VisualScript: Godot 3.0, no literal values #9649

Closed willnationsdev closed 7 years ago

willnationsdev commented 7 years ago

There should be a way to create a literal primitive in VisualScript. So far as I can tell, this is currently impossible. You first have to create a member or local variable and then you can create a Variable / LocalVarGet node that retrieves it via name. However, it would be nice if I could just make a Literal node, set the type to String (or have respective StringLiteral, IntLiteral, etc. nodes), and then set the value to "Hello, World", or even an entire paragraph of content (in a TextEdit).

Isn't that what the "Constant" node does? const_vs

Note that you don't specifiy the type and value in the graph-node itself, but in the inspector.

Ah, I see. That was confusing. "Constants" are usually integer-only and as such I never realized that you could edit them in the Inspector.
