  13. Description
  14. -----------
  15. 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.
  16. A tree of nodes is called a *scene*. 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.
  17. \ **Scene tree:** The :ref:`SceneTree<class_SceneTree>` contains the active tree of nodes. When a node is added to the scene tree, it receives the :ref:`NOTIFICATION_ENTER_TREE<class_Node_constant_NOTIFICATION_ENTER_TREE>` notification and its :ref:`_enter_tree()<class_Node_private_method__enter_tree>` callback is triggered. Child nodes are always added *after* their parent node, i.e. the :ref:`_enter_tree()<class_Node_private_method__enter_tree>` callback of a parent node will be triggered before its child's.
  18. Once all nodes have been added in the scene tree, they receive the :ref:`NOTIFICATION_READY<class_Node_constant_NOTIFICATION_READY>` notification and their respective :ref:`_ready()<class_Node_private_method__ready>` callbacks are triggered. For groups of nodes, the :ref:`_ready()<class_Node_private_method__ready>` callback is called in reverse order, starting with the children and moving up to the parent nodes.
  19. This means that when adding a node to the scene tree, the following order will be used for the callbacks: :ref:`_enter_tree()<class_Node_private_method__enter_tree>` of the parent, :ref:`_enter_tree()<class_Node_private_method__enter_tree>` of the children, :ref:`_ready()<class_Node_private_method__ready>` of the children and finally :ref:`_ready()<class_Node_private_method__ready>` of the parent (recursively for the entire scene tree).
  20. \ **Processing:** Nodes can override the "process" state, so that they receive a callback on each frame requesting them to process (do something). Normal processing (callback :ref:`_process()<class_Node_private_method__process>`, toggled with :ref:`set_process()<class_Node_method_set_process>`) happens as fast as possible and is dependent on the frame rate, so the processing time *delta* (in seconds) is passed as an argument. Physics processing (callback :ref:`_physics_process()<class_Node_private_method__physics_process>`, toggled with :ref:`set_physics_process()<class_Node_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.
  21. Nodes can also process input events. When present, the :ref:`_input()<class_Node_private_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 :ref:`_unhandled_input()<class_Node_private_method__unhandled_input>` function might be preferred; it is called when the input event was not handled by anyone else (typically, GUI :ref:`Control<class_Control>` nodes), ensuring that the node only receives the events that were meant for it.
  22. To keep track of the scene hierarchy (especially when instantiating scenes into other scenes), an "owner" can be set for the node with the :ref:`owner<class_Node_property_owner>` property. This keeps track of who instantiated what. This is mostly useful when writing editors and tools, though.
  23. Finally, when a node is freed with :ref:`Object.free()<class_Object_method_free>` or :ref:`queue_free()<class_Node_method_queue_free>`, it will also free all its children.
  24. \ **Groups:** 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 :ref:`add_to_group()<class_Node_method_add_to_group>`, :ref:`is_in_group()<class_Node_method_is_in_group>` and :ref:`remove_from_group()<class_Node_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 :ref:`SceneTree<class_SceneTree>`.
  25. \ **Networking with nodes:** After connecting to a server (or making one, see :ref:`ENetMultiplayerPeer<class_ENetMultiplayerPeer>`), it is possible to use the built-in RPC (remote procedure call) system to communicate over the network. By calling :ref:`rpc()<class_Node_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 :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` (make sure node names are the same on all peers). Also, take a look at the high-level networking tutorial and corresponding demos.
  26. \ **Note:** The ``script`` property is part of the :ref:`Object<class_Object>` class, not **Node**. It isn't exposed like most properties but does have a setter and getter (see :ref:`Object.set_script()<class_Object_method_set_script>` and :ref:`Object.get_script()<class_Object_method_get_script>`).

Set the process thread group for this node (basically, whether it receives :ref:`NOTIFICATION_PROCESS<class_Node_constant_NOTIFICATION_PROCESS>`, :ref:`NOTIFICATION_PHYSICS_PROCESS<class_Node_constant_NOTIFICATION_PHYSICS_PROCESS>`, :ref:`_process()<class_Node_private_method__process>` or :ref:`_physics_process()<class_Node_private_method__physics_process>` (and the internal versions) on the main thread or in a sub-thread.
  887. By default, the thread group is :ref:`PROCESS_THREAD_GROUP_INHERIT<class_Node_constant_PROCESS_THREAD_GROUP_INHERIT>`, which means that this node belongs to the same thread group as the parent node. The thread groups means that nodes in a specific thread group will process together, separate to other thread groups (depending on :ref:`process_thread_group_order<class_Node_property_process_thread_group_order>`). If the value is set is :ref:`PROCESS_THREAD_GROUP_SUB_THREAD<class_Node_constant_PROCESS_THREAD_GROUP_SUB_THREAD>`, this thread group will occur on a sub thread (not the main thread), otherwise if set to :ref:`PROCESS_THREAD_GROUP_MAIN_THREAD<class_Node_constant_PROCESS_THREAD_GROUP_MAIN_THREAD>` it will process on the main thread. If there is not a parent or grandparent node set to something other than inherit, the node will belong to the *default thread group*. This default group will process on the main thread and its group order is 0.
  888. During processing in a sub-thread, accessing most functions in nodes outside the thread group is forbidden (and it will result in an error in debug mode). Use :ref:`Object.call_deferred()<class_Object_method_call_deferred>`, :ref:`call_thread_safe()<class_Node_method_call_thread_safe>`, :ref:`call_deferred_thread_group()<class_Node_method_call_deferred_thread_group>` and the likes in order to communicate from the thread groups to the main thread (or to other thread groups).
  889. To better understand process thread groups, the idea is that any node set to any other value than :ref:`PROCESS_THREAD_GROUP_INHERIT<class_Node_constant_PROCESS_THREAD_GROUP_INHERIT>` will include any child (and grandchild) nodes set to inherit into its process thread group. This means that the processing of all the nodes in the group will happen together, at the same time as the node including them.

  1058. 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.
  1059. If ``force_readable_name`` is ``true``, improves the readability of the added ``node``. If not named, the ``node`` is renamed to its type, and if it shares :ref:`name<class_Node_property_name>` with a sibling, a number is suffixed more appropriately. This operation is very slow. As such, it is recommended leaving this to ``false``, which assigns a dummy name featuring ``@`` in both situations.
  1060. If ``internal`` is different than :ref:`INTERNAL_MODE_DISABLED<class_Node_constant_INTERNAL_MODE_DISABLED>`, the child will be added as internal node. These nodes are ignored by methods like :ref:`get_children()<class_Node_method_get_children>`, unless their parameter ``include_internal`` is ``true``. It also prevents these nodes being duplicated with their parent. 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. :ref:`ColorPicker<class_ColorPicker>`. See :ref:`InternalMode<enum_Node_InternalMode>` for available modes.
  1061. \ **Note:** If ``node`` already has a parent, this method will fail. Use :ref:`remove_child()<class_Node_method_remove_child>` first to remove ``node`` from its current parent. For example:
  1062. .. tabs::

  1064. var child_node = get_child(0)
  1065. if child_node.get_parent():

  1073. }
  1074. AddChild(childNode);
  1075. If you need the child node to be added below a specific node in the list of children, use :ref:`add_sibling()<class_Node_method_add_sibling>` instead of this method.
  1076. \ **Note:** If you want a child to be persisted to a :ref:`PackedScene<class_PackedScene>`, you must set :ref:`owner<class_Node_property_owner>` in addition to calling :ref:`add_child()<class_Node_method_add_child>`. This is typically relevant for :doc:`tool scripts <../tutorials/plugins/running_code_in_the_editor>` and :doc:`editor plugins <../tutorials/plugins/editor/index>`. If :ref:`add_child()<class_Node_method_add_child>` is called without setting :ref:`owner<class_Node_property_owner>`, the newly added **Node** will not be visible in the scene tree, though it will be visible in the 2D/3D view.

The :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` can either be a relative path (from this node), or an absolute path (from the :ref:`SceneTree.root<class_SceneTree_property_root>`) to a node. If ``path`` does not point to a valid node, generates an error and returns ``null``.

  1689. |void| **reset_physics_interpolation**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_Node_method_reset_physics_interpolation>`
  1690. When physics interpolation is active, moving a node to a radically different transform (such as placement within a level) can result in a visible glitch as the object is rendered moving from the old to new position over the physics tick.
  1691. That glitch can be prevented by calling this method, which temporarily disables interpolation until the physics tick is complete.
  1692. The notification :ref:`NOTIFICATION_RESET_PHYSICS_INTERPOLATION<class_Node_constant_NOTIFICATION_RESET_PHYSICS_INTERPOLATION>` will be received by the node and all children recursively.
  1693. \ **Note:** This function should be called **after** moving the node, rather than before.

  1699. Sends a remote procedure call request for the given ``method`` to peers on the network (and locally), sending additional arguments to the method called by the RPC. The call request will only be received by nodes with the same :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>`, including the exact same :ref:`name<class_Node_property_name>`. Behavior depends on the RPC configuration for the given ``method`` (see :ref:`rpc_config()<class_Node_method_rpc_config>` and :ref:`@GDScript.@rpc<class_@GDScript_annotation_@rpc>`). By default, methods are not exposed to RPCs.
  1700. May return :ref:`@GlobalScope.OK<class_@GlobalScope_constant_OK>` if the call is successful, :ref:`@GlobalScope.ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER<class_@GlobalScope_constant_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER>` if the arguments passed in the ``method`` do not match, :ref:`@GlobalScope.ERR_UNCONFIGURED<class_@GlobalScope_constant_ERR_UNCONFIGURED>` if the node's :ref:`multiplayer<class_Node_property_multiplayer>` cannot be fetched (such as when the node is not inside the tree), :ref:`@GlobalScope.ERR_CONNECTION_ERROR<class_@GlobalScope_constant_ERR_CONNECTION_ERROR>` if :ref:`multiplayer<class_Node_property_multiplayer>`'s connection is not available.
  1701. \ **Note:** You can only safely use RPCs on clients after you received the :ref:`MultiplayerAPI.connected_to_server<class_MultiplayerAPI_signal_connected_to_server>` signal from the :ref:`MultiplayerAPI<class_MultiplayerAPI>`. You also need to keep track of the connection state, either by the :ref:`MultiplayerAPI<class_MultiplayerAPI>` signals like :ref:`MultiplayerAPI.server_disconnected<class_MultiplayerAPI_signal_server_disconnected>` or by checking (``get_multiplayer().peer.get_connection_status() == CONNECTION_CONNECTED``).

  1743. 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. Defaults to peer ID 1 (the server). Useful in conjunction with :ref:`rpc_config()<class_Node_method_rpc_config>` and the :ref:`MultiplayerAPI<class_MultiplayerAPI>`.
