PhysicsIsDoublePrecision ( )

Parameters

None.

Description

Returns True when the linked native Box3D library uses double-precision positions.

Current supported Blitz3D+ builds return False. This is read-only build information, not a command to switch coordinate precision or a promise that entities/renderer use double precision.

World arguments must be live explicit physics worlds; invalid, stale and wrong-kind handles raise a runtime error. Metric indices are one-based and checked before returning values. Captures are rejected while the world is stepping.

Requires Extended mode.
