expected end of statement var, got ? instead

Certainly! The conditional operator ? is not valid in GDScript, so we need to replace those lines with standard if statements. Here’s the corrected version of the Base64 encoding function:

Complete Script with Fixed Base64 Encoding

extends Node

# Replace with your WordPress site URL
const WORDPRESS_URL = "https://your-wordpress-site.com/wp-json/wp/v2/comments"
# Replace with your WordPress username and application password
const USERNAME = "your_username"
const APP_PASSWORD = "your_application_password"

func _ready():
    # Call the function to submit a comment
    submit_comment("Your Name", "Your comment text here", "post_id_or_url")

func submit_comment(name: String, comment: String, post_id: String):
    var http_request = HTTPRequest.new()
    add_child(http_request)

    var headers = [
        "Authorization: Basic " + base64_encode(USERNAME + ":" + APP_PASSWORD),
        "Content-Type: application/json"
    ]

    var body = {
        "post": post_id,  # Use the post ID or URL
        "author_name": name,
        "content": comment
    }

    var json_body = JSON.print(body)

    var err = http_request.request(WORDPRESS_URL, headers, true, HTTPClient.METHOD_POST, json_body)

    if err != OK:
        print("Error sending request: ", err)
        return

    # Connect the request_completed signal to handle the response
    http_request.connect("request_completed", self, "_on_request_completed")

func _on_request_completed(result: int, response_code: int, headers: Array, body: PoolByteArray):
    if response_code == 201:
        print("Comment submitted successfully!")
    else:
        print("Failed to submit comment. Response code: ", response_code)

# Custom Base64 encoding function
func base64_encode(data: String) -> String:
    var bytes = data.to_utf8()
    var base64_chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/"
    var output = ""

    # Process the input bytes in chunks of 3 bytes
    for i in range(0, bytes.size(), 3):
        var b1 = bytes[i]
        var b2 = 0
        var b3 = 0

        if i + 1 < bytes.size():
            b2 = bytes[i + 1]
        if i + 2 < bytes.size():
            b3 = bytes[i + 2]

        var combined = (b1 << 16) | (b2 << 8) | b3

        output += base64_chars[(combined >> 18) & 0x3F]
        output += base64_chars[(combined >> 12) & 0x3F]

        # Check if we have the second byte
        if i + 1 < bytes.size():
            output += base64_chars[(combined >> 6) & 0x3F]
        else:
            output += "="  # Padding

        # Check if we have the third byte
        if i + 2 < bytes.size():
            output += base64_chars[combined & 0x3F]
        else:
            output += "="  # Padding

    return output

Key Changes

1. Replaced Conditional Operators: The lines that were using the conditional operator ? have been replaced with if statements to check if the second and third bytes are available. If they are not, it appends "=" for padding.
2. Padding Logic: The padding logic is now clearly separated into if statements, making it easier to read and understand.

Important Notes

• Make sure to replace "post_id_or_url" with the actual post ID or URL where you want to submit the comment.
• Test the script in your Godot project to ensure it works as expected.

This implementation should now work correctly for submitting comments to your WordPress site from your Godot application.
