# STATUS_PHYSICS

*LSL constant*

```lsl
integer STATUS_PHYSICS = 0x1;
```

Constant groups: [ObjectStatusParam](/constants/groups/ObjectStatusParam/)

This property (set [FALSE](/constants/FALSE/) by default) if set [TRUE](/constants/TRUE/) allows that the object is subject to and can offer physical interactions and forces.

## Examples

<details open>
<summary>Simple script to turn on and off the physics of an object.</summary>

```lsl collapse={1-6}
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetTimerEvent(llFrand(10) + 5.0); // Set a random time in seconds between 5 and 15
    }
    timer()
    {
        if(!llGetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS)) // Check the physical status is non-phys
        {
            llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE); // Set the object physical
            llMoveToTarget(llGetPos() + <0.0,0.0,10.0>, 1.0); // Move to a point 10 meters above the present position
        }
        else // If physical
        {
            llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, FALSE); // Set the object non-phys
            llSetTimerEvent(0.0); // Stop the timer
        }
    }
}
```

</details>

## Known issues

- [SVC-6549](https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-6549): [llSetStatus](/functions/llSetStatus/) can't change [STATUS_PHYSICS](/constants/STATUS_PHYSICS/) of an attachment despite the status being preserved between attach & drop
