where to find list of all 'types' in gdscript?

on the first youtube

from 'gdquest'

  • it says there's a 'type' call 'tilemap'

where to find list of all 'types' in gdscript? that seems to be a very helpful useful thing to know/have

so that should be the first thing on the docs

i cant tell if this is it? https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/development/cpp/core_types.html - or w/e that is saying

i duno if anyting else opened on google is it, everythign is a mess, this is crazy confusing (and whoever wrote the docs doesnt know how to speak english clearly and someone who knows how to commuincate better should re-edit the whole thing)

anyway where to find list of all 'types' in gdscript?

that seems to be a very helpful useful thing to know/have, so where is the 'main list of all lists with helpful + important info'

When you are in the Godot editor, press F4 and a list of all classes (aka types) are shown (along with other information, but you can filter this). Then start typing in the box and see results.

For example, press F4, select Classes Only on the far right drop down, then start typing "Node" or "Tile" and see what comes up. Then double click on one of the classes and you can read the manual showing what methods or properties are available and a little about what they do.

  1. i dont see a list of all types on here
  2. if you supose to press f4 then where does it say that in the docs or anywhere?
  3. ppl shouldnt have to ask for the most basic and extremely basic info like list of all types
  4. that's something extremely basic that whoever made the language is suppseo to make when they first relesae the language software or w/e thing it is
  5. that's the maker's responsibility
  6. you said this shows other irrelevant info, but we only want a list of all types so we know the important info
  7. so after 'f4' how do we show all the types?
  8. and all info about what the types actually do?

The Godot developers have put all the information you are asking for in the documentation, that is on the web and also included with the engine (F4). It does have all the types as far as I can tell, but you have to search because the list is vast.

What you want to do is find a type you are interested in and search for it. For example, if you Google "godot tileset" you will see the first link is an official tutorial on how to use tilemaps: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/tutorials/2d/using_tilemaps.html And the second link is the doc page for TileSet: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.0/classes/class_tileset.html

You can also just go to the classes section of the documentation. It has exactly what you are asking for, a list of all types (and you can click each one for more information). Everything you want is there. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.0/classes/index.html

In editor click on script tab then click on "search help" then select "classes" in dropdown list.

For some reason "F4" doesn't work for me, I have a wierd Lenovo laptop keyboard.
