  22. Description
  23. -----------
  24. In GDScript, functions are not *first-class objects*. This means it is impossible to store them directly as variables, return them from another function, or pass them as arguments.
  25. However, by creating a ``FuncRef`` using the :ref:`@GDScript.funcref<class_@GDScript_method_funcref>` function, a reference to a function in a given object can be created, passed around and called.

  28. .. _class_FuncRef_method_call_func:
  29. - :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` **call_func** **(** ... **)** vararg
  30. Calls the referenced function previously set by :ref:`set_function<class_FuncRef_method_set_function>` or :ref:`@GDScript.funcref<class_@GDScript_method_funcref>`.
  31. ----
  32. .. _class_FuncRef_method_set_function:
  33. - void **set_function** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` name **)**
  34. The name of the referenced function to call on the object, without parentheses or any parameters.
  35. ----
  36. .. _class_FuncRef_method_set_instance:
  37. - void **set_instance** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` instance **)**
  38. The object containing the referenced function. This object must be of a type actually inheriting from :ref:`Object<class_Object>`, not a built-in type such as :ref:`int<class_int>`, :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` or :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>`.
