GD0107: Types not derived from Node should not export Node members

Rule ID	GD0107
Category	Usage
Fix is breaking or non-breaking	Breaking
Enabled by default	Yes

Cause

A type that doesn't derive from Node contains an exported field or property of a type that derives from Node.

Rule description

Exported nodes are serialized as NodePath. Only types derived from Node are able to get the node instance from the NodePath.

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, avoid exporting Node members on a type that doesn't derive from Node, or consider exporting a NodePath.

When to suppress warnings

Do not suppress a warning from this rule. Types that don't derive from Node will be unable to retrieve the right node instance for exported Node members, resulting in unexpected runtime errors.
