Margin needs to have a high enough value for test body motion to work
properly (separate using the margin, move without then gather rest info
with the margin again).
Fixes issues with test motion returning no collision in some cases with
margin equal to 0.
Helps with discovery and setup of physics solver settings, in a specific
project settings section for both 2D and 3D.
Other changes for cleanup:
-Removed unused space parameters in 3D
SPACE_PARAM_BODY_ANGULAR_VELOCITY_DAMP_RATIO
SPACE_PARAM_CONSTRAINT_DEFAULT_BIAS
-Added custom solver bias for Shape3D (same as Shape2D)
-Improved documentation for solver settings
Clarified space parameters for contacts and added missing ones.
List of changes:
-Add contact bias to space parameters
-Add solver iterations to space parameters, instead of a specific
physics server function
-Renamed BODY_MAX_ALLOWED_PENETRATION to CONTACT_MAX_ALLOWED_PENETRATION
to make it consistent with other contact parameters
Changed the algorithm for solving contacts to keep previous contacts as
long as they are under the max separation threshold to keep contact
impulses more consistent and contacts more stable.
Also made 2D consistent with 3D and changed some default parameters:
-Contact bias is now 0.8 instead of 0.3 to avoid springy contacts
-Solver iterations are 16 instead of 8 by default for better stability
Performance considerations:
Tested with stress tests that include lots of contacts from overlapping
bodies.
3D: There's no measurable difference in performance.
2D: Performance is a bit lower (close to 10% slower in extreme cases)
The benefit for 2D physics to be much more stable outweighs the slight
decrease in performance, and this could be alleviated by changing the
algorithm to use jacobians for contact solving to help with cache
efficiency and memory allocations.
Bounce calculation now uses the previous frame's velocity, so it's
consistent with the actual motion of the bodies involved and not the
yet-to-be-applied forces.
When bounce is 1, using the current velocity was causing the new forces
(including gravity) to be taken into account, which lead to the bounce
velocity to be higher than the falling velocity at the moment of impact,
adding more and more energy over time.
Regression fix, gravity was accumulated between frames after some
changes around area gravity calculation.
Also got rid of unused member and method in soft body class.
Replaced the previous implementation for backface collision handling (in
test_axis function from SAT algorithm) with much simpler logic in the
collision generation phase with face shapes, in order to get rid of
wrong contacts when backface collision is disabled.
Now it just ignores the generated collision if the contact normal is
against the face normal, with a threshold to keep edge contacts.
Added a special case for soft bodies to invert the collision instead of
ignoring it, because for now it's the best solution to avoid soft bodies
to go through concave shapes (they use small spheres). This might be
replaced with a better algorithm for soft bodies later.
Updating the broadphase to find new collision pairs was done after
checking for collision islands, so it was working in most cases due to
the pairing margin used in the BVH, but in case of teleported objects
the narrowphase collision could be skipped.
Now it's done before checking for collision islands, so we can ensure
that broadphase pairing has been done at the same time as objects are
marked as moved so their collision can be checked properly.
This issue didn't happen in the Octree/HashGrid because they do nothing
on update and trigger pairs directly when objects move instead.
In all physics servers, body_get_direct_state() now silently returns
nullptr when the body has been already freed or is removed from space,
so the client code can detect this state and invalidate the body rid.
In 2D, there is no change in behavior (just no more errors).
In 3D, the Bullet server returned a valid direct body state when the
body was removed from the physics space, but in this case it didn't
make sense to use the information from the body state.
Center of mass in body's local space is more useful than the transformed
one in some cases, like drawing its position for debug.
It's especially useful to get the generated local center of mass when
in auto mode (by default).
Physics Server BODY_PARAM_CENTER_OF_MASS:
Now always returns the local center of mass, instead of setting a local
center of mass and getting a transformed one.
This causes compatibility breaking, but it makes more sense for the
parameter to be consistent between getter and setter.
Direct Body State:
There are now two properties, because both of them can be useful in
different situations.
center_of_mass: relative position in global coordinates (same as before)
center_of_mass_local: position in local coordinates
Same as what is already done for shape queries, applied to point and ray
queries. Easier to document and more flexible to add more parameters.
Also expose intersect_point method to script in 3D.
Remove intersect_point_on_canvas in 2D, replaced with a parameter.
Sets `AlignOperands` to `DontAlign`.
`clang-format` developers seem to mostly care about space-based indentation and
every other version of clang-format breaks the bad mismatch of tabs and spaces
that it seems to use for operand alignment. So it's better without, so that it
respects our two-tabs `ContinuationIndentWidth`.
Damping values are now non-negative.
Add new properties linear_damp_mode and angular_damp_mode to set the way
RigidDynamicBody and PhysicalBone (2D & 3D) use damping values.
It can now be Combine (default) to add to the default/areas, or Replace
to override the value completely (current behavior).
* Made the Basis euler orders indexed via enum.
* Node3D has a new rotation_order property to choose Euler rotation order.
* Node3D has also a rotation_mode property to choose between Euler, Quaternion and Basis
Exposing these modes as well as the order makes Godot a lot friendlier for animators, which can choose the best way to interpolate rotations.
The new *Basis* mode makes the (exposed) transform property obsolete, so it was removed (can still be accessed by code of course).
Changing the collision layer of a sleeping body was not triggering area
updates correctly.
Bodies need to be active for collision to be checked against already
overlapping bodies and areas.
Neighbors need to be activated too in order to handle the case where a
static body is modified (it can't be activated directly but paired
bodies need to check their collision again).
In 3D, moved the call to wakeup() from the physics server to
GodotBody3D::_shapes_changed to make it consistent with 2D and also
handle the case where shapes are modified (_shapes_changed is called in
both this case and collision layer changes).
Proper logic for changing physics state when disabled and disabled mode
is changed (it was unnecessarily making calls to re-initialize physics).
Extra error handling in soft body implementations to avoid crashes with
invalid mesh.
Same logic as what was done in 3D, applied to 2D center of mass.
Also did some minor cleanup in 3D and fixed center of mass transform
during the first frame after teleporting a dynamic body.
Added a parameter in test_body_motion to exclude attached objects from
collision, used to avoid collision with all TileMap tiles with moving
platform motion instead of just the one tile the character touches.
Same changes made in 3D for consistency, and handling potential similar
cases.
-Physics servers test body motion use a class to hold parameters instead
of multiple arguments to make it more readable and flexible since there
are many options
-Improved documentation for test body motion and kinematic collision
-Removed read-only properties for body motion results (not handled in
scripts, so they should be get_ methods only instead)
Shape metadata was only used to get tile information when colliding with
tilemaps. It's not needed anymore since there's an API in tilemap using
body ids instead.
