Add Torque 2D

Node description and basic instructions

Apply a torque at the rigidbody's centre of mass.

Applying torque to the Rigidbody2D changes the angular Velocity only. This change is scaled (divided) by the rotational inertia. Therefore, a larger inertia results in smaller changes to angular Velocity, and a smaller inertia results in larger changes to angularVelocity.

When applying torque either as a force or an impulse, you can use any value to get the required change in angular Velocity. However, if you require a specific change in degrees, then you must first convert the torque value into radians then multiplying by the inertia.
