float getMass(int objectID)

Get the mass of an object in KG.

float playerMass = getMass(PLAYER_OBJECT);
print("Player mass is " + playerMass + "KG");

void setMass(int objectID, float mass)

Set the mass of an object in KG.

// set player mass to 1000KG
setMass(PLAYER_OBJECT, 1000);

Set mass to 0 make object static (cannot be moved).

vector2 getLinearVelocity(int objectID)

Get the linear velocity of an object in m/s.

print(getLinearVelocity(PLAYER_OBJECT));

float getAngularVelocity(int objectID)

Get the angular velocity of an object in radians.

print(getAngularVelocity(PLAYER_OBJECT));

bool getKinematic(int objectID)

Get the kinematic status of an object.

if (getKinematic(PLAYER_OBJECT))
{
print("Player is kinematic");
}
else
{
print("Player is not kinematic");
}

void setKinematic(int objectID, bool kinematic)

Set the kinematic status of an object.

setKinematic(PLAYER_OBJECT, true);

Kinematic objects cannot be affected by forces, and cannot collide with static or other kinematic objects.

void applyForce(int objectID, vector2 force)

Apply a linear force to the centre of an object.

applyForce(PLAYER_OBJECT, vector2(10000,10000));

void applyImpulse(int objectID, vector2 impulse)

Apply a linear impulse to the centre of an object.

applyImpulse(PLAYER_OBJECT, vector2(20000,20000));

void applyAngularImpulse(int objectID, float impulse)

Apply an angular impulse to an object.

applyAngularImpulse(PLAYER_OBJECT, 10000);

void setCollidesWith(int object1ID, int object2ID, bool collides)

Set if an object can collide with another object.

// Disable collision between the player and object ID 0
setCollidesWith(PLAYER_OBJECT, 0, false);
