Property Descriptions

  • int absolute_index

Default

0

Setter

set_absolute_index(value)

Getter

get_absolute_index()

The index of the current character (starting from 0). Setting this property won’t affect drawing.


Default

0

Setter

set_character(value)

Getter

get_character()

The Unicode codepoint the character will use. This only affects non-whitespace characters. @GDScript.ord can be useful here. For example, the following will replace all characters with asterisks:

  1. # `char_fx` is the CharFXTransform parameter from `_process_custom_fx()`.
  2. # See the RichTextEffect documentation for details.
  3. char_fx.character = ord("*")

Default

Color( 0, 0, 0, 1 )

Setter

set_color(value)

Getter

get_color()

The color the character will be drawn with.


Default

0.0

Setter

set_elapsed_time(value)

Getter

get_elapsed_time()

The time elapsed since the RichTextLabel was added to the scene tree (in seconds). Time stops when the RichTextLabel is paused (see Node.pause_mode). Resets when the text in the RichTextLabel is changed.

Note: Time still passes while the RichTextLabel is hidden.


Default

{}

Setter

set_environment(value)

Getter

get_environment()

Contains the arguments passed in the opening BBCode tag. By default, arguments are strings; if their contents match a type such as bool, int or float, they will be converted automatically. Color codes in the form #rrggbb or #rgb will be converted to an opaque Color. String arguments may not contain spaces, even if they’re quoted. If present, quotes will also be present in the final string.

For example, the opening BBCode tag [example foo=hello bar=true baz=42 color=#ffffff] will map to the following Dictionary:

  1. {"foo": "hello", "bar": true, "baz": 42, "color": Color(1, 1, 1, 1)}

Default

Vector2( 0, 0 )

Setter

set_offset(value)

Getter

get_offset()

The position offset the character will be drawn with (in pixels).


  • int relative_index

Default

0

Setter

set_relative_index(value)

Getter

get_relative_index()

The index of the current character (starting from 0). Setting this property won’t affect drawing.


Default

true

Setter

set_visibility(value)

Getter

is_visible()

If true, the character will be drawn. If false, the character will be hidden. Characters around hidden characters will reflow to take the space of hidden characters. If this is not desired, set their color to Color(1, 1, 1, 0) instead.
