	<brief_description>
		Node for physics collision sweep and immediate overlap queries. Similar to the [RayCast2D] node.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Shape casting allows to detect collision objects by sweeping the [member shape] along the cast direction determined by [member target_position] (useful for things like beam weapons).
		Immediate collision overlaps can be done with the [member target_position] set to [code]Vector2(0, 0)[/code] and by calling [method force_shapecast_update] within the same [b]physics_frame[/b]. This also helps to overcome some limitations of [Area2D] when used as a continuous detection area, often requiring waiting a couple of frames before collision information is available to [Area2D] nodes, and when using the signals creates unnecessary complexity.
		The node can detect multiple collision objects, but it's usually used to detect the first collision.
		[b]Note:[/b] Shape casting is more computationally expensive compared to ray casting.

	<methods>
		<method name="add_exception">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="node" type="Object" />
			<description>
				Adds a collision exception so the shape does not report collisions with the specified [CollisionObject2D] node.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="add_exception_rid">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="rid" type="RID" />
			<description>
				Adds a collision exception so the shape does not report collisions with the specified [RID].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="clear_exceptions">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Removes all collision exceptions for this shape.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="force_shapecast_update">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Updates the collision information for the shape. Use this method to update the collision information immediately instead of waiting for the next [code]_physics_process[/code] call, for example if the shape or its parent has changed state.
				[b]Note:[/b] [code]enabled[/code] is not required for this to work.

		</method>
		<method name="get_closest_collision_safe_fraction" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="float" />
			<description>
				The fraction from the [ShapeCast2D]'s origin to its [member target_position] (between 0 and 1) of how far the shape can move without triggering a collision.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_closest_collision_unsafe_fraction" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="float" />
			<description>
				The fraction from the [ShapeCast2D]'s origin to its [member target_position] (between 0 and 1) of how far the shape must move to trigger a collision.
			</description>
		</method>

			<description>
				Returns the collided [Object] of one of the multiple collisions at [code]index[/code], or [code]null[/code] if no object is intersecting the shape (i.e. [method is_colliding] returns [code]false[/code]).

		</method>
		<method name="get_collision_point" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Vector2" />
			<argument index="0" name="index" type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the collision point of one of the multiple collisions at [code]index[/code] where the shape intersects the colliding object.
