Expressions reference

Expressions can be entered when you see a field with one of these buttons:

  • The left button indicates a "string expression" (a text)
  • The right button indicates a "numerical expression" (a number)

This page is a reference of all expressions that can be used in GDevelop, grouped by the extension, object or behavior they belong too. When Object is written, you should enter an object name. Learn more here about how to write expressions
