NavalPhysics
v1.4.8
Floats this entity. Buoyancy comes from child volumes named under floater_volume_holder. The script picker groups it under ship_visual_only. The dropdown name is NavalPhysics.
Find placed ones in the Scene panel with s:NavalPhysics. See Filter.
Where you put it
Add it to the root of a dynamic body that should float: debris, a buoy, or a ship visual. Give that body a dynamic physics shape, and a child entity named floater_volume_holder whose children are the float volumes. Pair it with CustomNavalPhysicsParameters on the same entity for the float strength. If a ship script is already on this entity, this script does not build its own float setup.
What you set
| Panel field | What to do with it |
|---|---|
| Sink | Button on the panel. This script does not run anything when the button is clicked. |
Vanilla prefabs store the script with no variables. Float strength is the other script, CustomNavalPhysicsParameters.
What it does
Without a ship script on the same entity, it reads the float volumes, turns gravity off, and ticks buoyancy, drag, and weight from agents standing on the body. BehaveLikeShip false, the debris default, uses the lighter debris reference. A child tagged batched_physics_entity is the first physics body; other children get their own.
Where it lives
Managed script. Loose prefabs in Modules\NavalDLC\Prefabs\floatable_props.xml and editor_barriers.xml. More copies, including ones with NavalPhysicsAgentCollisionSolver, are in Modules\NavalDLC\AssetPackages\nested_prefabs_packed.xml.
Examples
Door slab. floatable_props.xml, floatable_door_top. Mass 20. FloatingForceMultiplier 0.03. BehaveLikeShip off. Has floater_volume_holder.
Barrel. Same file, floatable_barrel. Mass 262. FloatingForceMultiplier 0.7.
Buoy. editor_barriers.xml, buoy_big_a. Mass 500. FloatingForceMultiplier 0.15. Child floater_volume_holder with 25 volumes. buoy_small_a in the same file uses multiplier 0.3.
Conversation longship. NavalDLC\SceneObj\conversation_scene_sea_multi_agent. Entity longship_ship_nested. The script is present with no variables, next to a volume generator (102 volumes, width and depth 0.6).
