Optional Parameters Are More Powerful Than You Think | Godot Engine Tricks 

What Godot things would you like us to cover?

"This week, instead of 10+ Tricks We Wish We Knew Already, here's one astoundingly useful trick."

This.. . just blew my mind. Amazing tip!!

I just watched all you last vidéos and every single one made me go "YOU CAN DO THAT ??". Thank you for your vidéos, I learn more on your channel than anywhere else. The particles tricks in particular will be helpful as I'm gonna go in polishing mode to release the démo of my game (hopefully) next month. ^^ (I say hopefully because the game trailer on my channel says 2020 and uh...)

Nice tricks! It's almost like cooking scrambled eggs. At first, your think like you know how to do it but then you suddenly find someone who knows how to use optional parameters and override methods which makes your code much cleaner and sophisticated!

Didn't know that semicolon one, thanks for all the tips!

oh, i didn't know i can use functions in optional parameters. nice, thx!

This is super useful! More of these please :D

Up until now I didn't know this awesome powerful stuff, Thanks for the video

Tip : I found out that yesterday, you gotta talk about it : export variables in catégories that you can fold / unfold. Like in the inspector. There's 2 ways of doing it and it's kinda advanced so I won't détail here but you have to override the Godot set_poperties method with your own exported variable. Tutorials on that exist on Ytb and stackoverflow but are hard to find and most people who don't know about it will tell you it's impossible.

The Semi-colon thing blew my mind. Never knew that.

Looks like a professional tips for gdscript, that also is a unpredictable language, I enjoy to see the awesome things that godot can do for a game dev.

Golden nugget yet again :D

Kind of the opposite of the semicolon thing - could you explain how using the \ character at the end of lines works? I saw it in some code, but couldn't find documentation so I'm not entirely sure how it's used. All I know its that it's something about\ being able to cut lines in the middle of expressions, but that's something you can normally do if they're surrounded with ()? so what gives? 🤔

great

yes

What's worth mentioning here is that you should never, ever put optional arguments in front of required arguments when defining a function

but when i add the second arg, i have to call it somewhere else?

👍

Good tips, except for the last one.

GDScript supports semicolons!?!? 🤯
