<brief_description>
Physics Body whose position is determined through physics simulation in 3D space.
</brief_description>
<description>
This is the node that implements full 3D physics. This means that you do not control a RigidBody directly. Instead, you can apply forces to it (gravity, impulses, etc.), and the physics simulation will calculate the resulting movement, collision, bouncing, rotating, etc.
A RigidBody has 4 behavior [member mode]s: Rigid, Static, Character, and Kinematic.
[b]Note:[/b] Don't change a RigidBody's position every frame or very often. Sporadic changes work fine, but physics runs at a different granularity (fixed Hz) than usual rendering (process callback) and maybe even in a separate thread, so changing this from a process loop may result in strange behavior. If you need to directly affect the body's state, use [method _integrate_forces], which allows you to directly access the physics state.
If you need to override the default physics behavior, you can write a custom force integration function. See [member custom_integrator].

<methods>
<method name="_integrate_forces" qualifiers="virtual">
<return type="void">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="state" type="PhysicsDirectBodyState">
</argument>
<description>
Called during physics processing, allowing you to read and safely modify the simulation state for the object. By default, it works in addition to the usual physics behavior, but the [member custom_integrator] property allows you to disable the default behavior and do fully custom force integration for a body.

<method name="add_central_force">
<return type="void">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="force" type="Vector3">
</argument>
<description>
Adds a constant directional force without affecting rotation.
This is equivalent to [code]add_force(force, Vector3(0,0,0))[/code].
</description>
</method>
<method name="add_force">
<return type="void">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="force" type="Vector3">
</argument>
<argument index="1" name="position" type="Vector3">
</argument>
<description>
Adds a constant force (i.e. acceleration).
</description>
</method>
<method name="add_torque">
<return type="void">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="torque" type="Vector3">
</argument>
<description>
Adds a constant rotational force (i.e. a motor) without affecting position.
</description>
</method>
<method name="apply_central_impulse">
<return type="void">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="impulse" type="Vector3">
</argument>
<description>
Applies a directional impulse without affecting rotation.
This is equivalent to [code]apply_impulse(Vector3(0,0,0), impulse)[/code].
</description>
</method>
<method name="apply_impulse">
<return type="void">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="position" type="Vector3">
</argument>
<argument index="1" name="impulse" type="Vector3">
</argument>
<description>
Applies a positioned impulse to the body. An impulse is time independent! Applying an impulse every frame would result in a framerate-dependent force. For this reason it should only be used when simulating one-time impacts. The position uses the rotation of the global coordinate system, but is centered at the object's origin.
</description>
</method>
<method name="apply_torque_impulse">
<return type="void">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="impulse" type="Vector3">
</argument>
<description>
Applies a torque impulse which will be affected by the body mass and shape. This will rotate the body around the [code]impulse[/code] vector passed.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_colliding_bodies" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Array">
</return>
<description>
Returns a list of the bodies colliding with this one. By default, number of max contacts reported is at 0, see the [member contacts_reported] property to increase it.
[b]Note:[/b] The result of this test is not immediate after moving objects. For performance, list of collisions is updated once per frame and before the physics step. Consider using signals instead.
</description>
</method>
<method name="set_axis_velocity">
<return type="void">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="axis_velocity" type="Vector3">
</argument>
<description>

RigidBody's bounciness.
</member>
<member name="can_sleep" type="bool" setter="set_can_sleep" getter="is_able_to_sleep">
If [code]true[/code], the RigidBody will not calculate forces and will act as a static body while there is no movement. It will wake up when forces are applied through other collisions or when the [code]apply_impulse[/code] method is used.
</member>
<member name="contact_monitor" type="bool" setter="set_contact_monitor" getter="is_contact_monitor_enabled">
If [code]true[/code], the RigidBody will emit signals when it collides with another RigidBody.
</member>
<member name="contacts_reported" type="int" setter="set_max_contacts_reported" getter="get_max_contacts_reported">
The maximum contacts to report. Bodies can keep a log of the contacts with other bodies, this is enabled by setting the maximum amount of contacts reported to a number greater than 0.
</member>
<member name="continuous_cd" type="bool" setter="set_use_continuous_collision_detection" getter="is_using_continuous_collision_detection">
If [code]true[/code], continuous collision detection is used.
Continuous collision detection tries to predict where a moving body will collide, instead of moving it and correcting its movement if it collided. Continuous collision detection is more precise, and misses fewer impacts by small, fast-moving objects. Not using continuous collision detection is faster to compute, but can miss small, fast-moving objects.
</member>
<member name="custom_integrator" type="bool" setter="set_use_custom_integrator" getter="is_using_custom_integrator">
If [code]true[/code], internal force integration will be disabled (like gravity or air friction) for this body. Other than collision response, the body will only move as determined by the [method _integrate_forces] function, if defined.

The body's friction, from 0 (frictionless) to 1 (max friction).

This is multiplied by the global 3D gravity setting found in [b]Project &gt; Project Settings &gt; Physics &gt; 3d[/b] to produce RigidBody's gravity. For example, a value of 1 will be normal gravity, 2 will apply double gravity, and 0.5 will apply half gravity to this object.
</member>
<member name="linear_damp" type="float" setter="set_linear_damp" getter="get_linear_damp">
The body's linear damp. Default value: -1, cannot be less than -1. If this value is different from -1, any linear damp derived from the world or areas will be overridden.
</member>
<member name="linear_velocity" type="Vector3" setter="set_linear_velocity" getter="get_linear_velocity">
The body's linear velocity. Can be used sporadically, but [b]don't set this every frame[/b], because physics may run in another thread and runs at a different granularity. Use [method _integrate_forces] as your process loop for precise control of the body state.
</member>
<member name="mass" type="float" setter="set_mass" getter="get_mass">
The body's mass.
</member>
<member name="mode" type="int" setter="set_mode" getter="get_mode" enum="RigidBody.Mode">
