BodyRigid ()
Constructor. Creates a rigid body with default properties.BodyRigid (Object object)
Constructor. Creates a rigid body with default properties for a given object.Arguments
- Object object - Object approximated with the new rigid body.
void addForce (vec3 radius, vec3 force)
Applies a force to the radius vector of the body, specified in the local coordinates. This function calculates the cross product of the radius vector and the force vector. It acts like a lever arm that changes both linear and angular velocities of the body.
Unlike impulses, all forces are accumulated first, then the resulting force is calculated and applied to the body (during the physics simulation stage, when the body update() function is called).
Arguments
- vec3 radius - Radius vector, traced from the center of mass of the body to the point where the force is applied, in local coordinates.
- vec3 force - The value of the applied force, in local coordinates.
void addForce (vec3 force)
Applies a force to the body's center of mass, specified in the local coordinates.
Unlike impulses, all forces are accumulated first, then the resulting force is calculated and applied to the body (during the physics simulation stage, when the body update() function is called).
Arguments
- vec3 force - Force to apply, in local coordinates.
void addImpulse (vec3 radius, vec3 impulse)
Applies an impulse to the radius vector of the body, specified in the local coordinates.
Unlike forces, impulses immediately affect both linear and angular velocities of the body.
Arguments

- vec3 impulse - Impulse to apply, in local coordinates.
void addTorque (vec3 radius, vec3 torque)
Applies a torque to the radius vector of the body, specified in the local coordinates.
This function calculates the cross product of the radius vector and the force vector.
