A base class for LimboAI typed parameters.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

A base class for LimboAI typed parameters, with the ability to reference a :ref:`Blackboard<class_Blackboard>` variable or hold a raw value of a specific :ref:`Variant.Type<enum_@GlobalScope_Variant.Type>`.

\ **Note**: Don't instantiate. Use specific subtypes instead.

Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_BBParam_ValueSource:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration

enum **ValueSource**: :ref:`🔗<enum_BBParam_ValueSource>`

.. _class_BBParam_constant_SAVED_VALUE:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`ValueSource<enum_BBParam_ValueSource>` **SAVED_VALUE** = ``0``

The value is stored directly within the BBParam resource.

.. _class_BBParam_constant_BLACKBOARD_VAR:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`ValueSource<enum_BBParam_ValueSource>` **BLACKBOARD_VAR** = ``1``

The value is referenced by a variable name and retrieved from the :ref:`Blackboard<class_Blackboard>`. The variable name is stored within the BBParam resource.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_BBParam_property_saved_value:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

``Variant`` **saved_value** = ``null`` :ref:`🔗<class_BBParam_property_saved_value>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_saved_value**\ (\ value\: ``Variant``\ )
- ``Variant`` **get_saved_value**\ (\ )

Stores the parameter value when :ref:`value_source<class_BBParam_property_value_source>` is set to :ref:`SAVED_VALUE<class_BBParam_constant_SAVED_VALUE>`. The data type of the value is determined by :ref:`get_type<class_BBParam_method_get_type>`.

- |void| **set_value_source**\ (\ value\: :ref:`ValueSource<enum_BBParam_ValueSource>`\ )
- :ref:`ValueSource<enum_BBParam_ValueSource>` **get_value_source**\ (\ )

Specifies the source of the value for BBParam. See :ref:`ValueSource<enum_BBParam_ValueSource>`.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_BBParam_method_get_type:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Variant.Type<enum_@GlobalScope_Variant.Type>` **get_type**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_BBParam_method_get_type>`

Returns the expected data type of the parameter.

.. _class_BBParam_method_get_value:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

``Variant`` **get_value**\ (\ scene_root\: ``Node``, blackboard\: :ref:`Blackboard<class_Blackboard>`, default\: ``Variant`` = null\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_BBParam_method_get_value>`

Returns the value of the parameter.

.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |constructor| replace:: :abbr:`constructor (This method is used to construct a type.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
.. |operator| replace:: :abbr:`operator (This method describes a valid operator to use with this type as left-hand operand.)`
.. |bitfield| replace:: :abbr:`BitField (This value is an integer composed as a bitmask of the following flags.)`
.. |void| replace:: :abbr:`void (No return value.)`
