Static body for 2D physics.
</brief_description>
<description>
- Static body for 2D physics. A StaticBody2D is a body that is not intended to move. It is ideal for implementing objects in the environment, such as walls or platforms.
- Additionally, a constant linear or angular velocity can be set for the static body, which will affect colliding bodies as if it were moving (for example, a conveyor belt).
+ Static body for 2D physics. A static body is a simple body that can't be moved by external forces or contacts. It is ideal for implementing objects in the environment, such as walls or platforms. In contrast to [RigidBody2D], they don't consume any CPU resources as long as they don't move.
+ They however have extra functionalities to move and affect other bodies:
+ [b]Constant velocity:[/b] [member constant_linear_velocity] and [member constant_angular_velocity] can be set for the static body, so even if it doesn't move, it affects other bodies as if it was moving (this is useful for simulating conveyor belts or conveyor wheels).
+ [b]Transform change:[/b] Static bodies can be also moved by code. Unless [member kinematic_motion] is enabled, they are just teleported in this case and don't affect other bodies on their path.
+ [b]Kinematic motion:[/b] Static bodies can have [member kinematic_motion] enabled to make them kinematic bodies that can be moved by code and push other bodies on their path.

+ When the body is moved manually, either from code or from an [AnimationPlayer] (with [member AnimationPlayer.playback_process_mode] set to [code]physics[/code]), the physics will automatically compute an estimate of their linear and angular velocity. This makes them very useful for moving platforms or other AnimationPlayer-controlled objects (like a door, a bridge that opens, etc).
