<description>
Adds a custom type, which will appear in the list of nodes or resources. An icon can be optionally passed.
When a given node or resource is selected, the base type will be instantiated (e.g. "Node3D", "Control", "Resource"), then the script will be loaded and set to this object.
[b]Note:[/b] The base type is the base engine class which this type's class hierarchy inherits, not any custom type parent classes.
You can use the virtual method [method _handles] to check if your custom object is being edited by checking the script or using the [code]is[/code] keyword.
During run-time, this will be a simple object with a script so this function does not need to be called then.
[b]Note:[/b] Custom types added this way are not true classes. They are just a helper to create a node with specific script.
