How do you disable a function?

Question

I am wondering if there is a way to disable the physicsfunction(delta) function. I tried using set_process(false) and that didn't work.

Comments

What's the goal exactly? If you don't want the function to do anything, don't put any code in it. I assume that's not what you're after, but I'm not sure I understand the ask.

I have some code in the physics process delta function but I want to disable that code because when the player dies and does its death sequence it keeps following the code under the physics process function and I don't want it to do that.

So, in that case, you probably want to just put some sort of boolean guard around the logic you want to "skip" when your player dies. Something like:

var alive = true

func _physics_process(delta):
    if alive:
        # do normal "alive" processing

Then, when your player "dies", just set the alive variable to false to skip the _physics_process() logic.

That worked thank you so much

Answer 1

So, based on the above discussion, the answer here is to put a boolean guard around the logic in question to only run the code when appropriate. Example transferred from above:

var alive = true

func _physics_process(delta):
    if alive:
        # do normal "alive" processing

Then, set alive to false when the player dies and the associated _physics_process() code will stop exeucting.

Answer 2

Alternatively you could use set_physics_process(false)
