PhysicsService

PhysicsService : Instance

Overview

The PhysicsService class is a server-side service that provides tools for managing collision groups, allowing developers to control whether specific sets of parts can collide with each other. It enables advanced collision filtering beyond the basic CanCollide property, making it ideal for creating complex interactions, such as player-to-player collisions, NPC interactions, or custom physics systems.

Description

The PhysicsService class is used to define and manage collision groups, which are sets of parts categorized by a shared name. By assigning parts to these groups and specifying their collision relationships, developers can control how objects interact in the game world. This service is particularly useful for optimizing physics performance and implementing specific gameplay mechanics.
