RigidBody3D implements full 3D 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 override the default physics behavior, you can write a custom force integration function. See custom_integrator.
Emitted when a collision with another PhysicsBody3D or GridMap occurs. Requires contact_monitor to be set to true

Emitted when the physics engine changes the body's sleeping state.
Note: Changing the value sleeping will not trigger this signal. It is only emitted if the sleeping state is changed by the physics engine or emit_signal("sleeping_state_changed")
is used.
FREEZE_MODE_STATIC = 0
Static body freeze mode (default). The body is not affected by gravity and forces. It can be only moved by user code and doesn't collide with other bodies along its path.
FREEZE_MODE_KINEMATIC = 1
Kinematic body freeze mode. Similar to FREEZE_MODE_STATIC, but collides with other bodies along its path when moved. Useful for a frozen body that needs to be animated.
CENTER_OF_MASS_MODE_AUTO = 0
In this mode, the body's center of mass is calculated automatically based on its shapes. This assumes that the shapes' origins are also their center of mass.
CENTER_OF_MASS_MODE_CUSTOM = 1
In this mode, the body's center of mass is set through center_of_mass. Defaults to the body's origin position.
DAMP_MODE_COMBINE = 0
In this mode, the body's damping value is added to any value set in areas or the default value.
DAMP_MODE_REPLACE = 1
In this mode, the body's damping value replaces any value set in areas or the default value.
Damps the body's rotation. By default, the body will use the ProjectSettings.physics/3d/default_angular_damp project setting or any value override set by an Area3D 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/3d/default_angular_damp for more details about damping.
Defines how angular_damp is applied. See DampMode for possible values.
The RigidBody3D's rotational velocity in radians per second.
If true
, the body can enter sleep mode when there is no movement. See sleeping.
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 computed.
Defines the way the body's center of mass is set. See CenterOfMassMode for possible values.
The body's total constant positional forces applied during each physics update.
The body's total constant rotational forces applied during each physics update.
If true
, the RigidBody3D 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.
If true
, 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.
If 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 PhysicsServer3D.body_set_omit_force_integration() internally.
If 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 StaticBody3D or AnimatableBody3D instead.
The body's freeze mode. Can be used to set the body's behavior when freeze is enabled. See FreezeMode for possible values.
For a body that is always frozen, use StaticBody3D or AnimatableBody3D instead.
This is multiplied by ProjectSettings.physics/3d/default_gravity to produce this body's gravity. For example, a value of 1.0
will apply normal gravity, 2.0
will apply double the gravity, and 0.5
will apply half the gravity to this body.
The body's moment of inertia. This is like mass, but for rotation: it determines how much torque it takes to rotate the body on each axis. 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 Vector3.ZERO, inertia is automatically computed (default value).
Note: This value does not change when inertia is automatically computed. Use PhysicsServer3D to get the computed inertia.
Damps the body's movement. By default, the body will use the ProjectSettings.physics/3d/default_linear_damp project setting or any value override set by an Area3D 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/3d/default_linear_damp for more details about damping.
Defines how linear_damp is applied. See DampMode for possible values.
The body's linear velocity in units 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.
If true
, the body cannot rotate. Gravity and forces only apply linear movement.
The body's mass.
The 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).
The 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.
If 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.
Called during physics processing, allowing you to read and safely modify the simulation state for the object. By default, it is called before the standard force integration, but the custom_integrator property allows you to disable the standard force integration and do fully custom force integration for a body.
Adds a constant directional force without affecting rotation that keeps being applied over time until cleared with constant_force = Vector3(0, 0, 0)
.
This is equivalent to using add_constant_force() at the body's center of mass.
Adds a constant positioned force to the body that keeps being applied over time until cleared with constant_force = Vector3(0, 0, 0)
.
position
is the offset from the body origin in global coordinates.
Adds a constant rotational force without affecting position that keeps being applied over time until cleared with constant_torque = Vector3(0, 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.
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.

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 CollisionShape3D must be a child of the node, or you can manually set inertia.

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.
Returns 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().
Returns the inverse inertia tensor basis. This is used to calculate the angular acceleration resulting from a torque applied to the RigidBody3D.
Sets an axis velocity. The velocity in the given vector axis will be set as the given vector length. This is useful for jumping behavior.
