 			<description>
 				Sets [param source] code for the specified shader [param stage]. Equivalent to setting one of [member source_compute], [member source_fragment], [member source_tesselation_control], [member source_tesselation_evaluation] or [member source_vertex].
+				[b]Note:[/b] If you set the compute shader source code using this method directly, remember to remove the Godot-specific hint [code]#[compute][/code].
