Struct godot::prelude::Callable

pub struct Callable { /* private fields */ }

A Callable represents a function in Godot.

Usually a callable is a reference to an Object and a method name, this is a standard callable. But can also be a custom callable, which is usually created from bind, unbind, or a GDScript lambda. See Callable::is_custom.

Currently it is impossible to use bind and unbind in GDExtension, see godot-cpp#802.

Implementations

impl Callable

pub fn from_object_method<T, S>(object: &Gd<T>, method_name: S) -> Callable

where T: GodotClass, S: Into<StringName>,

Create a callable for the method object::method_name.

See also Gd::callable().

Godot equivalent: Callable(Object object, StringName method)

pub fn from_fn<F, S>(name: S, rust_function: F) -> Callable

where F: 'static + Send + Sync + FnMut(&[&Variant]) -> Result<Variant, ()>, S: Into<GString>,

Available on since_api="4.2" only.

Create a callable from a Rust function or closure.

name is used for the string representation of the closure, which helps debugging.

Callables created through multiple from_fn() calls are never equal, even if they refer to the same function. If you want to use equality, either clone an existing Callable instance, or define your own PartialEq impl with Callable::from_custom.

Example

let callable = Callable::from_fn("sum", |args: &[&Variant]| {
    let sum: i32 = args.iter().map(|arg| arg.to::<i32>()).sum();
    Ok(sum.to_variant())
});

pub fn from_custom<C>(callable: C) -> Callable

where C: RustCallable,

Available on since_api="4.2" only.

Create a highly configurable callable from Rust.

See RustCallable for requirements on the type.

pub fn invalid() -> Callable

Creates an invalid/empty object that is not able to be called.

Godot equivalent: Callable()

pub fn callv(&self, arguments: Array<Variant>) -> Variant

Calls the method represented by this callable.

Arguments passed should match the method’s signature.

• If called with more arguments than expected by the method, the extra arguments will be ignored and the call continues as normal.
• If called with fewer arguments than expected it will crash Godot, without triggering UB.
• If called with arguments of the wrong type then an error will be printed and the call will return NIL.
• If called on an invalid Callable then no error is printed, and NIL is returned.

Godot equivalent: callv

pub fn bindv(&self, arguments: Array<Variant>) -> Callable

Returns a copy of this Callable with one or more arguments bound, reading them from an array.

Godot equivalent: bindv

pub fn method_name(&self) -> Option<StringName>

Returns the name of the method represented by this callable. If the callable is a lambda function, returns the function’s name.

Known Bugs

Getting the name of a lambda errors instead of returning its name, see godot#73052.

Godot equivalent: get_method

pub fn object(&self) -> Option<Gd<Object>>

Returns the object on which this callable is called.

Returns None when this callable doesn’t have any target object to call a method on, regardless of if the method exists for that target or not.

Godot equivalent: get_object

pub fn object_id(&self) -> Option<InstanceId>

Returns the ID of this callable’s object, see also Gd::instance_id.

Returns None when this callable doesn’t have any target to call a method on.

Godot equivalent: get_object_id

pub fn hash(&self) -> u32

Returns the 32-bit hash value of this callable’s object.

Godot equivalent: hash

pub fn is_custom(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this callable is a custom callable.

Custom callables are mainly created from bind or unbind. In GDScript, lambda functions are also custom callables.

If a callable is not a custom callable, then it is considered a standard callable, this function is the opposite of Callable.is_standard.

Godot equivalent: is_custom

pub fn is_null(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this callable has no target to call the method on.

This is not the negated form of is_valid, as is_valid will return false if the callable has a target but the method does not exist.

Godot equivalent: is_null

pub fn is_valid(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the callable’s object exists and has a valid method name assigned, or is a custom callable.

Godot equivalent: is_valid

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Callable

fn clone(&self) -> Callable

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Callable

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Callable

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Drop for Callable

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl FromGodot for Callable

fn try_from_godot( via: <Callable as GodotConvert>::Via ) -> Result<Callable, ConvertError>

Performs the conversion.

fn from_godot(via: Self::Via) -> Self

⚠️ Performs the conversion.

fn try_from_variant(variant: &Variant) -> Result<Self, ConvertError>

Performs the conversion from a Variant.

fn from_variant(variant: &Variant) -> Self

⚠️ Performs the conversion from a Variant.

impl GodotConvert for Callable

type Via = Callable

The type through which Self is represented in Godot.

impl PartialEq for Callable

fn eq(&self, other: &Callable) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

fn into_godot(self) -> <Callable as GodotConvert>::Via

Converts this type to the Godot type.

fn to_variant(&self) -> Variant

Converts this type to a Variant.

impl TypeStringHint for Callable

fn type_string() -> String

Returns the representation of this type as a type string.

impl Var for Callable

fn get_property(&self) -> <Callable as GodotConvert>::Via

fn set_property(&mut self, value: <Callable as GodotConvert>::Via)

fn property_hint() -> PropertyHintInfo

impl ArrayElement for Callable
