PlayerActor Class
Properties
int NumContacts#
The number of contacts, in which the player's capsule participates.
ShapeCapsule Shape#
A shape, which approximates the actor in physical interactions.
Body Body#
A rigid body, if the body is simulated physically (isPhysical(1)); otherwise a dummy body will be returned (isPhysical(0)).
int Ceiling#
A value indicating if the actor touches the ceiling surface with its head.
set
Sets a value indicating if the actor touches the ceiling surface with its head.
set value -
Positive value to indicate that an actor touches the ceiling; otherwise, 0.
int Ground#
A flag indicating if the actor currently stands on the ground surface. this flag is used to determine the actor state, i.e. play the corresponding skinned animation of standing/walking instead of being in the air.
set
Sets a flag indicating that the actor currently stands on the ground surface. This flag is used to set actor state, i.e. play the corresponding skinned animation of standing/walking instead of being in the air.

vec3 ViewDirection#
The current player's view direction vector.
set
Sets a new Player's view direction vector.
set value -

float ThetaAngle#
The theta angle (zenith angle, also known as pitch angle). this angle determines the vertical viewing direction, i.e. upwards or downwards. if a positive value is returned, the player looks upwards; if a negative value is returned, the player looks downwards. the value is clamped between the minimum and the maximum theta angle.
set
Sets the theta angle of the player (zenith angle, also known as pitch angle). This angle determines the vertical viewing direction, i.e. upward and downward. The value will be clamped between the minimum and the maximum theta angle.

New angle in degrees in range [-90;90]. If a positive value is specified, the player will look upwards; if a negative value is specified, the player will look downwards.
float PhiAngle#
The phi angle (azimuth angle, also known as yaw angle). this angle determines the horizontal viewing direction, i.e. left or right. positive values rotate the player right; negative values rotate the player left.
set
Sets the phi angle (azimuth angle, also known as yaw angle). This angle determines the horizontal viewing direction, i.e. left or right.
set value -
New angle in degrees. Positive values rotate the player to the right; negative values rotate it to the left.
float MaxStepHeight#
The maximum height of a surface to which the player can make a step.
set
Sets the maximum step height. The value defines the maximum height of a surface to which the player can make a step; it can be used for walking up and down the stairs and over curbs.

Notice
Used only when the body is not simulated physically (isPhysical(0)).

To avoid issues with incorrect orientation when using
setWorldTransform() and getWorldTransform() methods the following code should be used:
Mind the axes in this method: X - right, Y - up, Z - back. It is important, that axes for PlayerActor in the getWorldTransform() method are different: X - right, Y - front, Z - up.

// to save:
Mat4 transform = player_actor.getWorldTransform();
Vec3 front = transform.getColumn3(1);
