			<description>
				Execute the custom node's logic, returning the index of the output sequence port to use or a [String] when there is an error.
				
				The [code]inputs[/code] array contains the values of the input ports.
				[code]outputs[/code] is an array whose indices should be set to the respective outputs.
				The [code]start_mode[/code] is usually [code]START_MODE_BEGIN_SEQUENCE[/code], unless you have used the STEP_* constants.
				[code]working_mem[/code] is an array which can be used to persist information between runs of the custom node.
				
				When returning, you can mask the returned value with one of the STEP_* constants.

	<constants>
		<constant name="START_MODE_BEGIN_SEQUENCE" value="0" enum="StartMode">
			The start mode used the first time when [method _step] is called.
		</constant>
		<constant name="START_MODE_CONTINUE_SEQUENCE" value="1" enum="StartMode">
			The start mode used when [method _step] is called after coming back from a STEP_PUSH_STACK_BIT.

			The start mode used when [method _step] is called after resuming from STEP_YIELD_BIT.

		<constant name="STEP_PUSH_STACK_BIT" value="16777216">
			Hint used by [method _step] to tell that control should return to it when there is no other node left to execute.
			This is used by [VisualScriptCondition] to redirect the sequence to the "Done" port after the true/false branch has finished execution.
		</constant>
		<constant name="STEP_GO_BACK_BIT" value="33554432">
			Hint used by [method _step] to tell that control should return back, either hitting a previous STEP_PUSH_STACK_BIT or exiting the function.

			Hint used by [method _step] to tell that the function should be yielded.
			Using this requires you to have at least one working memory slot, which is used for the [VisualScriptFunctionState].
