Struct Signal

pub struct Signal { /* private fields */ }

A Signal represents a signal of an Object instance in Godot.

Signals are composed of a reference to an Object and the name of the signal on this object.

Implementations

impl Signal

pub fn from_object_signal<T, S>(object: &Gd<T>, signal_name: S) -> Signal

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

Create a signal for the signal object::signal_name.

Godot equivalent: Signal(Object object, StringName signal)

pub fn invalid() -> Signal

Creates an invalid/empty signal that cannot be called.

Godot equivalent: Signal()

pub fn connect(&self, callable: Callable, flags: i64) -> Error

Connects this signal to the specified callable.

Optional flags can be also added to configure the connection’s behavior (see ConnectFlags constants). You can provide additional arguments to the connected callable by using Callable::bind.

A signal can only be connected once to the same Callable. If the signal is already connected, returns Error::ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER and pushes an error message, unless the signal is connected with ConnectFlags::REFERENCE_COUNTED. To prevent this, use Self::is_connected first to check for existing connections.

pub fn disconnect(&self, callable: Callable)

Disconnects this signal from the specified Callable.

If the connection does not exist, generates an error. Use Self::is_connected to make sure that the connection exists.

pub fn emit(&self, varargs: &[Variant])

Emits this signal.

All Callables connected to this signal will be triggered.

pub fn connections(&self) -> Array<Dictionary>

Returns an Array of connections for this signal.

Each connection is represented as a Dictionary that contains three entries:

• signal is a reference to this Signal;
• callable is a reference to the connected Callable;
• flags is a combination of ConnectFlags.

Godot equivalent: get_connections

pub fn name(&self) -> StringName

Returns the name of the signal.

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

Returns the object to which this signal belongs.

Returns None when this signal doesn’t have any object.

Godot equivalent: get_object

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

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

Returns None when this signal doesn’t have any object.

Godot equivalent: get_object_id

pub fn is_connected(&self, callable: Callable) -> bool

Returns true if the specified Callable is connected to this signal.

pub fn is_null(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the signal’s name does not exist in its object, or the object is not valid.

Trait Implementations

impl ArrayElement for Signal

fn debug_validate_elements(_array: &Array<Self>) -> Result<(), ConvertError>

impl Clone for Signal

fn clone(&self) -> Signal

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Signal

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Signal

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Drop for Signal

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl FromGodot for Signal

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

Converts the Godot representation to this type, returning Err on failure.

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

⚠️ Converts the Godot representation to this type.

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

Performs the conversion from a Variant, returning Err on failure.

fn from_variant(variant: &Variant) -> Self

⚠️ Performs the conversion from a Variant.

impl GodotConvert for Signal

type Via = Signal

The type through which Self is represented in Godot.

impl PartialEq for Signal

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

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

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

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

impl ToGodot for Signal

type ToVia<'v> = <Signal as GodotConvert>::Via

Target type of to_godot(), which differs from Via for pass-by-reference types.

fn to_godot(&self) -> <Signal as ToGodot>::ToVia<'_>

Converts this type to the Godot type by reference, usually by cloning.

fn to_variant(&self) -> Variant

Converts this type to a Variant.

impl Var for Signal

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

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

fn var_hint() -> PropertyHintInfo

Specific property hints, only override if they deviate from GodotType::property_info, e.g. for enums/newtypes.
