Hugo Locurcio 16d8ba09fb Replace instances of KinematicBody with CharacteBody in READMEs
KinematicBody was replaced by CharacterBody in Godot 4.0.

This also adds the 3D suffix to 3D physics classes.

RigidBody Character 3D

RigidBody character demo for 3D using a capsule for the character. Cubes as RigidBodies spawn in the map from above to show interaction with the player (jump on them, gently push them), which would be impossible with a CharacterBody.

Language: GDScript

Renderer: Forward+

How does it work?

This demo uses a RigidBody3D for the player, and StaticBody3D for the level. Each has colliders, the player moves itself via apply_central_impulse() in _physics_process(), and collides with the level.

The ShapeCast3D node is used to detect whether the player is able to jump (i.e. touching the floor). Compared to a RayCast3D which is infinitely thin, this allows for more reliable checking if the player is standing over an edge or corner.
