* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
Move the former "spawnables" functions to a dedicated
MultiplayerReplicator class.
Support custom overrides in replicator.
Spawn/despawn messages can now contain a state.
The state can be automatically encoded/decoded by passing the desired
object properties to `spawnable_config`.
You can use script properties to optimize the state representation.
2 Callables can be also specified to completely override the default
implementation for sending and receiving the spawn/despawn event.
(9 bytes overhead, and there's room for improvement here).
When using a custom implementation `spawn` and `despawn` can be called
with any Object, `send_spawn`/`send_despawn` can receive any Variant as
a state, and the path is not required.
Two new functions, `spawn` and `despawn`, convey the implementation
independent method for requesting a spawn/despawn of an Object, while
`send_spawn` and `send_despawn` represent the more low-level send event
for a Variant to be used by the custom implementations.
`PackedScene`s can be configured to be spawnable via a new
`MultiplayerAPI.spawnable_config` method.
They can be configured either to be spawned automatically when coming
from the server or to always require verification.
Another method, `MultiplayerAPI.send_spawn` lets you request a spawn on
the remote peers.
When a peer receive a spawn request:
- If it comes from the server and the scene is configured as
`SPAWN_MODE_SERVER`:
- Spawn the scene (instantiate it, add it to tree).
- Emit signal `network_spawn`.
- Else:
- Emit signal `network_spawn_request`.
In a similar way, `despawn`s are handled automatically in
`SPAWN_MODE_SERVER`.
In `SPAWN_MODE_SERVER`, when a new client connects it will also receive,
from the server all the spawned (and not yet despawned) instances.
The `Math_INF` and `Math_NAN` defines were just aliases for those
constants, so we might as well use them directly.
Some portions of the code were already using `INFINITY` directly.
* Added explicit return type to the SNAME macro.
* Add some extra SNAME usages.
* Change some ClassDB methods to use const StringName & arguments.
* Cache the Window parent in Control because it's used in
is_layout_rtl(), which is called often.
* Only enable internal processing for viewports that need it.
* Change CanvasItem::group to be a StringName because it's only used as
that.
* Added a new macro SNAME() that constructs and caches a local stringname.
* Subsequent usages use the cached version.
* Since these use a global static variable, a second refcounter of static usages need to be kept for cleanup time.
* Replaced all theme usages by this new macro.
* Replace all signal emission usages by this new macro.
* Replace all call_deferred usages by this new macro.
This is part of ongoing work to optimize GUI and the editor.
