RigidBody2D
Inherits PhysicsBody2D
A 2D physics body that is moved by a physics simulation.
Description
RigidBody2D implements full 2D physics. It cannot be controlled directly, instead, you must apply forces to it (gravity, impulses, etc.), and the physics simulation will calculate the resulting movement, rotation, react to collisions, and affect other physics bodies in its path. The body's behavior can be adjusted via lock_rotation, freeze, and freeze_mode. By changing various properties of the object, such as mass, you can control how the physics simulation acts on it. A rigid body will always maintain its shape and size, even when forces are applied to it. It is useful for objects that can be interacted with in an environment, such as a tree that can be knocked over or a stack of crates that can be pushed around. If you need to directly affect the body, prefer _integrate_forces() as it 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 custom_integrator. Note: Changing the 2D transform or linear_velocity of a RigidBody2D very often may lead to some unpredictable behaviors. This also happens when a RigidBody2D is the descendant of a constantly moving node, like another RigidBody2D, as that will cause its global transform to be set whenever its ancestor moves.
Properties
float angular_damp = 0.0
float angular_damp = 0.0Damps the body's rotation. By default, the body will use the ProjectSettings.physics/2d/default_angular_damp setting or any value override set by an Area2D the body is in. Depending on angular_damp_mode, you can set angular_damp to be added to or to replace the body's damping value. See ProjectSettings.physics/2d/default_angular_damp for more details about damping.
int angular_damp_mode = 0
int angular_damp_mode = 0Defines how angular_damp is applied.
float angular_velocity = 0.0
float angular_velocity = 0.0The body's rotational velocity in radians per second.
bool can_sleep = true
bool can_sleep = trueIf true, the body can enter sleep mode when there is no movement. See sleeping.
Vector2 center_of_mass = Vector2(0, 0)
Vector2 center_of_mass = Vector2(0, 0)The body's custom center of mass, relative to the body's origin position, when center_of_mass_mode is set to CENTER_OF_MASS_MODE_CUSTOM. This is the balanced point of the body, where applied forces only cause linear acceleration. Applying forces outside of the center of mass causes angular acceleration. When center_of_mass_mode is set to CENTER_OF_MASS_MODE_AUTO (default value), the center of mass is automatically determined, but this does not update the value of center_of_mass.
int center_of_mass_mode = 0
int center_of_mass_mode = 0Defines the way the body's center of mass is set.
Vector2 constant_force = Vector2(0, 0)
Vector2 constant_force = Vector2(0, 0)The body's total constant positional forces applied during each physics update. See add_constant_force() and add_constant_central_force().
float constant_torque = 0.0
float constant_torque = 0.0The body's total constant rotational forces applied during each physics update. See add_constant_torque().
bool contact_monitor = false
bool contact_monitor = falseIf true, the RigidBody2D will emit signals when it collides with another body. Note: By default the maximum contacts reported is set to 0, meaning nothing will be recorded, see max_contacts_reported.
int continuous_cd = 0
int continuous_cd = 0Continuous collision detection mode. Continuous collision detection tries to predict where a moving body will collide instead of moving it and correcting its movement after collision. Continuous collision detection is slower, but more precise and misses fewer collisions with small, fast-moving objects. Raycasting and shapecasting methods are available.
bool custom_integrator = false
bool custom_integrator = falseIf true, the standard force integration (like gravity or damping) will be disabled for this body. Other than collision response, the body will only move as determined by the _integrate_forces() method, if that virtual method is overridden. Setting this property will call the method PhysicsServer2D.body_set_omit_force_integration() internally.
bool freeze = false
bool freeze = falseIf true, the body is frozen. Gravity and forces are not applied anymore. See freeze_mode to set the body's behavior when frozen. For a body that is always frozen, use StaticBody2D or AnimatableBody2D instead.
int freeze_mode = 0
int freeze_mode = 0The body's freeze mode. Can be used to set the body's behavior when freeze is enabled. For a body that is always frozen, use StaticBody2D or AnimatableBody2D instead.
float gravity_scale = 1.0
float gravity_scale = 1.0Multiplies the gravity applied to the body. The body's gravity is calculated from the ProjectSettings.physics/2d/default_gravity project setting and/or any additional gravity vector applied by Area2Ds.
float inertia = 0.0
float inertia = 0.0The body's moment of inertia. This is like mass, but for rotation: it determines how much torque it takes to rotate the body. The moment of inertia is usually computed automatically from the mass and the shapes, but this property allows you to set a custom value. If set to 0, inertia is automatically computed (default value). Note: This value does not change when inertia is automatically computed. Use PhysicsServer2D to get the computed inertia.
@onready var ball = $Ball
func get_ball_inertia():
return 1.0 / PhysicsServer2D.body_get_direct_state(ball.get_rid()).inverse_inertia
private RigidBody2D _ball;
public override void _Ready()
{
_ball = GetNode<RigidBody2D>("Ball");
}
private float GetBallInertia()
{
return 1.0f / PhysicsServer2D.BodyGetDirectState(_ball.GetRid()).InverseInertia;
}
float linear_damp = 0.0
float linear_damp = 0.0Damps the body's movement. By default, the body will use the ProjectSettings.physics/2d/default_linear_damp setting or any value override set by an Area2D the body is in. Depending on linear_damp_mode, you can set linear_damp to be added to or to replace the body's damping value. See ProjectSettings.physics/2d/default_linear_damp for more details about damping.
int linear_damp_mode = 0
int linear_damp_mode = 0Defines how linear_damp is applied.
Vector2 linear_velocity = Vector2(0, 0)
Vector2 linear_velocity = Vector2(0, 0)The body's linear velocity in pixels per second. Can be used sporadically, but don't set this every frame, because physics may run in another thread and runs at a different granularity. Use _integrate_forces() as your process loop for precise control of the body state.
bool lock_rotation = false
bool lock_rotation = falseIf true, the body cannot rotate. Gravity and forces only apply linear movement.
float mass = 1.0
float mass = 1.0The body's mass.
int max_contacts_reported = 0
int max_contacts_reported = 0The maximum number of contacts that will be recorded. Requires a value greater than 0 and contact_monitor to be set to true to start to register contacts. Use get_contact_count() to retrieve the count or get_colliding_bodies() to retrieve bodies that have been collided with. Note: The number of contacts is different from the number of collisions. Collisions between parallel edges will result in two contacts (one at each end), and collisions between parallel faces will result in four contacts (one at each corner).
PhysicsMaterial physics_material_override
PhysicsMaterial physics_material_overrideThe physics material override for the body. If a material is assigned to this property, it will be used instead of any other physics material, such as an inherited one.
bool sleeping = false
bool sleeping = falseIf true, the body will not move and will not calculate forces until woken up by another body through, for example, a collision, or by using the apply_impulse() or apply_force() methods.
Methods
void _integrate_forces(PhysicsDirectBodyState2D state) virtual
PhysicsDirectBodyState2D state) virtualCalled during physics processing, allowing you to read and safely modify the simulation state for the object.

void add_constant_central_force(Vector2 force)
Vector2 force)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 apply_central_impulse(Vector2 impulse = Vector2(0, 0))
Vector2 impulse = Vector2(0, 0))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(Vector2 force, Vector2 position = Vector2(0, 0))
Vector2 force, Vector2 position = 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(Vector2 impulse, Vector2 position = Vector2(0, 0))
Vector2 impulse, Vector2 position = 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(float torque)
float torque)Applies a rotational force without affecting position. A force is time dependent and meant to be applied every physics update. Note: inertia is required for this to work. To have inertia, an active CollisionShape2D must be a child of the node, or you can manually set inertia.
void apply_torque_impulse(float torque)
float torque)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: inertia is required for this to work. To have inertia, an active CollisionShape2D must be a child of the node, or you can manually set inertia.
Node2D[] get_colliding_bodies() const
Returns a list of the bodies colliding with this one. Requires contact_monitor to be set to true and max_contacts_reported to be set high enough to detect all the collisions. Note: 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.
int get_contact_count() const
int get_contact_count() constReturns the number of contacts this body has with other bodies. By default, this returns 0 unless bodies are configured to monitor contacts (see contact_monitor). Note: To retrieve the colliding bodies, use get_colliding_bodies().
void set_axis_velocity(Vector2 axis_velocity)
Vector2 axis_velocity)Sets the body's velocity on the given axis. The velocity in the given vector axis will be set as the given vector length. This is useful for jumping behavior.
