This is a good tip. While it’s nice it’s automatic for templates it would be nice if I could enable a warning or even build error if I miss a type hint. I’ve started using them everywhere because it helps me when I’m going back through old code or code that hasn’t changed in a while. Especially helpful for debugging. As a recent typescript convert, I much prefer gdscript with type hints.
You can do this on a per project basis.
Under Project Setting > General enable advanced settings.
Then under Debug > GDScript you can set your preferred settings for warning and error. I like these settings as it’s more like a statically typed language:
- Untyped Declaration: Error
- Unsafe Property Access: Error
- Unsafe Method Access: Error
- Unsafe Cast: Warn
- Unsafe Call Argument: Error
Oh fantastic thank you! I didn’t know they called it unsafe, which would explain why my search of settings didn’t come up with type hinting here. Much appreciated!
You actually can make them errors!
Very handy, thank you!
