Signature	Description
`new BodyComponent(name?: string, layer?: string): BodyComponent`constructor	Binds a layer to a mote by hand. A mote's components are made with it, from the layers it's given in Studio, so you rarely need this.
`set(key: string, value: SettingValue): void`method	Changes one of its layer's settings.
`animate(key: string, value: string \| number, seconds: number, options?: MotionAnimateOptions): Promise<boolean>`method	Moves one of its layer's settings.
`stopAnimating(key?: string): void`method	Stops its layer's moves.
`get(key: string): SettingValue \| undefined`method	One of its layer's settings, as scene.get.
`read(key: string): SettingValue \| undefined`method	One of its layer's settings as last drawn, as scene.read.
`show(visible?: boolean): void`method	Shows (or hides) its layer.
`hide(): void`method	Hides its layer.
`setVelocity(v: Place): void`method	Gives it a speed.
`applyImpulse(v: Place): void`method	Pushes it: mass times the speed it gains.
`applyForce(v: Place): void`method	A force for the next step: mass times the speed it gains a second.
`applyTorque(t: number \| number[] \| Rotator): void`method	A turning push.
`sleep(): void`method	Puts it to sleep.
`wake(): void`method	Wakes it.
