Class WeakRef
- Namespace
- Godot
- Assembly
- GodotSharp.dll
A weakref can hold a RefCounted without contributing to the reference counter. A weakref can be created from an GodotObject using @GlobalScope.weakref. If this object is not a reference, weakref still works, however, it does not have any effect on the object. Weakrefs are useful in cases where multiple classes have variables that refer to each other. Without weakrefs, using these classes could lead to memory leaks, since both references keep each other from being released. Making part of the variables a weakref can prevent this cyclic dependency, and allows the references to be released.

public WeakRef()Methods
GetRef()
Returns the GodotObject this weakref is referring to. Returns null if that object no longer exists.
public Variant GetRef()Returns
HasGodotClassMethod(in godot_string_name)
Check if the type contains a method with the given name. This method is used by Godot to check if a method exists before invoking it. Do not call or override this method.
protected override bool HasGodotClassMethod(in godot_string_name method)Parameters
methodgodot_string_nameName of the method to check for.
Returns
HasGodotClassSignal(in godot_string_name)
Check if the type contains a signal with the given name. This method is used by Godot to check if a signal exists before raising it. Do not call or override this method.
protected override bool HasGodotClassSignal(in godot_string_name signal)Parameters
signalgodot_string_nameName of the signal to check for.
Returns
InvokeGodotClassMethod(in godot_string_name, NativeVariantPtrArgs, out godot_variant)
Invokes the method with the given name, using the given arguments. This method is used by Godot to invoke methods from the engine side. Do not call or override this method.
protected override bool InvokeGodotClassMethod(in godot_string_name method, NativeVariantPtrArgs args, out godot_variant ret)Parameters
methodgodot_string_nameName of the method to invoke.
argsNativeVariantPtrArgsArguments to use with the invoked method.
retgodot_variantValue returned by the invoked method.
