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

Ray shape for 3D collisions, which can be set into a :ref:`PhysicsBody<class_PhysicsBody>` or :ref:`Area<class_Area>`. A ray is not really a collision body; instead, it tries to separate itself from whatever is touching its far endpoint. It's often useful for characters.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_RayShape_property_length:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **length**

+-----------+-------------------+
| *Default* | 1.0               |
+-----------+-------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_length(value) |
+-----------+-------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_length()      |
+-----------+-------------------+

The ray's length.

.. _class_RayShape_property_slips_on_slope:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **slips_on_slope**

+-----------+---------------------------+
| *Default* | false                     |
+-----------+---------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_slips_on_slope(value) |
+-----------+---------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_slips_on_slope()      |
+-----------+---------------------------+

If ``true``, allow the shape to return the correct normal.
