EDIT: This was supposed to be a question, I forgot to mark it as such.
I was looking at the api docs for the startswith() method, but I didn't see any reference to it...I did see "ends_with()"...so my question is...
Is there a "String.startswith()" method for GDscript? I'm certain there would be. I'm sure I'm looking in the right place, but maybe I need to look at all the methods and forget using that one.???
BTW I have not opened Godot to check..everything I am doing ATM for Tiny RPG is theoretical....my wife would prefer if I didn't start any development on her PC.. :)
it may take a while before I can respond to any answers, I am still waiting on my new computer.
