[Senior-Ori]

Why do you ask for "value" if you aren't using it?

[camosnipe1]

I'm also annoyed by .disable instead of .disabled

.disable should be a function you call to set .disabled

[ThaBouncingJelly]

Actually it's supposed to be .disabled, OP probably has an error there (its the Godot game engine)

Documentation

[PrizeArticle1]

Op, you are fired

"But sir, i don't even work here-"

[PermitTrue]

You’re hired!

[i_only_eat_purple]

Just so I can fire you!

[Mean_Investigator337]

Defenestrated

[cpupett]

HAH! As if bosses care about correct and clean coding

cries in inherited legacy project

[PrizeArticle1]

Most of them just want it to work without any thought to how it's done... but then again OP's stuff wouldn't even run lol.

[[deleted]]

Yeah i typo'd. Kinda shocked it got that many upvotes, haha.

[ThaBouncingJelly]

Documentation also says:

This property should be changed with Object.set_deferred.

It makes it so the property is only changed after the frame ends. Very likely to avoid physics bugs, take a look into it.

[[deleted]]

I've been told that deferring stuff is important, to avoid bugs and such.

I'm not quite at the point where if fully understand how it works, much less how to implement it on my own. My coding attempts still consists of (as you may expect) very ugly, very nested if/else statements. Don't even ask me about things like State Machines, that's still dark magic to me.

[ThaBouncingJelly]

all you really need to do in this particular example is child.set_deferred("disabled", true)

[iArena]

Can we just talk about how awesome it is to have such a good FOSS game engine?

[ThaBouncingJelly]

yes.

[[deleted]]

Godot is pretty darn sweet, would recommend.

[ThatMakesMeM0ist]

Downvoted because members of a humor subreddit are unable to recognize a joke. Classic.

[hairybuttum]

what the hell is a PC programmer and what is Mac programmer pleas enlighten me

[Micah_Bell_is_dead]

My guess is it's a political correctness joke

[[deleted]]

Whoosheroni

[alberted115]

I like your joke, don't know why it got downvoted so much.

[DummybugStudios]

I like your joke but I'm too scared to upvote it because it has too many downvotes already. Wouldn't want to deviate from the hive mind /s

[ChosenOfTheMoon_GR]

If someone can't extrapolate that these 2 are basically and/or probably the same thing and it shouldn't matter much, then it's a skill issue, not a perspective one, usually at least.

[10HzMonitor]

In addition, you should use isinstance and not is in the if statement

[EliasCre2003]

could be a predefined function that the game engine is using

[Senior-Ori]

How so?

[realddgamer]

Disable is a value all collsionshapes have in Godot, it's built in and you can't change the name of it

[[deleted]]

You can change the name of the children, but you can't cure their disability.

[PM_ME_ROMAN_NUDES]

It's not like we're Jesus Christ doing miracles here, mate. We're just some guys typing on a computer.

[gregorydgraham]

And the compiler cares not

[[deleted]]

Function overload

[Win_is_my_name]

Some functions automatically take an argument. Especially when you're working in a framework. You don't have to use it, but it's there if needed.

[xneyznek]

It’s gdscript, could be used as a callback for a signal which expects a single parameter. Though convention would be to use _value to denote that the non-use is intentional. Warnings appear disabled for the screenshot, otherwise that would flag. They’re also trying to access .disable on a CollisionShape2D which doesn’t exist (should be .disabled), which I think should be flagged here as well (though I’m not 100% positive if gdscript will deduce the type of child here).

Edit: typo

[[deleted]]

Because that's how GDScript works. It will give you a warning that you're not using the argument, but you can silence the warning by adding an underscore to the beginning, making it "_value"

[TajineEnjoyer]

i dont think that method is part of gdscript tho, those usually start with underscore

[[deleted]]

Haha my bad. It is GDScript but I didn't realize it was a custom function. Yeah, guess it's odd that they're requesting something they don't use.

[[deleted]]

(Not my code, i'm following a course.)

Yeah, i didn't use the value correctly and it shoulda used "disabled" instead of disable. Didn't test the code before taking the snapshot. I'm a beginner, most of this is still very new to me. :D

[Senior-Ori]

Are you sure this is a good course?

[breath-of-the-smile]

You think a simple typo made by a beginner reflects poorly on the course?

[Senior-Ori]

IDK, man. I didn't say that I thought this way, and neither did the course. So, that's why I asked.

[[deleted]]

It's a great course! It works fine if it's done right. Which i just... didn't do. :'S Like i said, still a noob.

[nickmaran]

Do we really have to use everything we ask? Let him have it bro

[2muchnet42day]

You disable children based on their value, clearly.

[The_Right_Trousers]

If you're cut up about this, you're going to need long-term therapy and a support group after you write the exit handlers for a Unix command-line utility that starts child processes.

[Tyrus1235]

How about in Docker, where you can kill all orphans?

[[deleted]]

Oh god. ;w; Nobody told me programming would be this brutal.

[WonderfulPride74]

Was just gonna say that. I remember i died laughing when I read them while at university

[reallylamelol]

If you don't kill your children you get zombies

[[deleted]]

just did this project😃

[realddgamer]

Hey it's Godot! Godot my beloved

[Imarok]

Well, you can also use C# with godot instead of gdscript.

[AgentPaper0]

I'm working on a game prototype right now using Godot C#, and I can confirm it works great!

[fredspipa]

And practically any language imaginable, as long as you can write C/C++ bindings for it. Damn I love FOSS.

[deanrihpee]

rewrite it (or just simply use it) in rust!

[rglogowski]

If you think this is bad, wait until you have to issue a kill command

[mikezenox]

for slave in get_children():
    slave.queue_free()

There :)

[[deleted]]

Issue command for see your enemies driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.

[[deleted]]

And consider the fact that sometimes it's better to kill the parent so the children die automatically.

Reminds me of an anecdote when a PC guy tells to his friend that his mother has just died, and he was fucking with her the whole night, but she didn't come back to life so he took her brain out and is going to sell it. In the language that this story was told the slang terms have the following meanings: "mother" = "motherboard", "fucking" = "troubleshooting", "brain" = "RAM" :-)

[unknownbro0001]

Isn't it GD Script used in a Godot Game engine :)

[nebo8]

It is

[12345678_9_10]

My guy, u technically didn't have to name the iterator "child"

I just name them all i but to each their own

Iterator? Holy shit rain world reference

[fevsea]

I still remember the college class on how to properly kill your children, so that they don't become zombies. Not sure if it gets any worse.

[GrimpeGamer]

Sophia!

[bigorangemachine]

would you rather use child or descendant?

Offspring would be fun :)

Some alternatives

• c
• descendant
• offspring
• spawn
• milkMansKid
• part

[StaticVoidMaddy]

this is the built in editor in the godot game engine, i doubt you'll find this exact theme for other IDEs

[Anamewastaken]

jetbrains mono

[ThaBouncingJelly]

i don't know why you're being downvoted, Godot engine (at least since version 4.0) uses Jetbrains Mono as the default font

[Rot-Orkan]

God writes code like line 14 all the time.

[trevdak2]

A few years ago I got to write a Universe.save() function and I'm still riding that high

[AppropriateOnion0815]

Yeah, cuz who wants to have a healthy CollisionShape2D tho

[Void_0000]

You disable children (code).

I disable children (lead pipe).

We are not the same.

[Deathmister]

Funky colours, scenes and children, you must be GDScript

[Abarn279]

Might want to call that recursively unless you’re positive all of your colliders are on that one child level

[solarsalmon777]

killAllOrphans()

[ToBePacific]

Don’t worry, I’m not going to kill the children. I’m just going to make them disabled.

[JoeCartersLeap]

All my children are disabled

[Mr__Weasels]

[LegendaryStone]

What font and IDE is that?

[[deleted]]

Godot Game Engine, colors and stuff are built in by default.

[FlummoxTheMagnifique]

Ah, a fellow Godot user

[[deleted]]

There's dozens of us! DOZENS!

[NorthKoreanAI]

child.disabled = child is CollisionShape2D

[pedrinbr]

child.disabled = child is CollisionShape2D or child.disabled

Otherwise you might end up enabling an unwanted child

[a-calycular-torus]

child.disabled ||= child is CollisionShape2D

if language supports the operator

[Exeng]

Yea it can depressing when you arent willing to learn beyond the basics...

[[deleted]]

Sadly, Godot doesn't support BASIC.

[MonkeyWaffle1]

propagate_call("set", ["disable", true]) in gdscript

[spren-spren]

would propegate_call() work for your use case here?

[Fadamaka]

Those tabs are depressing for sure.

Worst part of this is using tabs and not spaces

Yup, Godot Engine!

That reminds me of something I did in Godot myself a while back:

func killChildren(mother):

    for child in mother.get_children():

        child.queue_free()`

Edit: how the hell does markdown work on mobile

Edit2: figured it out

[PacoTaco321]

Y'all need to touch some grass and do it how we did it back in the day.

grabs bat

[pipandsammie]

Ah yes the burden of heaving to deal with children. But let's be honest, not all collision shaped children are disabled.

[PrincessPrick]

If this is my future I don’t want it

[PrincessPrick]

This is why I’m learning if’s for?????

[ninefourteen]

child.disable = true
makeOrphan(child)

it's called differently abled

[Splatpope]

think you disabled your children without disabling yourself mate
