Class PhysicalMaterial

Physical materials are used to define the response of a physical object when interacting dynamically with the world.

Constructors

PhysicalMaterial()

Initializes a new instance of the PhysicalMaterial.

Declaration
public PhysicalMaterial()

Properties

Density

Physical material density in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3). Higher density means a higher weight of the object using this material. Wood is around 700, water is 1000, steel is around 8000.

Declaration
[EditorOrder(10)]
[EditorDisplay("Physical Material", null)]
[Unmanaged]
public float Density { get; set; }
Property Value
System.Single

Friction

The friction value of surface, controls how easily things can slide on this surface.

Declaration

[Limit(0F, 3.40282347E+38F, 1F)]
[EditorDisplay("Physical Material", null)]
[Unmanaged]
public float Friction { get; set; }
Property Value
System.Single

FrictionCombineMode

The friction combine mode, controls how friction is computed for multiple materials.

Declaration
[EditorOrder(1)]
[EditorDisplay("Physical Material", null)]
[Unmanaged]
public PhysicsCombineMode FrictionCombineMode { get; set; }
Property Value
PhysicsCombineMode

Restitution

The restitution or 'bounciness' of this surface, between 0 (no bounce) and 1 (outgoing velocity is same as incoming).

Declaration
[EditorOrder(3)]
[Range(0F, 1F)]
[EditorDisplay("Physical Material", null)]
[Unmanaged]
public float Restitution { get; set; }
Property Value
System.Single

RestitutionCombineMode

The restitution combine mode, controls how restitution is computed for multiple materials.

Declaration
[EditorOrder(4)]
[EditorDisplay("Physical Material", null)]
[Unmanaged]
public PhysicsCombineMode RestitutionCombineMode { get; set; }
Property Value
PhysicsCombineMode

Tag

Physical material tag used to identify it (eg. Surface.Wood). Can be used to play proper footstep sounds when walking over object with that material.

Declaration
[EditorOrder(100)]
[EditorDisplay("Physical Material", null)]
[Unmanaged]
public Tag Tag { get; set; }
Property Value
Tag
