	<description>
		Event-based Hierarchical State Machine (HSM).
		Manages [LimboState] instances and transitions between them. LimboHSM is a [LimboState] itself, and can be a child of another LimboHSM instance.

			<param index="0" name="p_from_state" type="Node" />
			<param index="1" name="p_to_state" type="Node" />
			<param index="2" name="p_event" type="String" />
			<description>
				Adds a transition from one state to another when [code]p_event[/code] is dispatched.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_active_state" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="LimboState" />
			<description>
				Returns active state.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_leaf_state" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="LimboState" />
			<description>
				Returns the leaf state that is currently active in HSM.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="initialize">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="p_agent" type="Node" />
			<param index="1" name="p_parent_scope" type="Blackboard" default="null" />
			<description>
				Initializes state and calls [code]_setup[/code] for itself and every substate.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="set_active">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="p_active" type="bool" />
			<description>
				If [code]true[/code], changes state to [member initial_state] and enables state processing depending on [member update_mode].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="update">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="p_delta" type="float" />
			<description>
				Calls [method LimboState._update] on itself and on the active substate. Call propagates down to the leaf state.
				It is called automatically, if [member update_mode] is not set to [constant MANUAL].
