	</brief_description>
	<description>
		A class stored as a resource. A script extends the functionality of all objects that instantiate it.
		This is the base class for all scripts and should not be used directly. Trying to create a new script with this class will result in an error.
		The [code]new[/code] method of a script subclass creates a new instance. [method Object.set_script] extends an existing object, if that object's class matches one of the script's base classes.

	<methods>
		<method name="can_instantiate" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the script can be instantiated.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_base_script" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Script" />
			<description>
				Returns the script directly inherited by this script.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_global_name" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="StringName" />
			<description>
				Returns the class name associated with the script, if there is one. Returns an empty string otherwise.
				To give the script a global name, you can use the [code]class_name[/code] keyword in GDScript and the [code][GlobalClass][/code] attribute in C#.
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				class_name MyNode
				extends Node
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				using Godot;

				[GlobalClass]
				public partial class MyNode : Node
				{
				}
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_instance_base_type" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="StringName" />
			<description>
				Returns the script's base type.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_property_default_value">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<param index="0" name="property" type="StringName" />
			<description>
				Returns the default value of the specified property.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_rpc_config" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Returns a [Dictionary] mapping method names to their RPC configuration defined by this script.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_script_constant_map">
			<return type="Dictionary" />
			<description>
				Returns a dictionary containing constant names and their values.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_script_method_list">
			<return type="Dictionary[]" />
			<description>
				Returns the list of methods in this [Script].
				[b]Note:[/b] The dictionaries returned by this method are formatted identically to those returned by [method Object.get_method_list].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_script_property_list">
			<return type="Dictionary[]" />
			<description>
				Returns the list of properties in this [Script].
				[b]Note:[/b] The dictionaries returned by this method are formatted identically to those returned by [method Object.get_property_list].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_script_signal_list">
			<return type="Dictionary[]" />
			<description>
				Returns the list of user signals defined in this [Script].
				[b]Note:[/b] The dictionaries returned by this method are formatted identically to those returned by [method Object.get_signal_list].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="has_script_signal" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="signal_name" type="StringName" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the script, or a base class, defines a signal with the given name.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="has_source_code" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the script contains non-empty source code.
				[b]Note:[/b] If a script does not have source code, this does not mean that it is invalid or unusable. For example, a [GDScript] that was exported with binary tokenization has no source code, but still behaves as expected and could be instantiated. This can be checked with [method can_instantiate].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="instance_has" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="base_object" type="Object" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if [param base_object] is an instance of this script.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="is_abstract" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the script is an abstract script. An abstract script does not have a constructor and cannot be instantiated.

		</method>
		<method name="is_tool" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
