System information

Issue description

When trying to assign a typed array to an array of a parent type, godot will raise an error.

Steps to reproduce

1. create a new script
2. write this snippet into the _ready function

var node_array: Array[Node]
var node_3d_array: Array[Node3D] = []

node_array = node_3d_array

Expected Result:
It is allowed to assign an array of inherited types to a typed array

Observed result:
Error: Value of Array[Node3D] cannot be assigned to a variable of type "Array[Node]".

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

N/A

Btw: This is not a too critical bug, as you can simply use the parent type for your array instead as a workaround.

This is a known limitation, see the discussion in:

• Behavior of typed arrays godot-proposals#7364

Consolidating there

[betalars]

Wait, this is intended? Okay I did not see that coming.

[AThousandShips]

See the discussion, it's a known limitation, and being discussed how it should work, it's not intended necessarily, we just need to work out how it should work, you'll see the details there

Also try

node_array.assign(node_3d_array)
