  34. Description
  35. -----------
  36. A unit of execution in a process. Can run methods on :ref:`Object<class_Object>`\ s simultaneously. The use of synchronization via :ref:`Mutex<class_Mutex>` or :ref:`Semaphore<class_Semaphore>` is advised if working with shared objects.
  37. Method Descriptions
  38. -------------------
  39. .. _class_Thread_method_get_id:
  40. - :ref:`String<class_String>` **get_id** **(** **)** const
  41. Returns the current ``Thread``'s ID, uniquely identifying it among all threads.
  42. .. _class_Thread_method_is_active:
  43. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_active** **(** **)** const
  44. Returns ``true`` if this ``Thread`` is currently active. An active ``Thread`` cannot start work on a new method but can be joined with :ref:`wait_to_finish<class_Thread_method_wait_to_finish>`.
  45. .. _class_Thread_method_start:
  46. - :ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **start** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` instance, :ref:`String<class_String>` method, :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` userdata=null, :ref:`Priority<enum_Thread_Priority>` priority=1 **)**
  47. Starts a new ``Thread`` that runs ``method`` on object ``instance`` with ``userdata`` passed as an argument. The ``priority`` of the ``Thread`` can be changed by passing a value from the :ref:`Priority<enum_Thread_Priority>` enum.
  48. Returns :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK<class_@GlobalScope_constant_OK>` on success, or :ref:`@GlobalScope.ERR_CANT_CREATE<class_@GlobalScope_constant_ERR_CANT_CREATE>` on failure.
  49. .. _class_Thread_method_wait_to_finish:
  50. - :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` **wait_to_finish** **(** **)**
  51. Joins the ``Thread`` and waits for it to finish. Returns what the method called returned.
