Member Variables
----------------

  .. _class_Area_angular_damp:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **angular_damp** - The rate at which objects stop spinning in this area. Represents the angular velocity lost per second. Values range from ``0`` (no damping) to ``1`` (full damping).

  .. _class_Area_audio_bus_name:

- :ref:`String<class_string>` **audio_bus_name** - The name of the area's audio bus.

  .. _class_Area_audio_bus_override:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **audio_bus_override** - If ``true`` the area's audio bus overrides the default audio bus. Default value: ``false``.

  .. _class_Area_collision_layer:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **collision_layer** - The area's physics layer(s). Collidable objects can exist in any of 32 different layers. A contact is detected if object A is in any of the layers that object B scans, or object B is in any layers that object A scans. See also ``collision_mask``.

  .. _class_Area_collision_mask:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **collision_mask** - The physics layers this area scans to determine collision detection.

  .. _class_Area_gravity:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **gravity** - The area's gravity intensity (ranges from -1024 to 1024). This value multiplies the gravity vector. This is useful to alter the force of gravity without altering its direction.

  .. _class_Area_gravity_distance_scale:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **gravity_distance_scale** - The falloff factor for point gravity. The greater the value, the faster gravity decreases with distance.

  .. _class_Area_gravity_point:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **gravity_point** - If ``true`` gravity is calculated from a point (set via ``gravity_vec``). Also see ``space_override``. Default value: ``false``.

  .. _class_Area_gravity_vec:

- :ref:`Vector3<class_vector3>` **gravity_vec** - The area's gravity vector (not normalized). If gravity is a point (see :ref:`is_gravity_a_point<class_Area_is_gravity_a_point>`), this will be the point of attraction.

  .. _class_Area_linear_damp:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **linear_damp** - The rate at which objects stop moving in this area. Represents the linear velocity lost per second. Values range from ``0`` (no damping) to ``1`` (full damping).

  .. _class_Area_monitorable:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **monitorable** - If ``true`` other monitoring areas can detect this area. Default value: ``true``.

  .. _class_Area_monitoring:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **monitoring** - If ``true`` the area detects bodies or areas entering and exiting it. Default value: ``true``.

  .. _class_Area_priority:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **priority** - The area's priority. Higher priority areas are processed first. Default value: 0.

  .. _class_Area_reverb_bus_amount:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **reverb_bus_amount** - The degree to which this area applies reverb to its associated audio. Ranges from ``0`` to ``1`` with ``0.1`` precision.

  .. _class_Area_reverb_bus_enable:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **reverb_bus_enable** - If ``true`` the area applies reverb to its associated audio.

  .. _class_Area_reverb_bus_name:

- :ref:`String<class_string>` **reverb_bus_name** - The reverb bus name to use for this area's associated audio.

  .. _class_Area_reverb_bus_uniformity:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **reverb_bus_uniformity** - The degree to which this area's reverb is a uniform effect. Ranges from ``0`` to ``1`` with ``0.1`` precision.

  .. _class_Area_space_override:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **space_override** - Override mode for gravity and damping calculations within this area. See the SPACE_OVERRIDE\_\* constants for values.


Numeric Constants
-----------------

- **SPACE_OVERRIDE_DISABLED** = **0** --- This area does not affect gravity/damping.
- **SPACE_OVERRIDE_COMBINE** = **1** --- This area adds its gravity/damping values to whatever has been calculated so far (in ``priority`` order).
- **SPACE_OVERRIDE_COMBINE_REPLACE** = **2** --- This area adds its gravity/damping values to whatever has been calculated so far (in ``priority`` order), ignoring any lower priority areas.
- **SPACE_OVERRIDE_REPLACE** = **3** --- This area replaces any gravity/damping, even the defaults, ignoring any lower priority areas.
- **SPACE_OVERRIDE_REPLACE_COMBINE** = **4** --- This area replaces any gravity/damping calculated so far (in ``priority`` order), but keeps calculating the rest of the areas.

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

3D area that detects :ref:`CollisionObject<class_collisionobject>` nodes overlapping, entering, or exiting. Can also alter or override local physics parameters (gravity, damping).
