public virtual bool query_action (string action_name, out bool enabled, out VariantType parameter_type, out VariantType state_type, out Variant state_hint, out Variant state)
Queries all aspects of the named action within an this.
This function acquires the information available from has_action, get_action_enabled, get_action_parameter_type, get_action_state_type, get_action_state_hint and get_action_state with a single function call.
This provides two main benefits.
The first is the improvement in efficiency that comes with not having to perform repeated lookups of the action in order to discover different things about it. The second is that implementing ActionGroup can now be done by only overriding this one virtual function.
The interface provides a default implementation of this function that calls the individual functions, as required, to fetch the information. The interface also provides default implementations of those functions that call this function. All implementations, therefore, must override either this function or all of the others.
If the action exists, true is returned and any of the requested fields (as indicated by having a non- null reference passed in) are filled. If the action doesn't exist, false is returned and the fields may or may not have been modified.
