phy_kinematic

This read-only variable will return true if the instance is classed as being a kinematic object, or false if it is not. A kinematic instance is one that has infinite mass (a density of 0) but can move. So, to make an instance kinematic, you would first create a static instance and then set one or more of the instance variables related to movement (ie: phy_speed_x, phy_speed_y, or phy_angular_velocity)

Syntax:

phy_kinematic;

Returns:

Boolean (or undefined if the instance is not physics enabled)

Example:

if (!phy_kinematic)
{
    phy_speed_x = 5;
}

The above code checks to see if the instance is kinematic and if it is not, it sets the horizontal speed to 5.
