This is a legacy of Godot 2 days before the inspector had support for groups.
"Properties" with a slash in their name can't be accessed from script unless
using `set()`/`get()` so they were not actual properties as far as script
languages are concerned.
Part of #17558.
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
Reporting rest collision information is needed for move_and_collide and
move_and_slide so floor detection can be done properly, but in the case
of just testing the motion for collision, it makes sense to return false
if the body is able to move all along the path without being stopped.
Updated the logic in test_move and clarified the documentation for
test_move and move_and_collide.
Infinite inertia:
Not needed anymore, since it's now possible to set one-directional
collision layers in order for characters to ignore rigid bodies, while
rigid bodies still collide with characters.
Ray shapes:
They were introduced as a work around to allow constant speed on slopes,
which is now possible with the new property in CharacterBody instead.
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
Safe margin property on CharacterBody only, used as argument in
move_and_collide.
Removed kinematic_safe_margin in 3D physics server, not really useful
and now harmonized with 2D.
- snap property to replace move_and_slide_with_snap()
- floor_max_angle, stop_on_slope, infinite_inertia, max_slides,
up_direction properties to replace arguments from move_and_slide()
- up direction now defaults to Vector3.UP and Vector2.UP
PhysicsBody now has methods move_and_collide/test_move and needed
properties for these methods: safe margin, locked axes (3D only).
Moved collision_exceptions from StaticBody to PhysicsBody for 3D
(same as 2D, and conforms to documentation).
RigidBody doesn't have test_motion method anymore, it's now redundant
with PhysicsBody.test_move.
We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
Follow-up to #31925, `<member />` tags just before `</members>` would cause
a parsing issue, and we'd never notice that we're no longer parsing members.
Also added space before closing `/>`.
