Unigine::Body Class

Header:#include <UniginePhysics.h>

This class is used to simulate physical bodies that allow an object to participate in physical interactions. A body can have one or several collision shapes assigned and can be connected together with joints. To transform a body, one of the following functions can be used:

All of these functions take effect when physics calculations are over and flush() is performed. Only after that transformations of the body are applied to the rendered node. If a node needs to be transformed immediately after its physical body, flushTransform() is to be called.

The simulation of the body can be frozen (if a setFrozen flag is set).

You can set callbacks for a body to handle certain events:

void setFrozenCallback(const Ptr<FrozenCallback> & func)

Adds a callback function to be called when a given body freezes. The signature of the frozen callback function must be as follows:
Source code (C++)
void frozen_callback_function_name(BodyPtr body);

You can set a callback function as follows:

Source code (C++)
setFrozenCallback(MakeCallback(frozen_callback_function_name));
Notice
Physics-based callbacks are executed in parallel with the main tread, so you should not modify nodes inside these functions. If you want to reposition, transform, create or delete nodes captured by your callback function, you can store them in the array and then perform all necessary operations in the update(). See the example for contact callbacks

Example: Setting a body frozen callback function for a certain class:

Source code (C++)
class SomeClass {

	/*...*/
	
	// body for which a frozen callback function is to be set
	Unigine::BodyPtr body;
	
	/*...*/
};

/*...*/

// callback function
void SomeClass::on_freezing(BodyPtr body)
{
	// insert your code handling freezing here
}

void SomeClass::registerCallback()
{
	// setting the on_freezing() function to handle freezing for the body
	body->setFrozenCallback(MakeCallback(this, &SomeClass::on_freezing));
}
Notice
Physics-based callbacks are executed not immediately, but before the next flush() or next update() of the world script.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<FrozenCallback> & func - Callback function.

void setPositionCallback(const Ptr<PositionCallback> & func)

Adds a callback function to be called when a given body moves a certain distance (rotation is not taken into account). The signature of the position callback function must be as follows:
Source code (C++)
void position_callback_function_name(BodyPtr body);

You can set a callback function as follows:

Source code (C++)
setPositionCallback(MakeCallback(position_callback_function_name));
Notice
Physics-based callbacks are executed in parallel with the main tread, so you should not modify nodes inside these functions. If you want to reposition, transform, create or delete nodes captured by your callback function, you can store them in the array and then perform all necessary operations in the update(). See the example for contact callbacks

Example: Setting a body position callback function for a certain class:

Source code (C++)
class SomeClass {

	/*...*/
	
	// body for which a position callback function is to be set
	Unigine::BodyPtr body;
	
	/*...*/
};

/*...*/

// callback function
void SomeClass::on_position(BodyPtr body)
{
	// insert your code handling position changes here
}

void SomeClass::registerCallback()
{
	// setting the on_position() function to handle position changes for the body
	body->setPositionCallback(MakeCallback(this, &SomeClass::on_position));
}
Notice
Physics-based callbacks are executed not immediately, but before the next flush() or next update() of the world script.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<PositionCallback> & func - Callback function.

void setContactCallback(const Ptr<ContactCallback> & func)

Adds a callback function to be called when a contact with the body emerges. The body might have no information on some of its contacts with other physical bodies, as these contacts can be handled by other bodies. The contact callback function is to be used to detect all contacts in which the body participates.
Notice
Physics-based callbacks are not executed immediately, but before the next flush() or next update() of the world script.
The signature of the contact callback function must be as follows:
Source code (C++)
void contact_callback_function_name(BodyPtr body, int num);

You can set a callback function as follows:

Source code (C++)
setContactCallback(MakeCallback(contact_callback_function_name));

Example: Setting a body contact callback function for a certain class:

Source code (C++)
class SomeClass {

	/*...*/
	
	// body for which a contact callback function is to be set
	Unigine::BodyPtr body;
	
	/*...*/
};

/*...*/

// callback function
void SomeClass::on_contact(BodyPtr body, int num)
{
	// insert your code handling contacts here
}

void SomeClass::registerCallback()
{
	// setting the on_contact() function to handle contacts for the body
	body->setContactCallback(MakeCallback(this, &SomeClass::on_contact));
}
Notice
Physics-based callbacks are executed in parallel with the main tread, so you should not modify nodes inside these functions.

If you want to reposition, transform, create or delete nodes captured by your callback function, you can store them in the array and then perform all necessary operations in the update():

Source code (C++)
// list of collisions that were processed by other bodies
Vector<BodyPtr> unregistered_collisions;

// flag indicating if collisions were detected
int collision_detected = 0;

/*...*/

void contact_callback(BodyPtr body, int num)
{
	// collision was detected
	collision_detected = 1;

	// if the collision is processed by other body, adding it to the list
	if (body != this_body)
		unregistered_collisions.append(body);
}

/*...*/

int update()
{
	if (collision_detected)
	{
		// resetting collision flag
		collision_detected = 0;
		for (int i = 0; i< body->getNumContacts(); i++)
		{
			// process all nodes with which collisions were registered
			NodePtr node = body->getContactObject(i)->getNode();

			// changing node's rotation
			if (node)
				node->setRotation(quat(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 90.0f));
		}
		for (int i = 0; i < unregistered_collisions.size(); i++)
		{
			// process all unregistered collisions
			NodePtr node = unregistered_collisions[i]->getObject()->getNode();

			// deleting a node
			if (node)
				Editor::get()->removeNode(node);
        }
		// clearing the list of unregistered collisions after processing them
