Resolved a problem with PhysicsDirectBodyState3D sometimes returning incorrect contact positions and added a new get_contact_local_velocity_at_position method to compliment the existing one for the collider.
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.
Makes the API for forces and impulses more flexible, easier to
understand and harmonized between 2D and 3D.
Rigid bodies now have 3 sets of methods for forces and impulses:
-apply_impulse() for impulses (one-shot and time independent)
-apply_force() for forces (time dependent) applied for the current step
-add_constant_force() for forces that keeps being applied each step
Also updated the documentation to clarify the different methods and
parameters in rigid body nodes, body direct state and physics servers.
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
Changes:
-Added support for custom inertia and center of mass in 3D
-Added support for custom center of mass in 2D
-Calculated center of mass from shapes in 2D (same as in 3D)
-Fixed mass properties calculation with disabled shapes in 2D/3D
-Removed first_integration which is not used in 2D and doesn't seem to
make a lot of sense (prevents omit_force_integration to work during the
first frame)
-Support for custom inertia on different axes for RigidBody3D
When synchronizing CharacterBody motion with moving the platform using
direct body state, only the linear velocity was taken into account.
This change exposes velocity at local point in direct body state and
uses it in move_and_slide to get the proper velocity that includes
rotations.
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.
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).
