<method name="build_box_planes">
<return type="Plane[]" />
<param index="0" name="extents" type="Vector3" />
<description>
Returns an array with 6 [Plane]s that describe the sides of a box centered at the origin. The box size is defined by [param extents], which represents one (positive) corner of the box (i.e. half its actual size).

<description>
Returns an array of [Plane]s closely bounding a faceted capsule centered at the origin with radius [param radius] and height [param height]. The parameter [param sides] defines how many planes will be generated for the side part of the capsule, whereas [param lats] gives the number of latitudinal steps at the bottom and top of the capsule. The parameter [param axis] describes the axis along which the capsule is oriented (0 for X, 1 for Y, 2 for Z).

<description>
Returns an array of [Plane]s closely bounding a faceted cylinder centered at the origin with radius [param radius] and height [param height]. The parameter [param sides] defines how many planes will be generated for the round part of the cylinder. The parameter [param axis] describes the axis along which the cylinder is oriented (0 for X, 1 for Y, 2 for Z).

<param index="2" name="s2" type="Vector3" />
<description>
Returns the 3D point on the 3D segment ([param s1], [param s2]) that is closest to [param point]. The returned point will always be inside the specified segment.

<param index="0" name="point" type="Vector3" />
<param index="1" name="s1" type="Vector3" />
<param index="2" name="s2" type="Vector3" />
<description>
Returns the 3D point on the 3D line defined by ([param s1], [param s2]) that is closest to [param point]. The returned point can be inside the segment ([param s1], [param s2]) or outside of it, i.e. somewhere on the line extending from the segment.

<method name="get_closest_points_between_segments">
<return type="PackedVector3Array" />
<param index="0" name="p1" type="Vector3" />
<param index="1" name="p2" type="Vector3" />
<param index="2" name="q1" type="Vector3" />
<param index="3" name="q2" type="Vector3" />
<description>
Given the two 3D segments ([param p1], [param p2]) and ([param q1], [param q2]), finds those two points on the two segments that are closest to each other. Returns a [PackedVector3Array] that contains this point on ([param p1], [param p2]) as well the accompanying point on ([param q1], [param q2]).

<method name="get_triangle_barycentric_coords">
<return type="Vector3" />
<param index="0" name="point" type="Vector3" />
<param index="1" name="a" type="Vector3" />
<param index="2" name="b" type="Vector3" />
<param index="3" name="c" type="Vector3" />
<description>
Returns a [Vector3] containing weights based on how close a 3D position ([param point]) is to a triangle's different vertices ([param a], [param b] and [param c]). This is useful for interpolating between the data of different vertices in a triangle. One example use case is using this to smoothly rotate over a mesh instead of relying solely on face normals.

<param index="3" name="b" type="Vector3" />
<param index="4" name="c" type="Vector3" />
<description>
Tests if the 3D ray starting at [param from] with the direction of [param dir] intersects the triangle specified by [param a], [param b] and [param c]. If yes, returns the point of intersection as [Vector3]. If no intersection takes place, returns [code]null[/code].

<description>
Given a convex hull defined though the [Plane]s in the array [param planes], tests if the segment ([param from], [param to]) intersects with that hull. If an intersection is found, returns a [PackedVector3Array] containing the point the intersection and the hull's normal. Otherwise, returns an empty array.
