Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_PhysicalBoneSimulator3D_method_is_simulating_physics:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_simulating_physics**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_PhysicalBoneSimulator3D_method_is_simulating_physics>`

Returns a boolean that indicates whether the **PhysicalBoneSimulator3D** is running and simulating.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_PhysicalBoneSimulator3D_method_physical_bones_add_collision_exception:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **physical_bones_add_collision_exception**\ (\ exception\: :ref:`RID<class_RID>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_PhysicalBoneSimulator3D_method_physical_bones_add_collision_exception>`

Adds a collision exception to the physical bone.

Works just like the :ref:`RigidBody3D<class_RigidBody3D>` node.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_PhysicalBoneSimulator3D_method_physical_bones_remove_collision_exception:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **physical_bones_remove_collision_exception**\ (\ exception\: :ref:`RID<class_RID>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_PhysicalBoneSimulator3D_method_physical_bones_remove_collision_exception>`

Removes a collision exception to the physical bone.

Works just like the :ref:`RigidBody3D<class_RigidBody3D>` node.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_PhysicalBoneSimulator3D_method_physical_bones_start_simulation:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **physical_bones_start_simulation**\ (\ bones\: :ref:`Array<class_Array>`\[:ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`\] = []\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_PhysicalBoneSimulator3D_method_physical_bones_start_simulation>`

Tells the :ref:`PhysicalBone3D<class_PhysicalBone3D>` nodes in the Skeleton to start simulating and reacting to the physics world.

Optionally, a list of bone names can be passed-in, allowing only the passed-in bones to be simulated.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_PhysicalBoneSimulator3D_method_physical_bones_stop_simulation:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **physical_bones_stop_simulation**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_PhysicalBoneSimulator3D_method_physical_bones_stop_simulation>`

Tells the :ref:`PhysicalBone3D<class_PhysicalBone3D>` nodes in the Skeleton to stop simulating.

.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |required| replace:: :abbr:`required (This method is required to be overridden when extending its base class.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |constructor| replace:: :abbr:`constructor (This method is used to construct a type.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
.. |operator| replace:: :abbr:`operator (This method describes a valid operator to use with this type as left-hand operand.)`
.. |bitfield| replace:: :abbr:`BitField (This value is an integer composed as a bitmask of the following flags.)`
.. |void| replace:: :abbr:`void (No return value.)`
