add_torque does not work

For some misterious reason the function add_torque() on my rigidbody3D does not work anymore, the funny thing is that it was working before i started modifying some other area of the project, and now that i come back i dont know what possibly went wrong!

I checked everything, the body is in Rigid mode, no axis lock, changing the angular damp produces no results, changing mass and torque amount doesnt change a thing, custom integration, continuous cd, contact monitor, sleep, i checked and unchecked everything with no results.

The code is as follow, but i dont think there is anything bad with (as it is quite simple.
add_central_force() works, also the results from the print() gives values which are greater than (0,0,0)

func _integrate_forces(state):
	apply_gravity()
	apply_controls()

func apply_gravity():
   add_central_force(orbiting_body.mass*mass*world.G/pow(body_direction.length(),2)*body_direction.normalized())

func apply_controls():
	if pitching!=0:
		add_torque(transform.basis.x*pitching*rotating_speed)
		print(transform.basis.x*pitching*rotating_speed)
	if yawing!=0:
		add_torque(transform.basis.y*yawing*rotating_speed)
		print(transform.basis.y*yawing*rotating_speed)
	if rolling!=0:
		add_torque(transform.basis.z*rolling*rotating_speed)
		print(transform.basis.z*rolling*rotating_speed)
	if accelerating!=0:
		throttle+=0.02*accelerating
		throttle=max(0,min(1,throttle))
	if throttle>0:
		add_central_force(max_acceleration*throttle*($Nose.global_transform.origin-global_transform.origin))

Any thoughts on what could i check?


EDIT
if instead of using add_torque, I rotate the object using rotate(transform.basis.x*pitching, 1) , the rotation remains applied only for 1 frame, it then reverts back immediatly to the original un-rotated status.
It’s like there is something that reverts the rotation back at every frame!

well, it turned out a rigid body with a collision shape set as disabled cannot rotate.
Dont ask me why
