Physics2DDirectSpaceState

    Direct access object to a space in the Physics2DServer.

    Direct access object to a space in the Physics2DServer. It’s used mainly to do queries against objects and areas residing in a given space.

    • Array cast_motion ( shape )

    Checks how far a Shape2D can move without colliding. All the parameters for the query, including the shape and the motion, are supplied through a object.

    Returns an array with the safe and unsafe proportions (between 0 and 1) of the motion. The safe proportion is the maximum fraction of the motion that can be made without a collision. The unsafe proportion is the minimum fraction of the distance that must be moved for a collision. If no collision is detected a result of will be returned.

    Note: Any Shape2Ds that the shape is already colliding with e.g. inside of, will be ignored. Use to determine the Shape2Ds that the shape is already colliding with.



    Checks the intersections of a shape, given through a object, against the space. If it collides with more than one shape, the nearest one is selected. If the shape did not intersect anything, then an empty dictionary is returned instead.

    Note: This method does not take into account the motion property of the object. The returned object is a dictionary containing the following fields:

    collider_id: The colliding object’s ID.

    linear_velocity: The colliding object’s velocity Vector2. If the object is an , the result is (0, 0).

    metadata: The intersecting shape’s metadata. This metadata is different from Object.get_meta, and is set with .

    normal: The object’s surface normal at the intersection point.

    point: The intersection point.

    rid: The intersecting object’s RID.

    shape: The shape index of the colliding shape.


    • intersect_point ( Vector2 point, max_results=32, Array exclude=[ ], collision_layer=2147483647, bool collide_with_bodies=true, collide_with_areas=false )

    Checks whether a point is inside any solid shape. The shapes the point is inside of are returned in an array containing dictionaries with the following fields:

    collider: The colliding object.

    collider_id: The colliding object’s ID.

    metadata: The intersecting shape’s metadata. This metadata is different from Object.get_meta, and is set with .

    rid: The intersecting object’s RID.

    : The shape index of the colliding shape.

    The number of intersections can be limited with the max_results parameter, to reduce the processing time.

    Additionally, the method can take an exclude array of objects or s that are to be excluded from collisions, a collision_mask bitmask representing the physics layers to check in, or booleans to determine if the ray should collide with PhysicsBody2Ds or s, respectively.

    Note: ConcavePolygonShape2Ds and s in Segments build mode are not solid shapes. Therefore, they will not be detected.


    • Array intersect_point_on_canvas ( point, int canvas_instance_id, max_results=32, Array exclude=[ ], collision_layer=2147483647, bool collide_with_bodies=true, collide_with_areas=false )

    Checks whether a point is inside any solid shape, in a specific canvas layer given by canvas_instance_id. The shapes the point is inside of are returned in an array containing dictionaries with the following fields:

    collider: The colliding object.

    collider_id: The colliding object’s ID.

    rid: The intersecting object’s RID.

    shape: The shape index of the colliding shape.

    The number of intersections can be limited with the max_results parameter, to reduce the processing time.

    Additionally, the method can take an exclude array of objects or s that are to be excluded from collisions, a collision_mask bitmask representing the physics layers to check in, or booleans to determine if the ray should collide with PhysicsBody2Ds or s, respectively.

    Note: ConcavePolygonShape2Ds and s in build mode are not solid shapes. Therefore, they will not be detected.


    Intersects a ray in a given space. The returned object is a dictionary with the following fields:

    collider: The colliding object.

    collider_id: The colliding object’s ID.

    metadata: The intersecting shape’s metadata. This metadata is different from Object.get_meta, and is set with .

    normal: The object’s surface normal at the intersection point.

    position: The intersection point.

    rid: The intersecting object’s RID.

    shape: The shape index of the colliding shape.

    If the ray did not intersect anything, then an empty dictionary is returned instead.

    Additionally, the method can take an exclude array of objects or s that are to be excluded from collisions, a collision_mask bitmask representing the physics layers to check in, or booleans to determine if the ray should collide with PhysicsBody2Ds or s, respectively.


    • Array intersect_shape ( shape, int max_results=32 )

    Checks the intersections of a shape, given through a object, against the space. The intersected shapes are returned in an array containing dictionaries with the following fields:

    collider: The colliding object.

    collider_id: The colliding object’s ID.

    metadata: The intersecting shape’s metadata. This metadata is different from Object.get_meta, and is set with .

    rid: The intersecting object’s RID.

    : The shape index of the colliding shape.
