NewBody

api.physics.NewBody(shape, mass)

Creates a new body object for simulating physics.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
shape	Shape	The shape of the body's collision boundaries.
mass	float	Dictates the effectiveness of forces applied by the body and against it.

Returns:

Type	Description
Body	A collidable body for physics calculations.

Example:

Create a new box-shaped body, assign it to this entity, and apply a force to it each update.

-- entity_type_name.lua
local function init(self)
    self.Physics = true
    
    local box = api.physics.NewBoxShape(1, 1, 1) 
    self.Body = api.physics.NewBody(box, 10)
end

local function update(self, dt)
    local vector = api.physics.NewVector(0.2, 0, 0)
    self.Body:ApplyForce(vector)
end

-- Pushes the entity with a force of 0.2 in the X direction each frame.
