This is a legacy of Godot 2 days before the inspector had support for groups.
"Properties" with a slash in their name can't be accessed from script unless
using `set()`/`get()` so they were not actual properties as far as script
languages are concerned.
Part of #17558.
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
Clarifies in the description for each method that the `up_direction` and `floor_max_angle`
properties are used to determine the status of a collided surface.
Allows 2D character controller to work without applying gravity when
touching the ground (also more safely in 3D), and collision detection
is more flexible with different safe margin values.
Character body motion changes in 2D and 3D:
-Recovery only for depth > min contact depth to help with collision
detection consistency (rest info could be lost if recovery was too much)
-Adaptive min contact depth (based on margin) instead of space parameter
Extra CharacterBody changes:
-2D: apply changes made in 3D for stop on slope and floor snap that help
fixing some jittering cases
-3D: fix minor inconsistencies in stop on slope and floor snap logic
Instead of having a physics node named Static that can be either Static
or Kinematic, AnimatableBody is added again as a separate node:
-Inherited from StaticBody to make its usage clearer
-Still separated from CharacterBody to make its usage more focused
Properly implemented constant velocity for kinematic bodies in godot
physics servers (induced velocity without actually moving).
Also updated description for the different physics nodes to make their
usage clearer.
Changes:
- Rename few methods/property and group them in the editor when it's possible
- Make MotionResult API consistency with KinematicCollision
- Return a boolean in move_and_slide if there was a collision
- New methods:
- get_floor_angle on CharacterBody to get the floor angle.
- get_angle on KinematicCollision to get the collision angle.
- get_last_slide_collision to quickly get the latest collision of move_and_slide.
Infinite inertia:
Not needed anymore, since it's now possible to set one-directional
collision layers in order for characters to ignore rigid bodies, while
rigid bodies still collide with characters.
Ray shapes:
They were introduced as a work around to allow constant speed on slopes,
which is now possible with the new property in CharacterBody instead.
Same thing that was already done in 2D, applies moving platform motion
by using a call to move_and_collide that excludes the platform itself,
instead of making it part of the body motion.
Helps with handling walls and slopes correctly when the character walks
on the moving platform.
Also made some minor adjustments to the 2D version and documentation.

For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
Now static body is used for moving platforms through kinematic motion
property, so sync to physics needs to be in StaticBody2D instead of
CharacterBody2D.
Constant kinematic motion is also supported in combination with sync to
physics for smoother movements.
* Functions to convert to/from degrees are all gone. Conversion is done by the editor.
* Use PROPERTY_HINT_ANGLE instead of PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE to edit radian angles in degrees.
* Added possibility to add suffixes to range properties, use "min,max[,step][,suffix:<something>]" example "0,100,1,suffix:m"
* In general, can add suffixes for EditorSpinSlider
Not covered by this PR, will have to be addressed by future ones:
* Ability to switch radians/degrees in the inspector for angle properties (if actually wanted).
* Animations previously made will most likely break, need to add a way to make old ones compatible.
* Only added a "px" suffix to 2D position and a "m" one to 3D position, someone needs to go through the rest of the engine and add all remaining suffixes.
* Likely also need to track down usage of EditorSpinSlider outside properties to add suffixes to it too.
CharacterBody has a linear_velocity property to replace the argument in
move_and_slide.
StaticBody handles reporting linear/angular velocity correctly when
kinematic motion is used (in 3D, used in vehicle and navigation).
Safe margin property on CharacterBody only, used as argument in
move_and_collide.
Removed kinematic_safe_margin in 3D physics server, not really useful
and now harmonized with 2D.
Does the same thing as simulate motion from RigidBody in Kinematic mode,
and CharacterBody (previously KinematicBody).
Added support for constant linear/angular velocity with kinematic_motion
in StaticBody, which moves the body in physics.
Updated documentation for StaticBody and CharacterBody to describe their
functionalities more accurately.
MODE_DYNAMIC instead of MODE_RIGID
MODE_DYNAMIC_LOCKED instead of MODE_CHARACTER
No more special case for sleeping behavior for MODE_DYNAMIC_LOCKED
(MODE_CHARACTER was forcing the body not to sleep, which is redundant
with can_sleep and wasn't done in Bullet).
- snap property to replace move_and_slide_with_snap()
- floor_max_angle, stop_on_slope, infinite_inertia, max_slides,
up_direction properties to replace arguments from move_and_slide()
- up direction now defaults to Vector3.UP and Vector2.UP
PhysicsBody now has methods move_and_collide/test_move and needed
properties for these methods: safe margin, locked axes (3D only).
Moved collision_exceptions from StaticBody to PhysicsBody for 3D
(same as 2D, and conforms to documentation).
RigidBody doesn't have test_motion method anymore, it's now redundant
with PhysicsBody.test_move.
