So, I just landed on this error:
Condition "!ti->creation_func" is true. Returned: __null
Looking for it, I only found godotengine/godot-docs#3460, which kind of helps, but is about a very different situation.
I ended up figuring that I can't inherit from CanvasItem which isn't something you'd think since Node2D and Control do inherit from it. I just added a message to clarify that situation:
"Class '" + String(p_class) + "' or its base class cannot be instantiated.
Should make figuring out the issue easier.
