		<member name="angular_damp" type="float" setter="set_angular_damp" getter="get_angular_damp">
			The rate at which objects stop spinning in this area. Represents the angular velocity lost per second. Values range from [code]0[/code] (no damping) to [code]1[/code] (full damping).

		<member name="collision_layer" type="int" setter="set_collision_layer" getter="get_collision_layer">
			The area's physics layer(s). Collidable objects can exist in any of 32 different layers. A contact is detected if object A is in any of the layers that object B scans, or object B is in any layers that object A scans. See also [code]collision_mask[/code].

		<member name="gravity" type="float" setter="set_gravity" getter="get_gravity">
			The area's gravity intensity (ranges from -1024 to 1024). This value multiplies the gravity vector. This is useful to alter the force of gravity without altering its direction.

		<member name="gravity_distance_scale" type="float" setter="set_gravity_distance_scale" getter="get_gravity_distance_scale">

			If [code]true[/code] gravity is calculated from a point (set via [code]gravity_vec[/code]). Also see [code]space_override[/code]. Default value: [code]false[/code].
		</member>
		<member name="gravity_vec" type="Vector3" setter="set_gravity_vector" getter="get_gravity_vector">
			The area's gravity vector (not normalized). If gravity is a point (see [method is_gravity_a_point]), this will be the point of attraction.
		</member>
		<member name="linear_damp" type="float" setter="set_linear_damp" getter="get_linear_damp">
			The rate at which objects stop moving in this area. Represents the linear velocity lost per second. Values range from [code]0[/code] (no damping) to [code]1[/code] (full damping).

			The area's priority. Higher priority areas are processed first. Default value: 0.
