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

2D concave polygon shape to be added as a *direct* child of a :ref:`PhysicsBody2D<class_PhysicsBody2D>` or :ref:`Area2D<class_Area2D>` using a :ref:`CollisionShape2D<class_CollisionShape2D>` node. It is made out of segments and is optimal for complex polygonal concave collisions. However, it is not advised to use for :ref:`RigidBody2D<class_RigidBody2D>` nodes. A CollisionPolygon2D in convex decomposition mode (solids) or several convex objects are advised for that instead. Otherwise, a concave polygon 2D shape is better for static collisions.

The main difference between a :ref:`ConvexPolygonShape2D<class_ConvexPolygonShape2D>` and a **ConcavePolygonShape2D** is that a concave polygon assumes it is concave and uses a more complex method of collision detection, and a convex one forces itself to be convex to speed up collision detection.

\ **Performance:** Due to its complexity, **ConcavePolygonShape2D** is the slowest collision shape to check collisions against. Its use should generally be limited to level geometry. For convex geometry, using :ref:`ConvexPolygonShape2D<class_ConvexPolygonShape2D>` will perform better. For dynamic physics bodies that need concave collision, several :ref:`ConvexPolygonShape2D<class_ConvexPolygonShape2D>`\ s can be used to represent its collision by using convex decomposition; see :ref:`ConvexPolygonShape2D<class_ConvexPolygonShape2D>`'s documentation for instructions. However, consider using primitive collision shapes such as :ref:`CircleShape2D<class_CircleShape2D>` or :ref:`RectangleShape2D<class_RectangleShape2D>` first.

\ **Warning:** Using this shape for an :ref:`Area2D<class_Area2D>` (via a :ref:`CollisionShape2D<class_CollisionShape2D>` node) may give unexpected results: the area will only detect collisions with the segments in the **ConcavePolygonShape2D** (and not with any "inside" of the shape, for example).
