Daily Godot Tip #5: You can enable Add Type Hints in the editor settings to make auto generated code be spawned in with static typing (programming.dev)

This is a good tip. While it’s nice it’s automatic for templates it would be nice if I could enable a warning or even build error if I miss a type hint. I’ve started using them everywhere because it helps me when I’m going back through old code or code that hasn’t changed in a while. Especially helpful for debugging. As a recent typescript convert, I much prefer gdscript with type hints.

You can do this on a per project basis.

Under Project Setting > General enable advanced settings.

Then under Debug > GDScript you can set your preferred settings for warning and error. I like these settings as it's more like a statically typed language:

Untyped Declaration: Error
Unsafe Property Access: Error
Unsafe Method Access: Error
Unsafe Cast: Warn
Unsafe Call Argument: Error

Oh fantastic thank you! I didn’t know they called it unsafe, which would explain why my search of settings didn’t come up with type hinting here. Much appreciated!
