See also Godot docs for WebSocketPeer.

Construction

This class is reference-counted. You can create a new instance using WebSocketPeer::new_gd().

Godot docs

This class represents WebSocket connection, and can be used as a WebSocket client (RFC 6455-compliant) or as a remote peer of a WebSocket server.

You can send WebSocket binary frames using put_packet, and WebSocket text frames using send (prefer text frames when interacting with text-based API). You can check the frame type of the last packet via was_string_packet.

To start a WebSocket client, first call connect_to_url, then regularly call poll (e.g. during Node process). You can query the socket state via get_ready_state, get the number of pending packets using get_available_packet_count, and retrieve them via get_packet.

extends Node

var socket = WebSocketPeer.new()

func _ready():
	socket.connect_to_url("wss://example.com")

func _process(delta):
	socket.poll()
	var state = socket.get_ready_state()
	if state == WebSocketPeer.STATE_OPEN:
		while socket.get_available_packet_count():
			print("Packet: ", socket.get_packet())
	elif state == WebSocketPeer.STATE_CLOSING:
		# Keep polling to achieve proper close.
		pass
	elif state == WebSocketPeer.STATE_CLOSED:
		var code = socket.get_close_code()
		var reason = socket.get_close_reason()
		print("WebSocket closed with code: %d, reason %s. Clean: %s" % [code, reason, code != -1])
		set_process(false) # Stop processing.

To use the peer as part of a WebSocket server refer to accept_stream and the online tutorial.

Implementations

impl WebSocketPeer

pub fn connect_to_url(&mut self, url: impl AsArg<GString>) -> Error

To set the default parameters, use connect_to_url_ex and its builder methods. See the book for detailed usage instructions. Connects to the given URL. TLS certificates will be verified against the hostname when connecting using the wss:// protocol. You can pass the optional tls_client_options parameter to customize the trusted certification authorities, or disable the common name verification. See client and client_unsafe.

Note: This method is non-blocking, and will return Error::OK before the connection is established as long as the provided parameters are valid and the peer is not in an invalid state (e.g. already connected). Regularly call poll (e.g. during Node process) and check the result of get_ready_state to know whether the connection succeeds or fails.

Note: To avoid mixed content warnings or errors in Web, you may have to use a url that starts with wss:// (secure) instead of ws://. When doing so, make sure to use the fully qualified domain name that matches the one defined in the server’s TLS certificate. Do not connect directly via the IP address for wss:// connections, as it won’t match with the TLS certificate.

pub fn connect_to_url_ex<'ex>( &'ex mut self, url: impl AsArg<GString> + 'ex, ) -> ExConnectToUrl<'ex>

Connects to the given URL. TLS certificates will be verified against the hostname when connecting using the wss:// protocol. You can pass the optional tls_client_options parameter to customize the trusted certification authorities, or disable the common name verification. See client and client_unsafe.

Note: This method is non-blocking, and will return Error::OK before the connection is established as long as the provided parameters are valid and the peer is not in an invalid state (e.g. already connected). Regularly call poll (e.g. during Node process) and check the result of get_ready_state to know whether the connection succeeds or fails.

Note: To avoid mixed content warnings or errors in Web, you may have to use a url that starts with wss:// (secure) instead of ws://. When doing so, make sure to use the fully qualified domain name that matches the one defined in the server’s TLS certificate. Do not connect directly via the IP address for wss:// connections, as it won’t match with the TLS certificate.

pub fn accept_stream( &mut self, stream: impl AsArg<Option<Gd<StreamPeer>>>, ) -> Error

Accepts a peer connection performing the HTTP handshake as a WebSocket server. The stream must be a valid TCP stream retrieved via take_connection, or a TLS stream accepted via accept_stream.

Note: Not supported in Web exports due to browsers’ restrictions.

pub fn send(&mut self, message: &PackedArray<u8>) -> Error

To set the default parameters, use send_ex and its builder methods. See the book for detailed usage instructions. Sends the given message using the desired write_mode. When sending a String, prefer using send_text.

pub fn send_ex<'ex>(&'ex mut self, message: &'ex PackedArray<u8>) -> ExSend<'ex>

Sends the given message using the desired write_mode. When sending a String, prefer using send_text.

pub fn send_text(&mut self, message: impl AsArg<GString>) -> Error

Sends the given message using WebSocket text mode. Prefer this method over put_packet when interacting with third-party text-based API (e.g. when using JSON formatted messages).

pub fn was_string_packet(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the last received packet was sent as a text payload. See [enum WriteMode].

pub fn poll(&mut self)

Updates the connection state and receive incoming packets. Call this function regularly to keep it in a clean state.

pub fn close(&mut self)

To set the default parameters, use close_ex and its builder methods. See the book for detailed usage instructions. Closes this WebSocket connection.

code is the status code for the closure (see RFC 6455 section 7.4 for a list of valid status codes). If code is negative, the connection will be closed immediately without notifying the remote peer.

reason is the human-readable reason for closing the connection. It can be any UTF-8 string that’s smaller than 123 bytes.

Note: To achieve a clean closure, you will need to keep polling until State::CLOSED is reached.

Note: The Web export might not support all status codes. Please refer to browser-specific documentation for more details.

pub fn close_ex<'ex>(&'ex mut self) -> ExClose<'ex>

Closes this WebSocket connection.

Note: Not available in the Web export.

pub fn get_current_outbound_buffered_amount(&self) -> i32

Returns the current amount of data in the outbound websocket buffer. Note: Web exports use WebSocket.bufferedAmount, while other platforms use an internal buffer.

pub fn get_ready_state(&self) -> State

Returns the ready state of the connection.

pub fn get_close_code(&self) -> i32

Returns the received WebSocket close frame status code, or -1 when the connection was not cleanly closed. Only call this method when get_ready_state returns State::CLOSED.

Methods from Deref<Target = PacketPeer>

pub fn get_var(&mut self) -> Variant

To set the default parameters, use get_var_ex and its builder methods. See the book for detailed usage instructions. Gets a Variant. If allow_objects is true, decoding objects is allowed.

Internally, this uses the same decoding mechanism as the bytes_to_var method.

Warning: Deserialized objects can contain code which gets executed. Do not use this option if the serialized object comes from untrusted sources to avoid potential security threats such as remote code execution.

pub fn get_var_ex<'ex>(&'ex mut self) -> ExGetVar<'ex>

Gets a Variant. If allow_objects is true, decoding objects is allowed.

Internally, this uses the same decoding mechanism as the bytes_to_var method.

Warning: Deserialized objects can contain code which gets executed. Do not use this option if the serialized object comes from untrusted sources to avoid potential security threats such as remote code execution.

pub fn put_var(&mut self, var: &Variant) -> Error

To set the default parameters, use put_var_ex and its builder methods. See the book for detailed usage instructions. Sends a Variant as a packet. If full_objects is true, encoding objects is allowed (and can potentially include code).

Internally, this uses the same encoding mechanism as the var_to_bytes method.

pub fn put_var_ex<'ex>(&'ex mut self, var: &'ex Variant) -> ExPutVar<'ex>

Sends a Variant as a packet. If full_objects is true, encoding objects is allowed (and can potentially include code).

Internally, this uses the same encoding mechanism as the var_to_bytes method.

pub fn connect_flags( &mut self, signal: impl AsArg<StringName>, callable: &Callable, flags: ConnectFlags, ) -> Error

pub fn get_class(&self) -> GString

Returns the object’s built-in class name, as a String. See also is_class.

Note: This method ignores class_name declarations. If this object’s script has defined a class_name, the base, built-in class name is returned instead.

pub fn is_class(&self, class: impl AsArg<GString>) -> bool

Returns true if the object inherits from the given class. See also get_class.

var sprite2d = Sprite2D.new()
sprite2d.is_class("Sprite2D") # Returns true
sprite2d.is_class("Node")     # Returns true
sprite2d.is_class("Node3D")   # Returns false

Note: This method ignores class_name declarations in the object’s script.

pub fn set(&mut self, property: impl AsArg<StringName>, value: &Variant)

Assigns value to the given property. If the property does not exist or the given value’s type doesn’t match, nothing happens.

var node = Node2D.new()
node.set("global_scale", Vector2(8, 2.5))
print(node.global_scale) # Prints (8.0, 2.5)

Note: In C#, property must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot properties. Prefer using the names exposed in the PropertyName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

pub fn get(&self, property: impl AsArg<StringName>) -> Variant

Returns the Variant value of the given property. If the property does not exist, this method returns null.

var node = Node2D.new()
node.rotation = 1.5
var a = node.get("rotation") # a is 1.5

Note: In C#, property must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot properties. Prefer using the names exposed in the PropertyName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

pub fn set_indexed( &mut self, property_path: impl AsArg<NodePath>, value: &Variant, )

Assigns a new value to the property identified by the property_path. The path should be a NodePath relative to this object, and can use the colon character (:) to access nested properties.

var node = Node2D.new()
node.set_indexed("position", Vector2(42, 0))
node.set_indexed("position:y", -10)
print(node.position) # Prints (42.0, -10.0)

Note: In C#, property_path must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot properties. Prefer using the names exposed in the PropertyName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

pub fn get_indexed(&self, property_path: impl AsArg<NodePath>) -> Variant

Gets the object’s property indexed by the given property_path. The path should be a NodePath relative to the current object and can use the colon character (:) to access nested properties.

Examples: "position:x" or "material:next_pass:blend_mode".

var node = Node2D.new()
node.position = Vector2(5, -10)
var a = node.get_indexed("position")   # a is Vector2(5, -10)
var b = node.get_indexed("position:y") # b is -10

Note: In C#, property_path must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot properties. Prefer using the names exposed in the PropertyName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

Note: This method does not support actual paths to nodes in the SceneTree, only sub-property paths. In the context of nodes, use get_node_and_resource instead.

pub fn get_property_list(&self) -> Array<Dictionary<Variant, Variant>>

Returns the object’s property list as an Array of dictionaries. Each Dictionary contains the following entries:

• name is the property’s name, as a String;

• class_name is an empty StringName, unless the property is VariantType::OBJECT and it inherits from a class;

• type is the property’s type, as an int (see [enum Variant.Type]);

• hint is how the property is meant to be edited (see [enum PropertyHint]);

• hint_string depends on the hint (see [enum PropertyHint]);

• usage is a combination of [enum PropertyUsageFlags].

Note: In GDScript, all class members are treated as properties. In C# and GDExtension, it may be necessary to explicitly mark class members as Godot properties using decorators or attributes.

pub fn get_method_list(&self) -> Array<Dictionary<Variant, Variant>>

Returns this object’s methods and their signatures as an Array of dictionaries. Each Dictionary contains the following entries:

• name is the name of the method, as a String;

• args is an Array of dictionaries representing the arguments;

• default_args is the default arguments as an Array of variants;

• flags is a combination of [enum MethodFlags];

• id is the method’s internal identifier int;

• return is the returned value, as a Dictionary;

Note: The dictionaries of args and return are formatted identically to the results of get_property_list, although not all entries are used.

pub fn property_can_revert(&self, property: impl AsArg<StringName>) -> bool

Returns true if the given property has a custom default value. Use property_get_revert to get the property’s default value.

Note: This method is used by the Inspector dock to display a revert icon. The object must implement [method _property_can_revert] to customize the default value. If [method _property_can_revert] is not implemented, this method returns false.

pub fn property_get_revert(&self, property: impl AsArg<StringName>) -> Variant

Returns the custom default value of the given property. Use property_can_revert to check if the property has a custom default value.

Note: This method is used by the Inspector dock to display a revert icon. The object must implement [method _property_get_revert] to customize the default value. If [method _property_get_revert] is not implemented, this method returns null.

pub fn set_meta(&mut self, name: impl AsArg<StringName>, value: &Variant)

Adds or changes the entry name inside the object’s metadata. The metadata value can be any Variant, although some types cannot be serialized correctly.

If value is null, the entry is removed. This is the equivalent of using remove_meta. See also has_meta and get_meta.

Note: A metadata’s name must be a valid identifier as per is_valid_identifier method.

Note: Metadata that has a name starting with an underscore (_) is considered editor-only. Editor-only metadata is not displayed in the Inspector and should not be edited, although it can still be found by this method.

pub fn remove_meta(&mut self, name: impl AsArg<StringName>)

Removes the given entry name from the object’s metadata. See also has_meta, get_meta and set_meta.

Note: A metadata’s name must be a valid identifier as per is_valid_identifier method.

Note: Metadata that has a name starting with an underscore (_) is considered editor-only. Editor-only metadata is not displayed in the Inspector and should not be edited, although it can still be found by this method.

pub fn get_meta(&self, name: impl AsArg<StringName>) -> Variant

To set the default parameters, use get_meta_ex and its builder methods. See the book for detailed usage instructions. Returns the object’s metadata value for the given entry name. If the entry does not exist, returns default. If default is null, an error is also generated.

Note: A metadata’s name must be a valid identifier as per is_valid_identifier method.

Note: Metadata that has a name starting with an underscore (_) is considered editor-only. Editor-only metadata is not displayed in the Inspector and should not be edited, although it can still be found by this method.

pub fn get_meta_ex<'ex>( &'ex self, name: impl AsArg<StringName> + 'ex, ) -> ExGetMeta<'ex>

Returns the object’s metadata value for the given entry name. If the entry does not exist, returns default. If default is null, an error is also generated.

Note: A metadata’s name must be a valid identifier as per is_valid_identifier method.

Note: Metadata that has a name starting with an underscore (_) is considered editor-only. Editor-only metadata is not displayed in the Inspector and should not be edited, although it can still be found by this method.

pub fn has_meta(&self, name: impl AsArg<StringName>) -> bool

Returns true if a metadata entry is found with the given name. See also get_meta, set_meta and remove_meta.

Note: A metadata’s name must be a valid identifier as per is_valid_identifier method.

pub fn get_meta_list(&self) -> Array<StringName>

Returns the object’s metadata entry names as an Array of StringNames.

pub fn add_user_signal(&mut self, signal: impl AsArg<GString>)

To set the default parameters, use add_user_signal_ex and its builder methods. See the book for detailed usage instructions. Adds a user-defined signal named signal. Optional arguments for the signal can be added as an Array of dictionaries, each defining a name String and a type int (see [enum Variant.Type]). See also has_user_signal and remove_user_signal.

add_user_signal("hurt", [
	{ "name": "damage", "type": TYPE_INT },
	{ "name": "source", "type": TYPE_OBJECT }
])

pub fn add_user_signal_ex<'ex>( &'ex mut self, signal: impl AsArg<GString> + 'ex, ) -> ExAddUserSignal<'ex>

Adds a user-defined signal named signal. Optional arguments for the signal can be added as an Array of dictionaries, each defining a name String and a type int (see [enum Variant.Type]). See also has_user_signal and remove_user_signal.

add_user_signal("hurt", [
	{ "name": "damage", "type": TYPE_INT },
	{ "name": "source", "type": TYPE_OBJECT }
])

pub fn has_user_signal(&self, signal: impl AsArg<StringName>) -> bool

Returns true if the given user-defined signal name exists. Only signals added with add_user_signal are included. See also remove_user_signal.

pub fn remove_user_signal(&mut self, signal: impl AsArg<StringName>)

Removes the given user signal signal from the object. See also add_user_signal and has_user_signal.

pub fn emit_signal( &mut self, signal: impl AsArg<StringName>, varargs: &[Variant], ) -> Error

Emits the given signal by name. The signal must exist, so it should be a built-in signal of this class or one of its inherited classes, or a user-defined signal (see add_user_signal). This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters can be passed as a comma separated list.

Returns Error::ERR_UNAVAILABLE if signal does not exist or the parameters are invalid.

emit_signal("hit", "sword", 100)
emit_signal("game_over")

Note: In C#, signal must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot signals. Prefer using the names exposed in the SignalName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

Panics

This is a varcall method, meaning parameters and return values are passed as Variant. It can detect call failures and will panic in such a case.

pub fn try_emit_signal( &mut self, signal: impl AsArg<StringName>, varargs: &[Variant], ) -> Result<Error, CallError>

Return type

This is a varcall method, meaning parameters and return values are passed as Variant. It can detect call failures and will return Err in such a case.

pub fn call( &mut self, method: impl AsArg<StringName>, varargs: &[Variant], ) -> Variant

Calls the method on the object and returns the result. This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters can be passed as a comma separated list.

var node = Node3D.new()
node.call("rotate", Vector3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0), 1.571)

Note: In C#, method must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot methods. Prefer using the names exposed in the MethodName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

Panics

This is a varcall method, meaning parameters and return values are passed as Variant. It can detect call failures and will panic in such a case.

pub fn try_call( &mut self, method: impl AsArg<StringName>, varargs: &[Variant], ) -> Result<Variant, CallError>

Return type

This is a varcall method, meaning parameters and return values are passed as Variant. It can detect call failures and will return Err in such a case.

pub fn call_deferred( &mut self, method: impl AsArg<StringName>, varargs: &[Variant], ) -> Variant

Calls the method on the object during idle time. Always returns null, not the method’s result.

Idle time happens mainly at the end of process and physics frames. In it, deferred calls will be run until there are none left, which means you can defer calls from other deferred calls and they’ll still be run in the current idle time cycle. This means you should not call a method deferred from itself (or from a method called by it), as this causes infinite recursion the same way as if you had called the method directly.

This method supports a variable number of arguments, so parameters can be passed as a comma separated list.

var node = Node3D.new()
node.call_deferred("rotate", Vector3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0), 1.571)

For methods that are deferred from the same thread, the order of execution at idle time is identical to the order in which call_deferred was called.

See also call_deferred.

Note: In C#, method must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot methods. Prefer using the names exposed in the MethodName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

Note: If you’re looking to delay the function call by a frame, refer to the SceneTree.process_frame and SceneTree.physics_frame signals.

var node = Node3D.new()
# Make a Callable and bind the arguments to the node's rotate() call.
var callable = node.rotate.bind(Vector3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0), 1.571)
# Connect the callable to the process_frame signal, so it gets called in the next process frame.
# CONNECT_ONE_SHOT makes sure it only gets called once instead of every frame.
get_tree().process_frame.connect(callable, CONNECT_ONE_SHOT)

Panics

This is a varcall method, meaning parameters and return values are passed as Variant. It can detect call failures and will panic in such a case.

pub fn try_call_deferred( &mut self, method: impl AsArg<StringName>, varargs: &[Variant], ) -> Result<Variant, CallError>

Return type

This is a varcall method, meaning parameters and return values are passed as Variant. It can detect call failures and will return Err in such a case.

pub fn set_deferred( &mut self, property: impl AsArg<StringName>, value: &Variant, )

Assigns value to the given property, at the end of the current frame. This is equivalent to calling set through call_deferred.

var node = Node2D.new()
add_child(node)

node.rotation = 1.5
node.set_deferred("rotation", 3.0)
print(node.rotation) # Prints 1.5

await get_tree().process_frame
print(node.rotation) # Prints 3.0

Note: In C#, property must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot properties. Prefer using the names exposed in the PropertyName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

pub fn callv( &mut self, method: impl AsArg<StringName>, arg_array: &AnyArray, ) -> Variant

Calls the method on the object and returns the result. Unlike call, this method expects all parameters to be contained inside arg_array.

var node = Node3D.new()
node.callv("rotate", [Vector3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0), 1.571])

Note: In C#, method must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot methods. Prefer using the names exposed in the MethodName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

Returns true if the given signal name exists in the object.

Note: In C#, signal must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot signals. Prefer using the names exposed in the SignalName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

pub fn get_signal_list(&self) -> Array<Dictionary<Variant, Variant>>

Returns the list of existing signals as an Array of dictionaries.

Note: Due to the implementation, each Dictionary is formatted very similarly to the returned values of get_method_list.

pub fn get_signal_connection_list( &self, signal: impl AsArg<StringName>, ) -> Array<Dictionary<Variant, Variant>>

Returns an Array of connections for the given signal name. Each connection is represented as a Dictionary that contains three entries:

pub fn is_connected( &self, signal: impl AsArg<StringName>, callable: &Callable, ) -> bool

Returns true if a connection exists between the given signal name and callable.

Note: In C#, signal must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot signals. Prefer using the names exposed in the SignalName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

pub fn has_connections(&self, signal: impl AsArg<StringName>) -> bool

Returns true if any connection exists on the given signal name.

Note: In C#, signal must be in snake_case when referring to built-in Godot methods. Prefer using the names exposed in the SignalName class to avoid allocating a new StringName on each call.

To set the default parameters, use tr_ex and its builder methods. See the book for detailed usage instructions. Translates a message, using the translation catalogs configured in the Project Settings. Further context can be specified to help with the translation. Note that most Control nodes automatically translate their strings, so this method is mostly useful for formatted strings or custom drawn text.

If can_translate_messages is false, or no translation is available, this method returns the message without changes. See set_message_translation.

For detailed examples, see Internationalizing games.

Note: This method can’t be used without an Object instance, as it requires the can_translate_messages method. To translate strings in a static context, use translate.

pub fn tr_ex<'ex>(&'ex self, message: impl AsArg<StringName> + 'ex) -> ExTr<'ex>

Translates a message, using the translation catalogs configured in the Project Settings. Further context can be specified to help with the translation. Note that most Control nodes automatically translate their strings, so this method is mostly useful for formatted strings or custom drawn text.

If can_translate_messages is false, or no translation is available, this method returns the message without changes. See set_message_translation.

pub fn tr_n( &self, message: impl AsArg<StringName>, plural_message: impl AsArg<StringName>, n: i32, ) -> GString

To set the default parameters, use tr_n_ex and its builder methods. See the book for detailed usage instructions. Translates a message or plural_message, using the translation catalogs configured in the Project Settings. Further context can be specified to help with the translation.

If can_translate_messages is false, or no translation is available, this method returns message or plural_message, without changes. See set_message_translation.

The n is the number, or amount, of the message’s subject. It is used by the translation system to fetch the correct plural form for the current language.

For detailed examples, see Localization using gettext.

Note: Negative and float numbers may not properly apply to some countable subjects. It’s recommended to handle these cases with tr.

pub fn tr_n_ex<'ex>( &'ex self, message: impl AsArg<StringName> + 'ex, plural_message: impl AsArg<StringName> + 'ex, n: i32, ) -> ExTrN<'ex>

pub fn get_translation_domain(&self) -> StringName

Returns the name of the translation domain used by tr and tr_n. See also TranslationServer.

pub fn set_translation_domain(&mut self, domain: impl AsArg<StringName>)

Sets the name of the translation domain used by tr and tr_n. See also TranslationServer.

pub fn is_queued_for_deletion(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the queue_free method was called for the object.

pub fn cancel_free(&mut self)

If this method is called during ObjectNotification::PREDELETE, this object will reject being freed and will remain allocated. This is mostly an internal function used for error handling to avoid the user from freeing objects when they are not intended to.

pub fn notify(&mut self, what: ObjectNotification)

⚠️ Sends a Godot notification to all classes inherited by the object.

Triggers calls to on_notification(), and depending on the notification, also to Godot’s lifecycle callbacks such as ready().

Starts from the highest ancestor (the Object class) and goes down the hierarchy. See also Godot docs for Object::notification().

Panics

If you call this method on a user-defined object while holding a GdRef or GdMut guard on the instance, you will encounter a panic. The reason is that the receiving virtual method on_notification() acquires a GdMut lock dynamically, which must be exclusive.

pub fn notify_reversed(&mut self, what: ObjectNotification)

⚠️ Like Self::notify(), but starts at the most-derived class and goes up the hierarchy.

See docs of that method, including the panics.
