Methods are the names of the computer code functions in the classes of the Godot engine. The term comes from object-oriented programming (OOP). OOP is a major part of how the Godot engine functions.

In programming, a function is a block of reusable code.

In object-oriented programming, a “method” is a function that’s defined in a class.

In practice, “method” and “function” are used fairly interchangeably.

so if i want to use has_method then all i need to do is

If (node_hit.has_method(“some method in the target node script”) == true:

and that method could be something like

func on_firefly_dig.

So i guess my question is if i put in “on_firefly_dig” would the has_method work?

This reply is amazing! I have been banging my head against a wall for the past week trying to figure this out, but none of any of the tutorial I watched explained this. This makes things so much clearer now!
