It’s not a thing and I totally agree it should exist, there’s a proposal for it on GitHub.
If you want to handle different types, the right way of doing it is giving your parameter a generic type then checking what it is in the function.
func _ready():
handle_stuff(10)
handle_stuff("Hello")
func handle_stuff(x: Variant):
if x is int:
print("%d is an integer" % x)
elif x is String:
print("%s is a string" % x)
This prints 10 is an integer and Hello is a string.
If you really, really need to have a variable amount of arguments in your function, you can pass an array. It’s pretty inefficient but you can get away with it.
func handle_stuff(stuff: Array):
for x: Variant in stuff:
if x is int:
print("%d is an integer" % x)
elif x is String:
print("%s is a string" % x)
Then you can pass [10, 20, 30] into it or something. It’s a useful trick.
I get people that make tutorials for “content” even if they suck at their job, but I CANNOT get over video tutorials where someone gets completely lost and doesn’t cut it out of the video.
Would it kill you to edit that out and stop wasting my time?!
