__NOTOC__
The '''Rigid Body Controller''' is a type of controller that represents a rigid body in a physics simulation. The Rigid Body Controller is built into the core engine, and it's used for all solid objects that move under the control of the built-in physics system.

== Settings ==

The following settings are available for Rigid Body Controllers.

{| {{Table}}
{{Tablehead|Setting|Description}}
|-
{{HeadingSetting|'''Rigid Body Flags'''|}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Initially asleep'''|If checked, then the rigid body is initially in the sleeping state. It will not be moved under it is explicitly awakened or another object collides with it.}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Ignore force fields'''|If checked, then force fields do not affect this rigid body.}}
|-
{{HeadingSetting|'''Physical Properties'''|}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Gravity multiplier'''|The factor by which the force of gravity is multiplied for this rigid body.}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Fluid drag multiplier'''|The factor by which fluid drag forces are multiplied for this rigid body.}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Wind drag multiplier'''|The factor by which wind drag forces are multiplied for this rigid body.}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Restitution coefficient'''|The fraction of momentum that is retained when this rigid body bounces during a collision.}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Friction coefficient'''|The coefficient used in friction force calculations. This value should usually be between 0.0 and 1.0.}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Spin friction multiplier'''|Determines how much friction is applied in the special case that the rigid body is spinning on a single point like a top. This value should be between 0.0 and 1.0, and it multiplies the ordinary friction coefficient.}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Rolling resistance'''|The internal force that is applied to counteract this rigid body's angular velocity. Good values for the rolling resistance usually lie between 0.0 and 0.1.}}
|-
{{HeadingSetting|'''Sleep Parameters'''|}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Sleep box multiplier'''|Multiplies the size of the sleep boxes used to determine when a rigid body should go to sleep. Larger values increase the tendency for a rigid body to sleep, and smaller values cause a rigid body to stay awake longer.}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Rotational multiplier'''|An additional multiplier for the rotational sleep boxes that influences how quickly a rotating object falls asleep.}}
|-
{{HeadingSetting|'''Network Settings'''|}}
|-
{{Setting|'''Snapshot period'''|The time between network snapshots for this rigid body. Larger values mean that the motion of the rigid body is predicted on client machines for a longer time before being corrected, but network traffic is also lowered.}}
