Hi and thank you for answer me.
I tried your method (changing a few things) and it worked fine for the player to become a mouse, but when I use it backwards it gave me the following error:

Parser Error: Can't preload resource at path: res://Objets/Player/Player.tscn

There is the code:

func TurnIntoAHuman():
    old_node = Player
    var nextNode = preload("res://Objets/Player/Player.tscn")
    var new_node = nextNode.instance()
    parent.remove_child(old_node)
    parent.add_child(new_node)
    new_node.name = old_node.name
    new_node.position = old_node.position

How can i solved this?
