A simplified interface to a scene file. Provides access to operations and checks that can be performed on the scene resource itself.
Can be used to save a node to a file. When saving, the node as well as all the node it owns get saved (see [code]owner[/code] property on [Node]).
[b]Note:[/b] The node doesn't need to own itself.
+ [b]Example of loading a saved scene:[/b]
+ [codeblock]
+ # Use `load()` instead of `preload()` if the path isn't known at compile-time.
+ var scene = preload("res://scene.tscn").instance()
+ # Add the node as a child of the node the script is attached to.
+ add_child(scene)
+ [/codeblock]
[b]Example of saving a node with different owners:[/b] The following example creates 3 objects: [code]Node2D[/code] ([code]node[/code]), [code]RigidBody2D[/code] ([code]rigid[/code]) and [code]CollisionObject2D[/code] ([code]collision[/code]). [code]collision[/code] is a child of [code]rigid[/code] which is a child of [code]node[/code]. Only [code]rigid[/code] is owned by [code]node[/code] and [code]pack[/code] will therefore only save those two nodes, but not [code]collision[/code].
[codeblock]
# Create the objects.

- Duplicates the resource, returning a new resource. By default, sub-resources are shared between resource copies for efficiency, this can be changed by passing [code]true[/code] to the [code]subresources[/code] argument.
+ Duplicates the resource, returning a new resource. By default, sub-resources are shared between resource copies for efficiency. This can be changed by passing [code]true[/code] to the [code]subresources[/code] argument which will copy the subresources.
+ [b]Note:[/b] If [code]subresources[/code] is [code]true[/code], this method will only perform a shallow copy. Nested resources within subresources will not be duplicated and will still be shared.

Counts down a specified interval and emits a signal on reaching 0. Can be set to repeat or "one-shot" mode.
+ [b]Note:[/b] To create an one-shot timer without instantiating a node, use [method SceneTree.create_timer].
