Members


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 world 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).

Notice
You can call this function only from flush() function in the world script. Do not apply forces in the update() function, because you will get unstable result that varies each rendering frame.

Arguments

  • vec3 radius - radius vector, traced from the center of mass of the body to the point where the force is applied.
  • vec3 force - the value of the applied force.

void addForce (vec3 force)

Applies a force to the body's center of mass.

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).

Notice
You can call this function only from flush() function in the world script. Do not apply forces in the update() function, because you will get unstable result that varies each rendering frame.

Arguments

  • vec3 force - the value of the applied force.

void addImpulse (vec3 radius, vec3 impulse)

Applies an impulse to the radius vector of the body, specified in the world coordinates.

Unlike forces, impulses immediately affect both linear and angular velocities of the body.

Arguments

  • vec3 radius - radius vector, traced from the center of mass to the point where the impulse is applied.
  • vec3 impulse - the value of the applied impulse.

void addTorque (vec3 radius, vec3 torque)

Applies a torque to the radius vector of the body, specified in the world coordinates.

This function calculates the cross product of the radius vector and the force vector.

It acts like a lever arm that changes both angular and linear velocities of the body.

All torque values are accumulated first, then the resulting torque is calculated and applied to the body (during the physics simulation stage, when the body update is called).

Notice
You can call this function only from flush() function in the world script. Do not apply forces in the update() function, because you will get unstable result that varies each rendering frame.

Arguments

  • vec3 radius - Radius vector starting in the body's center of mass in local coordinates. Its end is the point of torque application.
  • vec3 torque - the value of the applied torque.

void addTorque (vec3 torque)

All torque values are accumulated first, then the resulting torque is calculated and applied to the body (during the physics simulation stage, when the body update() function is called).

Notice
You can call this function only from flush() function in the world script. Do not apply forces in the update() function, because you will get unstable result that varies each rendering frame.

Arguments

  • vec3 torque - the value of the applied torque.

void addWorldForce (vec3 point, vec3 force)

Applies a force to the given point of the body, that is specified in world coordinates. This function calculates the cross product of the radius vector (a vector from the center of mass to the point where force is applied) and the force vector (the magnitude of the force). 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 is called).
Notice
You can call this function only from within flush() in the world script. Do not apply forces in the update(); otherwise, you will get unstable result that varies each rendering frame.

  • vec3 point - Point of the body in world coordinates.
  • vec3 force - Amount of force to apply.

void addWorldImpulse (vec3 point, vec3 impulse)

Applies an impulse to the given point of the body, that is specified in world coordinates. Unlike forces, impulses immediately affect both linear and angular velocities of the body.

Arguments

  • vec3 point - Point of the body in world coordinates.
  • vec3 impulse - Amount of impulse to apply.

void addWorldTorque (vec3 point, vec3 torque)

Applies a torque to the given point of the body, that is specified in world coordinates. This function calculates the cross product of the radius vector (a vector from the center of mass to the point where torque is applied) and the force vector (the magnitude of the torque). It acts like a lever arm that changes both angular and linear velocities of the body.
All torque values are accumulated first, then the resulting torque is calculated and applied to the body (during the physics simulation stage, when the body update is called).
