phy_sleeping

Returns the active state of the instance.

Syntax:

phy_sleeping;


Returns: Boolean


Description

This read-only variable returns whether or not the instance is currently "sleeping" (true) or not (false), A "sleeping" instance is one that is not actively engaged in any physical simulation. GameMaker: Studio will put objects to sleep to save simulation cycles when an instance is at rest and not in collision with another instance.


Example:

if phy_sleeping
   {
   instance_destroy();
   }

The above code checks to see if the object is being actively simulated or not and if it is not it is destroyed.
