Method Descriptions

void add_constant_central_force(force: Vector2 = Vector2(0, 0)) 🔗

Adds a constant directional force without affecting rotation that keeps being applied over time until cleared with constant_force = Vector2(0, 0).

This is equivalent to using add_constant_force at the body’s center of mass.

void add_constant_force(force: Vector2, position: Vector2 = Vector2(0, 0)) 🔗

Adds a constant positioned force to the body that keeps being applied over time until cleared with constant_force = Vector2(0, 0).

position is the offset from the body origin in global coordinates.

void add_constant_torque(torque: float) 🔗

Adds a constant rotational force without affecting position that keeps being applied over time until cleared with constant_torque = 0.

void apply_central_force(force: Vector2 = Vector2(0, 0)) 🔗

Applies a directional force without affecting rotation. A force is time dependent and meant to be applied every physics update.

This is equivalent to using apply_force at the body’s center of mass.

void apply_central_impulse(impulse: Vector2) 🔗

Applies a directional impulse without affecting rotation.

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 (use the “_force” functions otherwise).

This is equivalent to using apply_impulse at the body’s center of mass.

void apply_force(force: Vector2, position: Vector2 = Vector2(0, 0)) 🔗

Applies a positioned force to the body. A force is time dependent and meant to be applied every physics update.

position is the offset from the body origin in global coordinates.

void apply_impulse(impulse: Vector2, position: Vector2 = Vector2(0, 0)) 🔗

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 (use the “_force” functions otherwise).

position is the offset from the body origin in global coordinates.

void apply_torque(torque: float) 🔗

Applies a rotational force without affecting position. A force is time dependent and meant to be applied every physics update.

Note: inverse_inertia is required for this to work. To have inverse_inertia, an active CollisionShape2D must be a child of the node, or you can manually set inverse_inertia.

void apply_torque_impulse(impulse: float) 🔗

Applies a rotational impulse to the body without affecting the position.

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 (use the “_force” functions otherwise).

Note: inverse_inertia is required for this to work. To have inverse_inertia, an active CollisionShape2D must be a child of the node, or you can manually set inverse_inertia.
