Description
-----------

Joints are used to bind together two physics bodies. They have a solver priority and can define if the bodies of the two attached nodes should be able to collide with each other.

Property Descriptions

.. _class_Joint_property_collision/exclude_nodes:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **collision/exclude_nodes**

+----------+-----------------------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_exclude_nodes_from_collision(value) |
+----------+-----------------------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_exclude_nodes_from_collision()      |
+----------+-----------------------------------------+

If ``true``, the two bodies of the nodes are not able to collide with each other.

+----------+-------------------+
| *Setter* | set_node_a(value) |
+----------+-------------------+
| *Getter* | get_node_a()      |
+----------+-------------------+

The node attached to the first side (A) of the joint.

.. _class_Joint_property_nodes/node_b:

- :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` **nodes/node_b**

+----------+-------------------+
| *Setter* | set_node_b(value) |
+----------+-------------------+
| *Getter* | get_node_b()      |
+----------+-------------------+

The node attached to the second side (B) of the joint.

.. _class_Joint_property_solver/priority:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **solver/priority**

+----------+----------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_solver_priority(value) |
+----------+----------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_solver_priority()      |
+----------+----------------------------+

The priority used to define which solver is executed first for multiple joints. The lower the value, the higher the priority.
