	<brief_description>
		Base class for [AnimationTree] nodes. Not related to scene nodes.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Base resource for [AnimationTree] nodes. In general, it's not used directly, but you can create custom ones with custom blending formulas.
		Inherit this when creating animation nodes mainly for use in [AnimationNodeBlendTree], otherwise [AnimationRootNode] should be used instead.

			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_get_parameter_list" qualifiers="virtual const">
			<return type="Array" />
			<description>
				When inheriting from [AnimationRootNode], implement this virtual method to return a list of the properties on this animation node. Parameters are custom local memory used for your animation nodes, given a resource can be reused in multiple trees. Format is similar to [method Object.get_property_list].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_has_filter" qualifiers="virtual const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				When inheriting from [AnimationRootNode], implement this virtual method to return whether the blend tree editor should display filter editing on this animation node.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_is_parameter_read_only" qualifiers="virtual const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="parameter" type="StringName" />
			<description>
				When inheriting from [AnimationRootNode], implement this virtual method to return whether the [param parameter] is read-only. Parameters are custom local memory used for your animation nodes, given a resource can be reused in multiple trees.

			<description>
				When inheriting from [AnimationRootNode], implement this virtual method to run some code when this animation node is processed. The [param time] parameter is a relative delta, unless [param seek] is [code]true[/code], in which case it is absolute.
				Here, call the [method blend_input], [method blend_node] or [method blend_animation] functions. You can also use [method get_parameter] and [method set_parameter] to modify local memory.
				This function should return the time left for the current animation to finish (if unsure, pass the value from the main blend being called).

		</method>
		<method name="add_input">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="name" type="String" />

			<description>
				Blend an animation by [param blend] amount (name must be valid in the linked [AnimationPlayer]). A [param time] and [param delta] may be passed, as well as whether [param seeked] happened.
				A [param looped_flag] is used by internal processing immediately after the loop. See also [enum Animation.LoopedFlag].
