Why doesn't GDScript have any pointer syntax? Why the hell do I have to just guess which types were arbitrarily chosen to be passed as pointers by default instead of just, y'know, being able to choose that myself by including or not including a fucking asterix?>Oh you want to copy an array? Fuck you. You get a pointer to the array instead, unless you dig into the docs, oh no not those docs the other docs you long-fingered control freak. No we won't indicate in the editor that you actually created a pointer instead of a new array, we'll just leave you to figure it out yourself from all the glitches and crashes since you think you're so smart.>Oh you want to point to an integer? Go to Hell.Why just assume that I'm going to always want to copy the value of this type or point to this other type? "Oh no, the monkeys who never evolved past tree shrews can't understand abstraction, let's do the thinking for them so they don't overwork their atrophied brains" Seriously what the fuck is this? Just give me, ME! the option to choose, on my own, because I'm capable of making my own decisions, which variables to set as their own variables and which variables to set as pointers. Quit making shit harder to use by dumbing it down.
You talk a lot of shit for someone getting tripped up over such a minor issue
>pointer to an intISHYGDDT
>>109426054it's pretty intuitive once you realize that these languages operate on sane behavior. you can always assume that passing an array into a function will always pass a pointer because why the heck would you pass it as a value?
>>109426452I sure hope you're not including Python in "these languages" because it definitely does not operate on sane behavior.
>>109426461what did you encounter that was not sane?
>>109426465GDScript
looks like you missed some baby steps.in most scripting languages, primitive types are passed by value and all the others are passed by reference.
>using the game engine for babies>complaining it treats you like a babylol
>>109426054just git gud, OP. also have you actually measured if you need to optimize a piece of code?if you tinker tranny around like this you'll never finish a game.
>>109426054i use phaser 4 for 2d. godot niggas begone
Yeah it's pretty fucking retarded.
>>109426054This is a skill issue on your part unfortunately.Primitives don't need an identity, data structures do. It's that simple.
>>109426054How about not using GDScript and using C#?
>>109426054Just use an object, objects are passed as reference.
>>109430295Isn't Godot, C and C++ compatible ?
>>109426054because you are using a fake toy language and a fake toy engine?
>>109432289you sound like someone who hasn't heard of scratch or clickteam.
>>109426054Just use .duplicate()Python has very similar syntax Also read thishttps://forum.godotengine.org/t/reference-pointers-in-gdscript/44519/2Coding is about solving problems not getting caught up on minor details
