# OvrRigidBody

### Description

This Node is used to manage the most common interactions with the Unity [RigidBody ](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.html)Component.

It requires a RigidBody to be set up. See the [Unity Manual](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Rigidbody.html) for more info.

Based on the action the RigidBody is required to perform, this component changes its behavior and requirements.

### Action Types

The OVER SDK provides several ways to interact with a Unity RigidBody Component. A list can be found in [OvrRigidbodyActionType](/over-sdk-manual/ovr-component-system-ancient-legacy/nodes/unity-components-interactors/ovrrigidbody/ovrrigidbodyactiontype.md).

#### Force

Allows user to apply force to the target Rigidbody. Force is applied using the Unity built-in physics engine, and with different effects, based on the type of force applied.

[Force ](/over-sdk-manual/ovr-component-system-ancient-legacy/nodes/unity-components-interactors/ovrrigidbody/ovrrigidbodyactiontype.md)simply applies force to a Rigidbody. [ExplosiveForce ](/over-sdk-manual/ovr-component-system-ancient-legacy/nodes/unity-components-interactors/ovrrigidbody/ovrrigidbodyactiontype.md)applies force simulating explosion effects. [RelativeForce ](/over-sdk-manual/ovr-component-system-ancient-legacy/nodes/unity-components-interactors/ovrrigidbody/ovrrigidbodyactiontype.md)applies force in relation to Rigidbody's coordinate system.

#### Torque

Allows the user to add a torque to the target Rigidbody. Torque is applied using the Unity built-in physics engine, and with different effects, based on the type applied.

[Torque ](/over-sdk-manual/ovr-component-system-ancient-legacy/nodes/unity-components-interactors/ovrrigidbody/ovrrigidbodyactiontype.md)simply applies a torque to a Rigidbody. [RelativeTorque ](/over-sdk-manual/ovr-component-system-ancient-legacy/nodes/unity-components-interactors/ovrrigidbody/ovrrigidbodyactiontype.md)applies torque in relation to Rigidbody's coordinate system.

#### Movement

Allows the user to apply simple movement to the target Rigidbody, by using Unity built-in physics engine.

[MovePosition ](/over-sdk-manual/ovr-component-system-ancient-legacy/nodes/unity-components-interactors/ovrrigidbody/ovrrigidbodyactiontype.md)simply applies motion to a Rigidbody. [MoveRotation ](/over-sdk-manual/ovr-component-system-ancient-legacy/nodes/unity-components-interactors/ovrrigidbody/ovrrigidbodyactiontype.md)rotates Rigidbody to a given rotation.

#### Reset

Allows some utility functions to better handle Rigidbodies.

[ResetVelocity ](/over-sdk-manual/ovr-component-system-ancient-legacy/nodes/unity-components-interactors/ovrrigidbody/ovrrigidbodyactiontype.md)allows the reset of the Velocity parameter of a Rigidbody. This is useful in order to stop the motion of a physical object in a Scene.
