fix: generating declaration file inside editor

[nmerget]

• fix issues with new generated godot.d.ts file for version 4.1

[SebastianAtWork]

Hi, I would also like the d.ts file to be generated correctly and I would be happy to help in archiving this. Currently, when I try to use this pr branch, I get around 218 missing declaration errors: `godot.d.ts:107978:50 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Transform3D'.

And indeed, these types are not generated. Are they supposed to come from somewhere else or am I missing something?

I see Transform3D generated as Transform btw. But nothing like Dictionary.

@SebastianAtWork I played with this a bit and resolved the Transform3D and Dictionary issue.

Using this PR's branch:

You should be able to fix Transform3D by going into misc/godot.d.ts and renaming the Transform class symbol to Transform3D

For Dictionary, it looks like that's supposed to resolve to object for the final output, but *[] breaks the type conversion.

In editor/editor_tools.cpp, replace the function get_type_name with this:

static String get_type_name(const String &p_type) {
    if (p_type.is_empty() || p_type == "void")
        return "void";

    if (p_type.ends_with("[]")) {
        String base_type = p_type.substr(0, p_type.length() - 2);
        return "Array<" + get_type_name(base_type) + ">";
    }

    if (p_type == "int" || p_type == "float")
        return "number";
    if (p_type == "bool")
        return "boolean";
    if (p_type == "String" || p_type == "NodePath")
        return "string";
    if (p_type == "Array")
        return "any[]";
    if (p_type == "Dictionary")
        return "object";
    if (p_type == "Variant" || p_type.contains("*"))
        return "any";
    if (p_type == "StringName")
        return "StringName | string";
    return p_type;
}
