+ <brief_description>
+ Automatically replicates spawnable nodes from the authority to other multiplayer peers.
+ </brief_description>
+ <description>
+ Spawnable scenes can be configured in the editor or through code (see [method add_spawnable_scene]).
+ Also supports custom node spawns through [method spawn], calling [method _spawn_custom] on all peers.
+
+ Internally, [MultiplayerSpawner] uses [method MultiplayerAPI.object_configuration_add] to notify spawns passing the spawned node as the [code]object[/code] and itself as the [code]configuration[/code], and [method MultiplayerAPI.object_configuration_remove] to notify despawns in a similar way.

+ <methods>
+ <method name="_spawn_custom" qualifiers="virtual">
+ <return type="Node" />
+ <argument index="0" name="data" type="Variant" />
+ <description>
+ Method called on all peers when a custom spawn was requested by the authority using [method spawn]. Should return a [Node] that is not in the scene tree.
+
+ [b]Note:[/b] Spawned nodes should [b]not[/b] be added to the scene with `add_child`. This is done automatically.
+ </description>
+ </method>
+ <method name="add_spawnable_scene">
+ <return type="void" />
+ <argument index="0" name="path" type="String" />
+ <description>
+ Adds a scene path to spawnable scenes, making it automatically replicated from the multiplayer authority to other peers when added as children of the node pointed by [member spawn_path].
+ </description>
+ </method>
+ <method name="clear_spawnable_scenes">
+ <return type="void" />
+ <description>
+ Clears all spawnable scenes. Does not despawn existing instances on remote peers.
+ </description>
+ </method>
+ <method name="get_spawnable_scene" qualifiers="const">
+ <return type="String" />
+ <argument index="0" name="index" type="int" />
+ <description>
+ Returns the spawnable scene path by index.
+ </description>
+ </method>
+ <method name="get_spawnable_scene_count" qualifiers="const">
+ <return type="int" />
+ <description>
+ Returns the count of spawnable scene paths.
+ </description>
+ </method>
+ <method name="spawn">
+ <return type="Node" />
+ <argument index="0" name="data" type="Variant" default="null" />
+ <description>
+ Requests a custom spawn, with [code]data[/code] passed to [method _spawn_custom] on all peers. Returns the locally spawned node instance already inside the scene tree, and added as a child of the node pointed by [member spawn_path].
+
+ [b]Note:[/b] Spawnable scenes are spawned automatically. [method spawn] is only needed for custom spawns.

+ Path to the spawn root. Spawnable scenes that are added as direct children are replicated to other peers.
