		Manages the game loop via a hierarchy of nodes.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		As one of the most important classes, the [SceneTree] manages the hierarchy of nodes in a scene as well as scenes themselves. Nodes can be added, retrieved and removed. The whole scene tree (and thus the current scene) can be paused. Scenes can be loaded, switched and reloaded.
		You can also use the [SceneTree] to organize your nodes into groups: every node can be assigned as many groups as you want to create, e.g. a "enemy" group. You can then iterate these groups or even call methods and set properties on all the group's members at once.
		[SceneTree] is the default [MainLoop] implementation used by scenes, and is thus in charge of the game loop.

			The default [MultiplayerAPI] instance for this [SceneTree].
		</member>
		<member name="multiplayer_poll" type="bool" setter="set_multiplayer_poll_enabled" getter="is_multiplayer_poll_enabled" default="true">
			If [code]true[/code] (default value), enables automatic polling of the [MultiplayerAPI] for this SceneTree during [signal idle_frame].
			If [code]false[/code], you need to manually call [method MultiplayerAPI.poll] to process network packets and deliver RPCs/RSETs. This allows running RPCs/RSETs in a different loop (e.g. physics, thread, specific time step) and for manual [Mutex] protection when accessing the [MultiplayerAPI] from threads.
		</member>
		<member name="network_peer" type="NetworkedMultiplayerPeer" setter="set_network_peer" getter="get_network_peer">
			The peer object to handle the RPC system (effectively enabling networking when set). Depending on the peer itself, the [SceneTree] will become a network server (check with [method is_network_server]) and will set the root node's network mode to master (see [code]NETWORK_MODE_*[/code] constants in [Node]), or it will become a regular peer with the root node set to puppet. All child nodes are set to inherit the network mode by default. Handling of networking-related events (connection, disconnection, new clients) is done by connecting to [SceneTree]'s signals.
		</member>
		<member name="paused" type="bool" setter="set_pause" getter="is_paused" default="false">
			If [code]true[/code], the [SceneTree] is paused. Doing so will have the following behavior:
