Hey there, am I right that you mean with "user defined types" some data structures for any kind of game data? In this case you have the opportunity to extend your node [url=http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/reference/gdscript.html#classes]classes[/url] with fields and functions or use [url=http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/class_dictionary.html#class-dictionary]dictionaries[/url]. If you want yout own build in types like Rect2, Vector2, Color etc you have to dig into the c++ source code ;)

Thank you for your reply, for now I'm using inner classes as a User-defined types, but they are not so practical to implement, since I have to make an new instance of that class each time I want to use it. what I wanted was a simpler method like the structure in VB, and like you said dictionary seems helpful in this field I'll try to use it from now on.thanks again. :)
