|
|
|
``Godot.Collections.Dictionary<T>`` is a type-safe wrapper around ``Godot.Collections.Dictionary``.
|
|
Use the ``Godot.Collections.Dictionary<T>(Godot.Collections.Dictionary)`` constructor to create one.
|
|
|
|
Variant
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
``System.Object`` (``object``) is used instead of ``Variant``.
|
|
|
|
Communicating with other scripting languages
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is explained extensively in :ref:`doc_cross_language_scripting`.
|
|
|
|
Yield
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Something similar to GDScript's ``yield`` with a single parameter can be achieved with
|
|
C#'s `yield keyword <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/yield>`_.
|
|
|
|
The equivalent of yield on signal can be achieved with async/await and ``Godot.Object.ToSignal``.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: csharp
|
|
|
|
await ToSignal(timer, "timeout");
|
|
GD.Print("After timeout");
|
|
|
|
Other differences
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
``preload``, as it works in GDScript, is not available in C#.
|
|
Use ``GD.Load`` or ``ResourceLoader.Load`` instead.
|
|
|
|
