Function Pointers / Delegates in GDScript?

Molki1491

Hello, is there any way to save methods in variables like // Save the state 01 method as delegate var delegate = state01 // Is called in a loop func execute():   // Invoke the delegate   delegate() func state01():   // Do something   // Set delegate to other method   delegate = state02 func state02():   // Do something else

I never tried it but you can probably use the [tt]FuncRef[/tt] object for that, see the [url=http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/class_funcref.html]class reference[/url].

another option is to use the function "call"from your example:var delegate = "state01"func state01():  #do something  delegate = "state02"func state02(): ...func state03(): ...and so onfunc execute():    call(delegate)

Thanks guys I used the FuncRef object and that works very well.If you know what you are looking for I recommend this link to the documentation:http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/reference/gdscript.htmlAs for the Call method I haven't tried it jet but sure will.Thanks again
