Base class for all 3D joints.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

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.

.. _class_Joint_property_collision/exclude_nodes:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **collision/exclude_nodes** = ``true``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_exclude_nodes_from_collision** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` value **)**
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **get_exclude_nodes_from_collision** **(** **)**

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

- void **set_node_a** **(** :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` value **)**
- :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` **get_node_a** **(** **)**

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

.. _class_Joint_property_nodes/node_b:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` **nodes/node_b** = ``NodePath("")``

- void **set_node_b** **(** :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` value **)**
- :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` **get_node_b** **(** **)**

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

.. _class_Joint_property_solver/priority:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`int<class_int>` **solver/priority** = ``1``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_solver_priority** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_solver_priority** **(** **)**

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