the question is what is the difference between these two?
i decided to put this question here for the ones that have the same question but no answer.
what i have discovered is that the idle_frame signal fires only once every frame.
meaning if you were to call yield(get_tree(), "idle_frame") inside a function that is running during idle frame, due to another yield like this one, it will wait for the next.
but call_deferred simply means call during idle frame. meaning if you are at frame 1000, and use call_deferred inside a function that is already running at idle frame, it might be called in the same idle frame and not the next one.
i think godot engine puts everything you ask to be called with “call_deferred” in a stack and won’t exit idle frame until that stack is empty.
however what is not clear to me is if idle_frame signal is fired before any deferred calls or after all deferred calls.
beware when combining deferred and yield calls
