Shape Class
This class creates collision shapes that approximate the finite volume of physical bodies and allow them to collide. Shapes are assigned to a body and are positioned in its local coordinates.
Shape Class
Members
float getVolume ()
Returns the volume of the shape.Return value
Volume of the shape in cubic units.void setBody (const Ptr<Body> & body)
Sets a body, to which the shape belongs.Arguments
- const Ptr<Body> & body - Body, to which the shape belongs.
int getType ()
Returns the type of the shape.Return value
One of the SHAPE_* pre-defined variables.int setID (int id)
Sets the unique ID for the shape.Arguments
- int id - Unique ID.
Return value
1 if the ID is set successfully; otherwise, 0.Math::vec3 getCenterOfMass ()
Returns local coordinates of the center of mass of the shape.Return value

Saves the state of a given node into a binary stream.- If a node is a parent for other nodes, states of these child nodes need to be saved manually.
- To save the state from a buffer, file or a message from a socket, make sure the stream is opened. For buffers and files, you also need to set the proper position for reading.
Arguments

Return value
1 if node state is successfully saved; otherwise, 0.void setRestitution (float restitution)
Sets a restitution of the shape surface.Arguments

Returns a value indicating if the shape is enabled.Return value
1 if the shape is enabled; otherwise, 0.float getFriction ()
Returns the friction of the shape surface.Return value
Friction of the shape surface.void setDensity (float density)
Sets density of a shape. Changing the density influences the mass, that is computed by multiplying shape volume by density.Arguments
- float density - Density value. If a negative value is provided, 0 will be used instead.

int getIntersection (const Math::Vec3 & p0, const Math::Vec3 & p1, const Ptr<PhysicsIntersectionNormal> & intersection)
Performs tracing from the p0 point to the p1 point to find a shape located on that line. Intersection is found only for objects with a matching mask.
Depending on the variable passed as an argument, the result can be presented as the PhysicsIntersection or PhysicsIntersectionNormal node.
Usage Example
The following example shows how you can get the intersection information by using the PhysicsIntersection class. In this example the line is an invisible traced line from the point of the camera (vec3 p0) to the point of the mouse pointer (vec3 p1). It is supposed that you have a shape in your world. The executing sequence is the following:
- Define and initialize two points (p0 and p1) by using the getPlayerMouseDirection() function from core/scripts/utils.h.
- Create an instance of the PhysicsIntersection class to get the information of the intersection point.
- Check, if there is a intersection with a shape and save the result in the int variable.
- In this example, if there is an intersection of mouse direction with a specific shape called "shape", the PhysicsIntersection class instance gets the and intersection point and show the result in console.
