This makes them really useful to implement characters that move in specific ways and collide with the world, but don't require advanced physics. - [b]Kinematic motion:[/b] Character bodies can also be used for kinematic motion (same functionality as [AnimatableBody2D]), which allows them to be moved by code and push other bodies on their path. + [CharacterBody2D] is a specialized class for physics bodies that are meant to be user-controlled. They are not affected by physics at all, but they affect other physics bodies in their path. They are mainly used to provide high-level API to move objects with wall and slope detection ([method move_and_slide] method) in addition to the general collision detection provided by [method PhysicsBody2D.move_and_collide]. This makes it useful for highly configurable physics bodies that must move in specific ways and collide with the world, as is often the case with user-controlled characters. + For game objects that don't require complex movement or collision detection, such as moving platforms, [AnimatableBody2D] is simpler to configure. </description> <tutorials> <link title="Kinematic character (2D)">$DOCS_URL/tutorials/physics/kinematic_character_2d.html</link> |
