• case multilineText

  Hints that a String property is text with line breaks. Editing it will show a text input field where line breaks can be typed.

• case colorNoAlpha

  Hints that a Color property should be edited without affecting its transparency (Color/a is not editable).

• case objectId

  Hints that the property’s value is an object encoded as object ID, with its type specified in the hint string. Used by the debugger.

• case typeString

  If a property is String, hints that the property represents a particular type (class). This allows to select a type from the create dialog. The property will store the selected type as a string.

• case nodePathToEditedNode

  Deprecated. This hint is not used anywhere and will be removed in the future.

• case objectTooBig

  Hints that an object is too big to be sent via the debugger.

• case nodePathValidTypes

  Hints that the hint string specifies valid node types for property of type NodePath.

• case saveFile

  Hints that a String property is a path to a file. Editing it will show a file dialog for picking the path for the file to be saved at. The dialog has access to the project’s directory. The hint string can be a set of filters with wildcards like "*.png,*.jpg". See also filters.

• case globalSaveFile

  Hints that a String property is a path to a file. Editing it will show a file dialog for picking the path for the file to be saved at. The dialog has access to the entire filesystem. The hint string can be a set of filters with wildcards like "*.png,*.jpg". See also filters.

• case intIsObjectid

  Hints that an integer property is an object ID.

• case intIsPointer

  Hints that an integer property is a pointer. Used by GDExtension.

• case arrayType

  Hints that a property is an GArray with the stored type specified in the hint string.

• case localeId

  Hints that a string property is a locale code. Editing it will show a locale dialog for picking language and country.

• case localizableString

  Hints that a dictionary property is string translation map. Dictionary keys are locale codes and, values are translated strings.

• case nodeType

  Hints that a property is an instance of a Node-derived type, optionally specified via the hint string (e.g. "Node2D"). Editing it will show a dialog for picking a node from the scene.

• case hideQuaternionEdit

  Hints that a quaternion property should disable the temporary euler editor.

• case password

  Hints that a string property is a password, and every character is replaced with the secret character.

• case max

  Represents the size of the PropertyHint enum.
