  • void body_set_axis_velocity ( RID body, Vector3 axis_velocity )

Sets an axis velocity. The velocity in the given vector axis will be set as the given vector length. This is useful for jumping behavior.


  • void body_set_collision_layer ( RID body, int layer )

Sets the physics layer or layers a body belongs to.


  • void body_set_collision_mask ( RID body, int mask )

Sets the physics layer or layers a body can collide with.


  • void body_set_enable_continuous_collision_detection ( RID body, bool enable )

If true, the continuous collision detection mode is enabled.

Continuous collision detection tries to predict where a moving body will collide, instead of moving it and correcting its movement if it collided.


  • void body_set_force_integration_callback ( RID body, Object receiver, String method, Variant userdata=null )

Sets the function used to calculate physics for an object, if that object allows it (see body_set_omit_force_integration).


  • void body_set_kinematic_safe_margin ( RID body, float margin )


  • void body_set_max_contacts_reported ( RID body, int amount )

Sets the maximum contacts to report. Bodies can keep a log of the contacts with other bodies, this is enabled by setting the maximum amount of contacts reported to a number greater than 0.


Sets the body mode, from one of the BodyMode constants.


  • void body_set_omit_force_integration ( RID body, bool enable )

Sets whether a body uses a callback function to calculate its own physics (see body_set_force_integration_callback).


Sets a body parameter. A list of available parameters is on the BodyParameter constants.


  • void body_set_ray_pickable ( RID body, bool enable )

Sets the body pickable with rays if enabled is set.


  • void body_set_shape ( RID body, int shape_idx, RID shape )

Substitutes a given body shape by another. The old shape is selected by its index, the new one by its RID.


  • void body_set_shape_disabled ( RID body, int shape_idx, bool disabled )


  • void body_set_shape_transform ( RID body, int shape_idx, Transform transform )

Sets the transform matrix for a body shape.


  • void body_set_space ( RID body, RID space )

Assigns a space to the body (see space_create).


Sets a body state (see BodyState constants).


Gets a cone_twist_joint parameter (see ConeTwistJointParam constants).


Sets a cone_twist_joint parameter (see ConeTwistJointParam constants).


  • void free_rid ( RID rid )

Destroys any of the objects created by PhysicsServer. If the RID passed is not one of the objects that can be created by PhysicsServer, an error will be sent to the console.


Gets a generic_6_DOF_joint flag (see G6DOFJointAxisFlag constants).


Gets a generic_6_DOF_joint parameter (see G6DOFJointAxisParam constants).


Sets a generic_6_DOF_joint flag (see G6DOFJointAxisFlag constants).


Sets a generic_6_DOF_joint parameter (see G6DOFJointAxisParam constants).


Returns an Info defined by the ProcessInfo input given.


Gets a hinge_joint flag (see HingeJointFlag constants).


Gets a hinge_joint parameter (see HingeJointParam).


Sets a hinge_joint flag (see HingeJointFlag constants).


Sets a hinge_joint parameter (see HingeJointParam constants).


Creates a ConeTwistJoint.


Creates a Generic6DOFJoint.


Creates a HingeJoint.


Creates a PinJoint.


Creates a SliderJoint.


  • int joint_get_solver_priority ( RID joint ) const

Gets the priority value of the Joint.


Returns the type of the Joint.


  • void joint_set_solver_priority ( RID joint, int priority )

Sets the priority value of the Joint.


  • Vector3 pin_joint_get_local_a ( RID joint ) const

Returns position of the joint in the local space of body a of the joint.


  • Vector3 pin_joint_get_local_b ( RID joint ) const

Returns position of the joint in the local space of body b of the joint.


Gets a pin_joint parameter (see PinJointParam constants).


  • void pin_joint_set_local_a ( RID joint, Vector3 local_A )

Sets position of the joint in the local space of body a of the joint.


  • void pin_joint_set_local_b ( RID joint, Vector3 local_B )

Sets position of the joint in the local space of body b of the joint.


Sets a pin_joint parameter (see PinJointParam constants).


  • void set_active ( bool active )

Activates or deactivates the 3D physics engine.


Creates a shape of a type from ShapeType. Does not assign it to a body or an area. To do so, you must use area_set_shape or body_set_shape.


Returns the shape data.


Returns the type of shape (see ShapeType constants).


Sets the shape data that defines its shape and size. The data to be passed depends on the kind of shape created shape_get_type.


Gets a slider_joint parameter (see SliderJointParam constants).


Gets a slider_joint parameter (see SliderJointParam constants).


  • RID space_create ( )

Creates a space. A space is a collection of parameters for the physics engine that can be assigned to an area or a body. It can be assigned to an area with area_set_space, or to a body with body_set_space.


Returns the state of a space, a PhysicsDirectSpaceState. This object can be used to make collision/intersection queries.


Returns the value of a space parameter.


  • bool space_is_active ( RID space ) const

Returns whether the space is active.


  • void space_set_active ( RID space, bool active )

Marks a space as active. It will not have an effect, unless it is assigned to an area or body.


Sets the value for a space parameter. A list of available parameters is on the SpaceParameter constants.
