Inherits: Object
Access to engine properties.
The Engine singleton allows you to query and modify the project's run-time parameters, such as frames per second, time scale, and others.
| bool | editor_hint | true |
| int | iterations_per_second | 60 |
| float | physics_jitter_fix | 0.5 |
| int | target_fps | 0 |

| Default | true |
| Setter | set_editor_hint(value) |
| Getter | is_editor_hint() |
If true, it is running inside the editor. Useful for tool scripts.
| Default | 60 |
| Setter | set_iterations_per_second(value) |
| Getter | get_iterations_per_second() |
The number of fixed iterations per second. This controls how often physics simulation and Node._physics_process methods are run. This value should generally always be set to 60 or above, as Godot doesn't interpolate the physics step. As a result, values lower than 60 will look stuttery. This value can be increased to make input more reactive or work around tunneling issues, but keep in mind doing so will increase CPU usage.
| Default | 0.5 |
| Setter | set_physics_jitter_fix(value) |
| Getter | get_physics_jitter_fix() |
Controls how much physics ticks are synchronized with real time. For 0 or less, the ticks are synchronized. Such values are recommended for network games, where clock synchronization matters. Higher values cause higher deviation of in-game clock and real clock, but allows to smooth out framerate jitters. The default value of 0.5 should be fine for most; values above 2 could cause the game to react to dropped frames with a noticeable delay and are not recommended.
| Default | 0 |
| Setter | set_target_fps(value) |
| Getter | get_target_fps() |
The desired frames per second. If the hardware cannot keep up, this setting may not be respected. A value of 0 means no limit.
| Default | 1.0 |
| Setter | set_time_scale(value) |
| Getter | get_time_scale() |
Controls how fast or slow the in-game clock ticks versus the real life one. It defaults to 1.0. A value of 2.0 means the game moves twice as fast as real life, whilst a value of 0.5 means the game moves at half the regular speed.
Returns engine author information in a Dictionary.
lead_developers - Array of Strings, lead developer names
founders - Array of Strings, founder names
project_managers - Array of Strings, project manager names
developers - Array of Strings, developer names
Returns an Array of copyright information Dictionaries.
name - String, component name
parts - Array of Dictionaries {files, copyright, license} describing subsections of the component
Returns a Dictionary of Arrays of donor names.
{platinum_sponsors, gold_sponsors, silver_sponsors, bronze_sponsors, mini_sponsors, gold_donors, silver_donors, bronze_donors}
Returns the total number of frames drawn. If the render loop is disabled with --disable-render-loop via command line, this returns 0. See also get_idle_frames.
Returns the frames per second of the running game.
Returns the total number of frames passed since engine initialization which is advanced on each idle frame, regardless of whether the render loop is enabled. See also get_frames_drawn.
Returns Dictionary of licenses used by Godot and included third party components.
Returns Godot license text.
Returns the main loop object (see MainLoop and SceneTree).
Returns the total number of frames passed since engine initialization which is advanced on each physics frame.
Returns the fraction through the current physics tick we are at the time of rendering the frame. This can be used to implement fixed timestep interpolation.
Returns a global singleton with given name. Often used for plugins, e.g. GodotPayment on Android.
Returns the current engine version information in a Dictionary.
major - Holds the major version number as an int
minor - Holds the minor version number as an int
patch - Holds the patch version number as an int
hex - Holds the full version number encoded as a hexadecimal int with one byte (2 places) per number (see example below)
status - Holds the status (e.g. "beta", "rc1", "rc2", ... "stable") as a String
build - Holds the build name (e.g. "custom_build") as a String
hash - Holds the full Git commit hash as a String
year - Holds the year the version was released in as an int
string - major + minor + patch + status + build in a single String
The hex value is encoded as follows, from left to right: one byte for the major, one byte for the minor, one byte for the patch version. For example, "3.1.12" would be 0x03010C. Note: It's still an int internally, and printing it will give you its decimal representation, which is not particularly meaningful. Use hexadecimal literals for easy version comparisons from code:
if Engine.get_version_info().hex >= 0x030200:
# Do things specific to version 3.2 or later
else:
# Do things specific to versions before 3.2
Returns true if a singleton with given name exists in global scope.
Returns true if the game is inside the fixed process and physics phase of the game loop.
