JoltBody.set_friction

Sets the surface friction of an existing body.

Call this method on a live JoltBody. Friction acts through contacts on Dynamic, Static and Kinematic bodies. It is separate from linear or angular damping.

Syntax#

Syntax
body.set_friction(value);
ArgumentTypeDescription
valueRealFinite dimensionless friction coefficient ≥ 0. Values above 1 are allowed.

Returns#

Boolean. true on success; false on invalid input, an invalid body or a native call failure. Read jolt_get_error() immediately.

Example#

Prerequisite: body holds a valid body in the running default world.

GML
// body is a live JoltBody in the running default world.
if (!body.set_friction(0.8)) {
    var error = jolt_get_error();
    show_debug_message(error.message);
}

The example sets friction to 0.8 and reports a failed operation.
