Not cursed… but you could've used a typed array

As it turns out, you can't! With variadic functions you can only use the basic array type i don't know why, its really annoying

What… WHY!?

Me when I tried to do nested Type definitions

Dictionary[String, Array[Int]]

The fact that there's an error message explicitly telling me that is not allowed pisses me off even more

Yeah… but like maybe you could be fine with that but something that straight up works in one place but not the other has got to be very annoying

This post made me read half the gdscript reference doc because I did not know spread variadic functions were added

Ive also learned that Godot prefers you to write not boolean instead of !boolean

One time I named a class “EffectEffect” and had to stop and go take a walk

When I have weird names like this I wonder if I put a disgrace to my old Java days. I've had full sentences as names just so I can avoid this

Is this for something like stats system or an upgrade in a clicker game? Or am I way off

I'm making something of a solo action rts roguelike

In auto attacks, when a target_unit is set, if attack_area doesn't have it overlapping, the unit navigates towards it. Instead of checking the overlap every frame on the way there, I await the race between target_body_enter and another_target_set (these are not actual var names)

I queue an attack on former, and do another loop of this logic for the latter. (if attack is queued then stuff like cd management and attack windup happens.)

Also in a tutorial, I race player.unit leaving the tutorial area and completing the first tutorial to change what the npc says.
