InstancePlaceholder
===================
**Inherits:** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`
Placeholder for the root :ref:`Node<class_Node>` of a :ref:`PackedScene<class_PackedScene>`.
Description
-----------
Turning on the option **Load As Placeholder** for an instantiated scene in the editor causes it to be replaced by an ``InstancePlaceholder`` when running the game, this will not replace the node in the editor. This makes it possible to delay actually loading the scene until calling :ref:`create_instance<class_InstancePlaceholder_method_create_instance>`. This is useful to avoid loading large scenes all at once by loading parts of it selectively.
The ``InstancePlaceholder`` does not have a transform. This causes any child nodes to be positioned relatively to the :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>` from point (0,0), rather than their parent as displayed in the editor. Replacing the placeholder with a scene with a transform will transform children relatively to their parent again.

Method Descriptions
-------------------
.. _class_InstancePlaceholder_method_create_instance:
- :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **create_instance** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` replace=false, :ref:`PackedScene<class_PackedScene>` custom_scene=null **)**
Not thread-safe. Use :ref:`Object.call_deferred<class_Object_method_call_deferred>` if calling from a thread.
----
.. _class_InstancePlaceholder_method_get_instance_path:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **get_instance_path** **(** **)** |const|
Gets the path to the :ref:`PackedScene<class_PackedScene>` resource file that is loaded by default when calling :ref:`create_instance<class_InstancePlaceholder_method_create_instance>`. Not thread-safe. Use :ref:`Object.call_deferred<class_Object_method_call_deferred>` if calling from a thread.
----
.. _class_InstancePlaceholder_method_get_stored_values:
- :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>` **get_stored_values** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` with_order=false **)**
.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |constructor| replace:: :abbr:`constructor (This method is used to construct a type.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
.. |operator| replace:: :abbr:`operator (This method describes a valid operator to use with this type as left-hand operand.)`
