• bool class_exists ( String class ) const

Returns whether the specified ‘class’ is available or not.

• String class_get_category ( String class ) const

Returns the value of the integer constant ‘name’ of ‘class’ or its ancestry. Always returns 0 when the constant could not be found.

• PoolStringArray class_get_integer_constant_list ( String class, bool no_inheritance=false ) const

Returns an array with the names all the integer constants of ‘class’ or its ancestry.

• Array class_get_method_list ( String class, bool no_inheritance=false ) const

Returns an array with all the methods of ‘class’ or its ancestry if ‘no_inheritance’ is false. Every element of the array is a Dictionary with the following keys: args, default_args, flags, id, name, return: (class_name, hint, hint_string, name, type, usage).

• Variant class_get_property ( Object object, String property ) const

Returns an array with all the signals of ‘class’ or its ancestry if ‘no_inheritance’ is false. Every element of the array is a Dictionary as described in class_get_signal.

• bool class_has_integer_constant ( String class, String name ) const

• PoolStringArray get_class_list ( ) const

Returns the names of all the classes available.

• PoolStringArray get_inheriters_from_class ( String class ) const

• Variant instance ( String class ) const

Creates an instance of ‘class’.
