BodyType

enum BodyType : Enum<BodyType>

Physics body type.

Determines how the physics engine treats the body during simulation.

Types

Static — immovable body. Not affected by forces, gravity, impulses, or collisions in terms of movement. Other bodies collide with it. Use for boundaries, floors, obstacles.
Dynamic — fully simulated body. Affected by forces and gravity, collides, and responds to impulses. This is the default for typical “falling/stacking” UI elements.
Kinematic — body with infinite mass that is moved by setting its velocity (or transform) by the user/engine. It is not affected by forces/gravity, but it can push dynamic bodies. Use for moving platforms or scripted motion.

Notes

Only Dynamic bodies use PhysicsBodyConfig.density for mass computation.
Drag interactions usually target Dynamic bodies; dragging Static/Kinematic is typically either ignored or treated as direct repositioning (engine-specific).

Properties

entries

val entries: EnumEntries<BodyType>

Returns a representation of an immutable list of all enum entries, in the order they're declared.

name

val name: String

ordinal

val ordinal: Int

Functions

valueOf

fun valueOf(value: String): BodyType

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

values

fun values(): Array<BodyType>

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared.
