    I'm trying to use the method implemented in the Rigidbody class: https://docs.unity3d.com/2022.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.GetAccumulatedForce.html

    Even the most simple use case:


    
Rigidbody rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    
rb.GetAccumulatedForce();


    I get an error in visual studio and an error in the console in the editor saying 'Rigidbody' does not contain a definition for 'GetAccumulatedForce'. The function would be really useful for me and save a lot of headaches. Is this something that has the wrong access modifier perhaps?

    Looks like it's new, as of 2022.2, so you need to be on the latest version.

    I assumed the documentation would relate to the latest release, not an alpha release. Thanks for the help!

    The documentation doesn't take you to alpha/beta release by default, you have to select that yourself. Right now it takes you to 2021.3.

    The link you have does itself show you the version and it states it at the top left of the page too. You can also select the specific version you want to view.

    I will admit, sometimes when I'm searching for certain methods, Google takes me to the page for a different version than the default. Not really Unity's fault, but it's something that can easily happen.
