				Decode the given [code]data[/code] representing a spawnable state into [code]object[/code] using the configuration associated with the provided [code]scene_id[/code]. This function is called automatically when a client receives a server spawn for a scene with [constant REPLICATION_MODE_SERVER]. See [method spawn_config].
				Tip: You may find this function useful in servers when parsing spawn requests from clients, or when implementing your own logic with [constant REPLICATION_MODE_CUSTOM].

				Sends a despawn request for the scene identified by [code]scene_id[/code] to the given [code]peer_id[/code] (see [method MultiplayerPeer.set_target_peer]). If the scene is configured as [constant REPLICATION_MODE_SERVER] (see [method spawn_config]) and the request is sent by the server (see [method MultiplayerAPI.is_network_server]), the receiving peer(s) will automatically queue for deletion the node at [code]path[/code] and emit the signal [signal despawned]. In all other cases no deletion happens, and the signal [signal despawn_requested] is emitted instead.

				Sends a spawn request for the scene identified by [code]scene_id[/code] to the given [code]peer_id[/code] (see [method MultiplayerPeer.set_target_peer]). If the scene is configured as [constant REPLICATION_MODE_SERVER] (see [method spawn_config]) and the request is sent by the server (see [method MultiplayerAPI.is_network_server]), the receiving peer(s) will automatically instantiate that scene, add it to the [SceneTree] at the given [code]path[/code] and emit the signal [signal spawned]. In all other cases no instantiation happens, and the signal [signal spawn_requested] is emitted instead.

				Configures the MultiplayerAPI to track instances of the [PackedScene] identified by [code]scene_id[/code] (see [method ResourceLoader.get_resource_uid]) for the purpose of network replication. When [code]mode[/code] is [constant REPLICATION_MODE_SERVER], the specified [code]properties[/code] will also be replicated to clients during the initial spawn.
				Tip: You can use a custom property in the scene main script to return a customly optimized state representation.
