	<description>
		Nodes are Godot's building blocks. They can be assigned as the child of another node, resulting in a tree arrangement. A given node can contain any number of nodes as children with the requirement that all siblings (direct children of a node) should have unique names.
		A tree of nodes is called a [i]scene[/i]. Scenes can be saved to the disk and then instantiated into other scenes. This allows for very high flexibility in the architecture and data model of Godot projects.
		[b]Scene tree:[/b] The [SceneTree] contains the active tree of nodes. When a node is added to the scene tree, it receives the [constant NOTIFICATION_ENTER_TREE] notification and its [method _enter_tree] callback is triggered. Child nodes are always added [i]after[/i] their parent node, i.e. the [method _enter_tree] callback of a parent node will be triggered before its child's.
		Once all nodes have been added in the scene tree, they receive the [constant NOTIFICATION_READY] notification and their respective [method _ready] callbacks are triggered. For groups of nodes, the [method _ready] callback is called in reverse order, starting with the children and moving up to the parent nodes.
		This means that when adding a node to the scene tree, the following order will be used for the callbacks: [method _enter_tree] of the parent, [method _enter_tree] of the children, [method _ready] of the children and finally [method _ready] of the parent (recursively for the entire scene tree).
		[b]Processing:[/b] Nodes can override the "process" state, so that they receive a callback on each frame requesting them to process (do something). Normal processing (callback [method _process], toggled with [method set_process]) happens as fast as possible and is dependent on the frame rate, so the processing time [i]delta[/i] (in seconds) is passed as an argument. Physics processing (callback [method _physics_process], toggled with [method set_physics_process]) happens a fixed number of times per second (60 by default) and is useful for code related to the physics engine.
		Nodes can also process input events. When present, the [method _input] function will be called for each input that the program receives. In many cases, this can be overkill (unless used for simple projects), and the [method _unhandled_input] function might be preferred; it is called when the input event was not handled by anyone else (typically, GUI [Control] nodes), ensuring that the node only receives the events that were meant for it.
		To keep track of the scene hierarchy (especially when instancing scenes into other scenes), an "owner" can be set for the node with the [member owner] property. This keeps track of who instantiated what. This is mostly useful when writing editors and tools, though.
		Finally, when a node is freed with [method Object.free] or [method queue_free], it will also free all its children.
		[b]Groups:[/b] Nodes can be added to as many groups as you want to be easy to manage, you could create groups like "enemies" or "collectables" for example, depending on your game. See [method add_to_group], [method is_in_group] and [method remove_from_group]. You can then retrieve all nodes in these groups, iterate them and even call methods on groups via the methods on [SceneTree].
		[b]Networking with nodes:[/b] After connecting to a server (or making one, see [ENetMultiplayerPeer]), it is possible to use the built-in RPC (remote procedure call) system to communicate over the network. By calling [method rpc] with a method name, it will be called locally and in all connected peers (peers = clients and the server that accepts connections). To identify which node receives the RPC call, Godot will use its [NodePath] (make sure node names are the same on all peers). Also, take a look at the high-level networking tutorial and corresponding demos.

	</tutorials>
	<methods>
		<method name="_enter_tree" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Called when the node enters the [SceneTree] (e.g. upon instancing, scene changing, or after calling [method add_child] in a script). If the node has children, its [method _enter_tree] callback will be called first, and then that of the children.
				Corresponds to the [constant NOTIFICATION_ENTER_TREE] notification in [method Object._notification].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_exit_tree" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Called when the node is about to leave the [SceneTree] (e.g. upon freeing, scene changing, or after calling [method remove_child] in a script). If the node has children, its [method _exit_tree] callback will be called last, after all its children have left the tree.
				Corresponds to the [constant NOTIFICATION_EXIT_TREE] notification in [method Object._notification] and signal [signal tree_exiting]. To get notified when the node has already left the active tree, connect to the [signal tree_exited].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_get_configuration_warnings" qualifiers="virtual const">
			<return type="PackedStringArray" />
			<description>
				The elements in the array returned from this method are displayed as warnings in the Scene Dock if the script that overrides it is a [code]tool[/code] script.
				Returning an empty array produces no warnings.
				Call [method update_configuration_warnings] when the warnings need to be updated for this node.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_input" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="event" type="InputEvent" />
			<description>
				Called when there is an input event. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.
				It is only called if input processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with [method set_process_input].
				To consume the input event and stop it propagating further to other nodes, [method Viewport.set_input_as_handled] can be called.
				For gameplay input, [method _unhandled_input] and [method _unhandled_key_input] are usually a better fit as they allow the GUI to intercept the events first.
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_physics_process" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="delta" type="float" />
			<description>
				Called during the physics processing step of the main loop. Physics processing means that the frame rate is synced to the physics, i.e. the [code]delta[/code] variable should be constant. [code]delta[/code] is in seconds.
				It is only called if physics processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with [method set_physics_process].
				Corresponds to the [constant NOTIFICATION_PHYSICS_PROCESS] notification in [method Object._notification].
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_process" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="delta" type="float" />
			<description>
				Called during the processing step of the main loop. Processing happens at every frame and as fast as possible, so the [code]delta[/code] time since the previous frame is not constant. [code]delta[/code] is in seconds.
				It is only called if processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with [method set_process].
				Corresponds to the [constant NOTIFICATION_PROCESS] notification in [method Object._notification].
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_ready" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Called when the node is "ready", i.e. when both the node and its children have entered the scene tree. If the node has children, their [method _ready] callbacks get triggered first, and the parent node will receive the ready notification afterwards.
				Corresponds to the [constant NOTIFICATION_READY] notification in [method Object._notification]. See also the [code]onready[/code] keyword for variables.
				Usually used for initialization. For even earlier initialization, [method Object._init] may be used. See also [method _enter_tree].
				[b]Note:[/b] [method _ready] may be called only once for each node. After removing a node from the scene tree and adding again, [code]_ready[/code] will not be called for the second time. This can be bypassed with requesting another call with [method request_ready], which may be called anywhere before adding the node again.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_unhandled_input" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="event" type="InputEvent" />
			<description>
				Called when an [InputEvent] hasn't been consumed by [method _input] or any GUI. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.
				It is only called if unhandled input processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with [method set_process_unhandled_input].
				To consume the input event and stop it propagating further to other nodes, [method Viewport.set_input_as_handled] can be called.
				For gameplay input, this and [method _unhandled_key_input] are usually a better fit than [method _input] as they allow the GUI to intercept the events first.
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_unhandled_key_input" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="event" type="InputEvent" />
			<description>
				Called when an [InputEventKey] or [InputEventShortcut] hasn't been consumed by [method _input] or any GUI. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.
				It is only called if unhandled key input processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with [method set_process_unhandled_key_input].
				To consume the input event and stop it propagating further to other nodes, [method Viewport.set_input_as_handled] can be called.
				For gameplay input, this and [method _unhandled_input] are usually a better fit than [method _input] as they allow the GUI to intercept the events first.
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not orphan).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="add_child">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="node" type="Node" />
			<argument index="1" name="legible_unique_name" type="bool" default="false" />
			<argument index="2" name="internal" type="int" enum="Node.InternalMode" default="0" />
			<description>
				Adds a child node. Nodes can have any number of children, but every child must have a unique name. Child nodes are automatically deleted when the parent node is deleted, so an entire scene can be removed by deleting its topmost node.
				If [code]legible_unique_name[/code] is [code]true[/code], the child node will have a human-readable name based on the name of the node being instantiated instead of its type.
				If [code]internal[/code] is different than [constant INTERNAL_MODE_DISABLED], the child will be added as internal node. Such nodes are ignored by methods like [method get_children], unless their parameter [code]include_internal[/code] is [code]true[/code].The intended usage is to hide the internal nodes from the user, so the user won't accidentally delete or modify them. Used by some GUI nodes, e.g. [ColorPicker]. See [enum InternalMode] for available modes.
				[b]Note:[/b] If the child node already has a parent, the function will fail. Use [method remove_child] first to remove the node from its current parent. For example:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var child_node = get_child(0)
				if child_node.get_parent():
				    child_node.get_parent().remove_child(child_node)
				add_child(child_node)
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				Node childNode = GetChild(0);
				if (childNode.GetParent() != null)
				{
				    childNode.GetParent().RemoveChild(childNode);
				}
				AddChild(childNode);
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				If you need the child node to be added below a specific node in the list of children, use [method add_sibling] instead of this method.
				[b]Note:[/b] If you want a child to be persisted to a [PackedScene], you must set [member owner] in addition to calling [method add_child]. This is typically relevant for [url=https://godot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/misc/running_code_in_the_editor.html]tool scripts[/url] and [url=https://godot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/plugins/editor/index.html]editor plugins[/url]. If [method add_child] is called without setting [member owner], the newly added [Node] will not be visible in the scene tree, though it will be visible in the 2D/3D view.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="add_sibling">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="sibling" type="Node" />
			<argument index="1" name="legible_unique_name" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Adds a [code]sibling[/code] node to current's node parent, at the same level as that node, right below it.
				If [code]legible_unique_name[/code] is [code]true[/code], the child node will have a human-readable name based on the name of the node being instantiated instead of its type.
				Use [method add_child] instead of this method if you don't need the child node to be added below a specific node in the list of children.
				[b]Note:[/b] If this node is internal, the new sibling will be internal too (see [code]internal[/code] parameter in [method add_child]).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="add_to_group">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="group" type="StringName" />
			<argument index="1" name="persistent" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Adds the node to a group. Groups are helpers to name and organize a subset of nodes, for example "enemies" or "collectables". A node can be in any number of groups. Nodes can be assigned a group at any time, but will not be added until they are inside the scene tree (see [method is_inside_tree]). See notes in the description, and the group methods in [SceneTree].
				The [code]persistent[/code] option is used when packing node to [PackedScene] and saving to file. Non-persistent groups aren't stored.
				[b]Note:[/b] For performance reasons, the order of node groups is [i]not[/i] guaranteed. The order of node groups should not be relied upon as it can vary across project runs.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="can_process" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the node can process while the scene tree is paused (see [member process_mode]). Always returns [code]true[/code] if the scene tree is not paused, and [code]false[/code] if the node is not in the tree.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="create_tween">
			<return type="Tween" />
			<description>
				Creates a new [Tween] and binds it to this node. This is equivalent of doing:
				[codeblock]
				get_tree().create_tween().bind_node(self)
				[/codeblock]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="duplicate" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Node" />
			<argument index="0" name="flags" type="int" default="15" />
			<description>
				Duplicates the node, returning a new node.
				You can fine-tune the behavior using the [code]flags[/code] (see [enum DuplicateFlags]).
				[b]Note:[/b] It will not work properly if the node contains a script with constructor arguments (i.e. needs to supply arguments to [method Object._init] method). In that case, the node will be duplicated without a script.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="find_node" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Node" />
			<argument index="0" name="mask" type="String" />
			<argument index="1" name="recursive" type="bool" default="true" />
			<argument index="2" name="owned" type="bool" default="true" />
			<description>
				Finds a descendant of this node whose name matches [code]mask[/code] as in [method String.match] (i.e. case-sensitive, but [code]"*"[/code] matches zero or more characters and [code]"?"[/code] matches any single character except [code]"."[/code]).
				[b]Note:[/b] It does not match against the full path, just against individual node names.
				If [code]owned[/code] is [code]true[/code], this method only finds nodes whose owner is this node. This is especially important for scenes instantiated through a script, because those scenes don't have an owner.
				[b]Note:[/b] As this method walks through all the descendants of the node, it is the slowest way to get a reference to another node. Whenever possible, consider using [method get_node] instead. To avoid using [method find_node] too often, consider caching the node reference into a variable.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="find_parent" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Node" />
			<argument index="0" name="mask" type="String" />
			<description>
				Finds the first parent of the current node whose name matches [code]mask[/code] as in [method String.match] (i.e. case-sensitive, but [code]"*"[/code] matches zero or more characters and [code]"?"[/code] matches any single character except [code]"."[/code]).
				[b]Note:[/b] It does not match against the full path, just against individual node names.
				[b]Note:[/b] As this method walks upwards in the scene tree, it can be slow in large, deeply nested scene trees. Whenever possible, consider using [method get_node] instead. To avoid using [method find_parent] too often, consider caching the node reference into a variable.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_child" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Node" />
			<argument index="0" name="idx" type="int" />
			<argument index="1" name="include_internal" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Returns a child node by its index (see [method get_child_count]). This method is often used for iterating all children of a node.
				Negative indices access the children from the last one.
				If [code]include_internal[/code] is [code]true[/code], internal children are skipped (see [code]internal[/code] parameter in [method add_child]).
				To access a child node via its name, use [method get_node].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_child_count" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<argument index="0" name="include_internal" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Returns the number of child nodes.
				If [code]include_internal[/code] is [code]false[/code], internal children aren't counted (see [code]internal[/code] parameter in [method add_child]).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_children" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Node[]" />
			<argument index="0" name="include_internal" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Returns an array of references to node's children.
				If [code]include_internal[/code] is [code]false[/code], the returned array won't include internal children (see [code]internal[/code] parameter in [method add_child]).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_groups" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Array" />
			<description>
				Returns an array listing the groups that the node is a member of.
				[b]Note:[/b] For performance reasons, the order of node groups is [i]not[/i] guaranteed. The order of node groups should not be relied upon as it can vary across project runs.
				[b]Note:[/b] The engine uses some group names internally (all starting with an underscore). To avoid conflicts with internal groups, do not add custom groups whose name starts with an underscore. To exclude internal groups while looping over [method get_groups], use the following snippet:
				[codeblock]
				# Stores the node's non-internal groups only (as an array of Strings).
				var non_internal_groups = []
				for group in get_groups():
				    if not group.begins_with("_"):
				        non_internal_groups.push_back(group)
				[/codeblock]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_index" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<argument index="0" name="include_internal" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Returns the node's order in the scene tree branch. For example, if called on the first child node the position is [code]0[/code].
				If [code]include_internal[/code] is [code]false[/code], the index won't take internal children into account, i.e. first non-internal child will have index of 0 (see [code]internal[/code] parameter in [method add_child]).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_multiplayer_authority" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the peer ID of the multiplayer authority for this node. See [method set_multiplayer_authority].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_node" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Node" />
			<argument index="0" name="path" type="NodePath" />
			<description>
				Fetches a node. The [NodePath] can be either a relative path (from the current node) or an absolute path (in the scene tree) to a node. If the path does not exist, a [code]null instance[/code] is returned and an error is logged. Attempts to access methods on the return value will result in an "Attempt to call &lt;method&gt; on a null instance." error.
				[b]Note:[/b] Fetching absolute paths only works when the node is inside the scene tree (see [method is_inside_tree]).
				[b]Example:[/b] Assume your current node is Character and the following tree:
				[codeblock]
				/root
				/root/Character
				/root/Character/Sword
				/root/Character/Backpack/Dagger
				/root/MyGame
				/root/Swamp/Alligator
				/root/Swamp/Mosquito
				/root/Swamp/Goblin
				[/codeblock]
				Possible paths are:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				get_node("Sword")
				get_node("Backpack/Dagger")
				get_node("../Swamp/Alligator")
				get_node("/root/MyGame")
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				GetNode("Sword");
				GetNode("Backpack/Dagger");
				GetNode("../Swamp/Alligator");
				GetNode("/root/MyGame");
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_node_and_resource">
			<return type="Array" />
			<argument index="0" name="path" type="NodePath" />
			<description>
				Fetches a node and one of its resources as specified by the [NodePath]'s subname (e.g. [code]Area2D/CollisionShape2D:shape[/code]). If several nested resources are specified in the [NodePath], the last one will be fetched.
				The return value is an array of size 3: the first index points to the [Node] (or [code]null[/code] if not found), the second index points to the [Resource] (or [code]null[/code] if not found), and the third index is the remaining [NodePath], if any.
				For example, assuming that [code]Area2D/CollisionShape2D[/code] is a valid node and that its [code]shape[/code] property has been assigned a [RectangleShape2D] resource, one could have this kind of output:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				print(get_node_and_resource("Area2D/CollisionShape2D")) # [[CollisionShape2D:1161], Null, ]
				print(get_node_and_resource("Area2D/CollisionShape2D:shape")) # [[CollisionShape2D:1161], [RectangleShape2D:1156], ]
				print(get_node_and_resource("Area2D/CollisionShape2D:shape:extents")) # [[CollisionShape2D:1161], [RectangleShape2D:1156], :extents]
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				GD.Print(GetNodeAndResource("Area2D/CollisionShape2D")); // [[CollisionShape2D:1161], Null, ]
				GD.Print(GetNodeAndResource("Area2D/CollisionShape2D:shape")); // [[CollisionShape2D:1161], [RectangleShape2D:1156], ]
				GD.Print(GetNodeAndResource("Area2D/CollisionShape2D:shape:extents")); // [[CollisionShape2D:1161], [RectangleShape2D:1156], :extents]
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]

		</method>
		<method name="get_node_or_null" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Node" />
			<argument index="0" name="path" type="NodePath" />
			<description>
				Similar to [method get_node], but does not log an error if [code]path[/code] does not point to a valid [Node].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_parent" qualifiers="const">

			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_path" qualifiers="const">

			<argument index="0" name="child_node" type="Node" />
			<argument index="1" name="to_position" type="int" />
			<description>
				Moves a child node to a different position (order) among the other children. Since calls, signals, etc are performed by tree order, changing the order of children nodes may be useful.
				[b]Note:[/b] Internal children can only be moved within their expected "internal range" (see [code]internal[/code] parameter in [method add_child]).

			<argument index="0" name="method" type="StringName" />
			<argument index="1" name="args" type="Array" default="[]" />
			<argument index="2" name="parent_first" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Calls the given method (if present) with the arguments given in [code]args[/code] on this node and recursively on all its children. If the [code]parent_first[/code] argument is [code]true[/code], the method will be called on the current node first, then on all its children. If [code]parent_first[/code] is [code]false[/code], the children will be called first.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="propagate_notification">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="what" type="int" />
			<description>
				Notifies the current node and all its children recursively by calling [method Object.notification] on all of them.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="queue_free">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Queues a node for deletion at the end of the current frame. When deleted, all of its child nodes will be deleted as well. This method ensures it's safe to delete the node, contrary to [method Object.free]. Use [method Object.is_queued_for_deletion] to check whether a node will be deleted at the end of the frame.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="raise">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Moves this node to the bottom of parent node's children hierarchy. This is often useful in GUIs ([Control] nodes), because their order of drawing depends on their order in the tree. The top Node is drawn first, then any siblings below the top Node in the hierarchy are successively drawn on top of it. After using [code]raise[/code], a Control will be drawn on top of its siblings.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="remove_and_skip">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Removes a node and sets all its children as children of the parent node (if it exists). All event subscriptions that pass by the removed node will be unsubscribed.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="remove_child">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="node" type="Node" />
			<description>
				Removes a child node. The node is NOT deleted and must be deleted manually.
				[b]Note:[/b] This function may set the [member owner] of the removed Node (or its descendants) to be [code]null[/code], if that [member owner] is no longer a parent or ancestor.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="remove_from_group">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="group" type="StringName" />
			<description>
				Removes a node from a group. See notes in the description, and the group methods in [SceneTree].

		</method>
		<method name="replace_by">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="node" type="Node" />
			<argument index="1" name="keep_groups" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Replaces a node in a scene by the given one. Subscriptions that pass through this node will be lost.
				If [code]keep_groups[/code] is [code]true[/code], the [code]node[/code] is added to the same groups that the replaced node is in.
				Note that the replaced node is not automatically freed, so you either need to keep it in a variable for later use or free it using [method Object.free].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="request_ready">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Requests that [code]_ready[/code] be called again. Note that the method won't be called immediately, but is scheduled for when the node is added to the scene tree again (see [method _ready]). [code]_ready[/code] is called only for the node which requested it, which means that you need to request ready for each child if you want them to call [code]_ready[/code] too (in which case, [code]_ready[/code] will be called in the same order as it would normally).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="rpc" qualifiers="vararg">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<argument index="0" name="method" type="StringName" />
			<description>
				Sends a remote procedure call request for the given [code]method[/code] to peers on the network (and locally), optionally sending all additional arguments as arguments to the method called by the RPC. The call request will only be received by nodes with the same [NodePath], including the exact same node name. Behaviour depends on the RPC configuration for the given method, see [method rpc_config]. Methods are not exposed to RPCs by default. Returns an empty [Variant].
				[b]Note:[/b] You can only safely use RPCs on clients after you received the [code]connected_to_server[/code] signal from the [MultiplayerAPI]. You also need to keep track of the connection state, either by the [MultiplayerAPI] signals like [code]server_disconnected[/code] or by checking [code]get_multiplayer().peer.get_connection_status() == CONNECTION_CONNECTED[/code].

			<argument index="3" name="transfer_mode" type="int" enum="TransferMode" default="2" />
			<argument index="4" name="channel" type="int" default="0" />
			<description>
				Changes the RPC mode for the given [code]method[/code] to the given [code]rpc_mode[/code], optionally specifying the [code]transfer_mode[/code] and [code]channel[/code] (on supported peers). See [enum RPCMode] and [enum TransferMode]. An alternative is annotating methods and properties with the corresponding annotation ([code]@rpc(any)[/code], [code]@rpc(auth)[/code]). By default, methods are not exposed to networking (and RPCs).
			</description>

		<method name="rpc_id" qualifiers="vararg">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<argument index="0" name="peer_id" type="int" />
			<argument index="1" name="method" type="StringName" />
			<description>
				Sends a [method rpc] to a specific peer identified by [code]peer_id[/code] (see [method MultiplayerPeer.set_target_peer]). Returns an empty [Variant].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="set_display_folded">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="fold" type="bool" />
			<description>
				Sets the folded state of the node in the Scene dock. This method is only intended for use with editor tooling.

		<method name="set_multiplayer_authority">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="id" type="int" />
			<argument index="1" name="recursive" type="bool" default="true" />
			<description>
				Sets the node's multiplayer authority to the peer with the given peer ID. The multiplayer authority is the peer that has authority over the node on the network. Useful in conjunction with [method rpc_config] and the [MultiplayerAPI]. Inherited from the parent node by default, which ultimately defaults to peer ID 1 (the server). If [code]recursive[/code], the given peer is recursively set as the authority for all children of this node.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="set_physics_process">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="enable" type="bool" />
			<description>
				Enables or disables physics (i.e. fixed framerate) processing. When a node is being processed, it will receive a [constant NOTIFICATION_PHYSICS_PROCESS] at a fixed (usually 60 FPS, see [member Engine.physics_ticks_per_second] to change) interval (and the [method _physics_process] callback will be called if exists). Enabled automatically if [method _physics_process] is overridden. Any calls to this before [method _ready] will be ignored.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="set_physics_process_internal">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="enable" type="bool" />
			<description>
				Enables or disables internal physics for this node. Internal physics processing happens in isolation from the normal [method _physics_process] calls and is used by some nodes internally to guarantee proper functioning even if the node is paused or physics processing is disabled for scripting ([method set_physics_process]). Only useful for advanced uses to manipulate built-in nodes' behavior.
				[b]Warning:[/b] Built-in Nodes rely on the internal processing for their own logic, so changing this value from your code may lead to unexpected behavior. Script access to this internal logic is provided for specific advanced uses, but is unsafe and not supported.

		<method name="set_process_unhandled_input">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="enable" type="bool" />
			<description>
				Enables unhandled input processing. This is not required for GUI controls! It enables the node to receive all input that was not previously handled (usually by a [Control]). Enabled automatically if [method _unhandled_input] is overridden. Any calls to this before [method _ready] will be ignored.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="set_process_unhandled_key_input">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="enable" type="bool" />

			Only process when the [SceneTree] is paused (don't process when unpaused). This is the inverse of [constant PROCESS_MODE_PAUSABLE].
		</constant>
		<constant name="PROCESS_MODE_ALWAYS" value="3" enum="ProcessMode">
			Always process. Continue processing always, ignoring the [SceneTree]'s paused property. This is the inverse of [constant PROCESS_MODE_DISABLED].
		</constant>
		<constant name="PROCESS_MODE_DISABLED" value="4" enum="ProcessMode">
			Never process. Completely disables processing, ignoring the [SceneTree]'s paused property. This is the inverse of [constant PROCESS_MODE_ALWAYS].

		<constant name="DUPLICATE_GROUPS" value="2" enum="DuplicateFlags">
			Duplicate the node's groups.
