Physics Tab

The Physics tab contains information on the physical properties of the Entity. These include the Mass, Density and Friction. It is also possible to add some default forces and set the forces of the thrusters.

To edit Physics properties go to the Physics tab for the entity - this is accessed by selecting an entity in the Entity Editor.

There is also a Simple Physics option that can be set by checking the box in Project Settings. This gives a basic physics simulation that is more efficient than the full physics system but more limited.

Physics Enabled	Setting the Physics Enabled property will specify whether the Entity uses physics or not. If Physics is enabled the forces such as gravity will be applied to the Entity and collisions will be more realistic. Not using physics is more efficient and can make the Entity more predictable and controllable.
2D Physics	If using physics then you can constrain the physical effects to a 2D plane. This will prevent items from moving out of their 2D axis if a collision occurs, for example
Mass	The Mass of the Entity is related to its weight. It affects how much force is required to move the object.
Density	The Density property refers to the weight in relation to its volume.
Restitution	The Restitution property affects the stability of the Entity and how long it takes an object to settle after falling.
Static Friction	The Static Friction property affects the amount of force required to get an object moving from idle.
Dynamic Friction	The Dynamic Friction property affects the amount of force required to keep an object moving once it is already in motion.
Linear Damping	The Linear Damping property affects the speed in which an object will stop moving.
Angular Damping	The Angular Damping property affects the speed in which an object will stop spinning.
Default Force	The amount of force which is constantly applied to the Entity. This can be used to counteract the force of gravity and allow the Entity to float, for example, or push the Entity through the level.
Thrust 1 (to 5) Force	The Thrust 1 Force property specifies how much force will be applied at the Thrust 1 tag when the user presses the Thrust 1 button on their controller.
