Property Descriptions

float Mass = 1.0 🔗

Mass of the DynamicEntity in kg.

---

Vector2 constant_force = Vector2(0, 0) 🔗

Constant Forces being applied. Reset this with constant_force = Vector2(0, 0) to remove all constant forces.

void add_constant_central_force(force: Vector2) 🔗

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

---

void apply_central_force(force: Vector2) 🔗

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

---

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).
