Call Deferred in Gdscript

In Gdscript the call_deferred is used to delay the execution of the function until idle time.

According to this thread it’s an oversimplification in the documentation for the sake of understanding and under the hood, the function starts a new call stack after the current one.

Syntax

On an Object

<object>.call_deferred("<method_name>", <arguments>)

On a Callable

<callable>.call_deferred()

Warning

Returns null not the method’s result
