GPUParticlesCollision3D

**Inherits:** :ref:`VisualInstance3D<class_VisualInstance3D>` **<** :ref:`Node3D<class_Node3D>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

**Inherited By:** :ref:`GPUParticlesCollisionBox3D<class_GPUParticlesCollisionBox3D>`, :ref:`GPUParticlesCollisionHeightField3D<class_GPUParticlesCollisionHeightField3D>`, :ref:`GPUParticlesCollisionSDF3D<class_GPUParticlesCollisionSDF3D>`, :ref:`GPUParticlesCollisionSphere3D<class_GPUParticlesCollisionSphere3D>`

Abstract base class for 3D particle collision shapes affecting :ref:`GPUParticles3D<class_GPUParticles3D>` nodes.

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

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

Particle collision shapes can be used to make particles stop or bounce against them.

Particle collision shapes work in real-time and can be moved, rotated and scaled during gameplay. Unlike attractors, non-uniform scaling of collision shapes is *not* supported.

Particle collision shapes can be temporarily disabled by hiding them.

\ **Note:** :ref:`ParticleProcessMaterial.collision_mode<class_ParticleProcessMaterial_property_collision_mode>` must be :ref:`ParticleProcessMaterial.COLLISION_RIGID<class_ParticleProcessMaterial_constant_COLLISION_RIGID>` or :ref:`ParticleProcessMaterial.COLLISION_HIDE_ON_CONTACT<class_ParticleProcessMaterial_constant_COLLISION_HIDE_ON_CONTACT>` on the :ref:`GPUParticles3D<class_GPUParticles3D>`'s process material for collision to work.

\ **Note:** Particle collision only affects :ref:`GPUParticles3D<class_GPUParticles3D>`, not :ref:`CPUParticles3D<class_CPUParticles3D>`.

\ **Note:** Particles pushed by a collider that is being moved will not be interpolated, which can result in visible stuttering. This can be alleviated by setting :ref:`GPUParticles3D.fixed_fps<class_GPUParticles3D_property_fixed_fps>` to ``0`` or a value that matches or exceeds the target framerate.

The particle rendering layers (:ref:`VisualInstance3D.layers<class_VisualInstance3D_property_layers>`) that will be affected by the collision shape. By default, all particles that have :ref:`ParticleProcessMaterial.collision_mode<class_ParticleProcessMaterial_property_collision_mode>` set to :ref:`ParticleProcessMaterial.COLLISION_RIGID<class_ParticleProcessMaterial_constant_COLLISION_RIGID>` or :ref:`ParticleProcessMaterial.COLLISION_HIDE_ON_CONTACT<class_ParticleProcessMaterial_constant_COLLISION_HIDE_ON_CONTACT>` will be affected by a collision shape.

After configuring particle nodes accordingly, specific layers can be unchecked to prevent certain particles from being affected by colliders. For example, this can be used if you're using a collider as part of a spell effect but don't want the collider to affect unrelated weather particles at the same position.

Particle collision can also be disabled on a per-process material basis by setting :ref:`ParticleProcessMaterial.collision_mode<class_ParticleProcessMaterial_property_collision_mode>` on the :ref:`GPUParticles3D<class_GPUParticles3D>` node.
