Point physics control how particles, particle systems, weather, flags, contrails, and antenna interact with the environment. This includes wind, water, density, and collisions with the BSP. Essentially anything that can be suspended in the atmosphere or water is simulated this way.

The following are related functions that you can use in your scenario scripts and/or debug globals that you can enter into the developer console for troubleshooting.

	Function/global	Type
	`(debug_point_physics [boolean])` Renders green or red markers wherever point_physics are being simulated, except for the weather_particle_system. This includes flags, antenna, contrails, particles, and particle_systems. It can help to enable `framerate_throttle` for these markers to render consistently. Red markers indicate point_physics with the collides with structures flag, which are more computationally expensive.	Global

Flag	Mask	Comments
flamethrower particle collision	`0x1`
collides with structures	`0x2`	The points will collide with scenario_structure_bsp and model_collision_geometry.
collides with water surface	`0x4`
uses simple wind	`0x8`
uses damped wind	`0x10`
no gravity	`0x20`	The points will be unaffected by gravity.
