Question

When overriding the virtual method Object._to_string is there way to fall back on the default method?

class_name MyCustomClass
extends Resource

func _to_string() -> String:
    if condition:
        return "My Custom Class"
    else:
        return default

For example, if I have a class that extends Resource, if condition is true then print(MyCustomClass.new()) should print "My Custom Class" but if condition is false then it should print the default <():Resource#XYZ>

Since super doesn’t work and to_string() just implements the _to_string() method, you can use this:

return "%s:<%s#%s>" % [name, get_class(), get_instance_id()]

This will return the default String. I couldn’t find a way to get the original to_string method lol :skull:
