<description>
Moves the body along a vector. If the body collides with another, it will slide along the other body rather than stop immediately. If the other body is a [code]KinematicBody[/code] or [RigidBody], it will also be affected by the motion of the other body. You can use this to make moving or rotating platforms, or to make nodes push other nodes.
- [code]linear_velocity[/code] is a value in pixels per second. Unlike in for example [method move_and_collide], you should [i]not[/i] multiply it by [code]delta[/code] — this is done by the method.
+ [code]linear_velocity[/code] is the velocity vector (typically meters per second). Unlike in [method move_and_collide], you should [i]not[/i] multiply it by [code]delta[/code] — the physics engine handles applying the velocity.
[code]floor_normal[/code] is the up direction, used to determine what is a wall and what is a floor or a ceiling. If set to the default value of [code]Vector3(0, 0, 0)[/code], everything is considered a wall. This is useful for topdown games.
[i]TODO: Update for new stop_on_slode argument.[/i] If the body is standing on a slope and the horizontal speed (relative to the floor's speed) goes below [code]slope_stop_min_velocity[/code], the body will stop completely. This prevents the body from sliding down slopes when you include gravity in [code]linear_velocity[/code]. When set to lower values, the body will not be able to stand still on steep slopes.
If the body collides, it will change direction a maximum of [code]max_slides[/code] times before it stops.
