In gdscript, I know that I can get a character from a specific location using something like this:

var string = "Hello"
print(string[3])        # prints "l"

In python, we can use:

string[0:3]

or

string[:3]

to get the first 4 characters, or “Hell”.

Is there a way to do this on gdscript as well?

There is talk of this being added in Godot 3.1.

See Array slicing for GDScript · Issue #4715 · godotengine/godot · GitHub for discussion as well as workarounds.

Like this:

print("Hello".left(4))

Here the full String Class Doc :smiley: http://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.0/classes/class_string.html?highlight=String#class-string-left

I’ve been looking for this for almost 2-3 hours. :))
so how do we delete the first 4
