JointCylindrical Class

WarningThe scope of applications for UnigineScript is limited to implementing materials-related logic (material expressions, scriptable materials, brush materials). Do not use UnigineScript as a language for application logic, please consider C#/C++ instead, as these APIs are the preferred ones. Availability of new Engine features in UnigineScript (beyond its scope of applications) is not guaranteed, as the current level of support assumes only fixing critical issues.

Inherits from:

Joint

This class is used to create cylindrical joints.

Example#

The following code illustrates connection of two bodies (b0 and b1) using a cylindrical joint.

Source code (UnigineScript)

JointCylindrical joint = class_remove(new JointCylindrical(b0, b1));
	
// setting joint axis coordinates
joint.setWorldAxis(vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f));

// setting common joint constraint parameters
joint.setLinearRestitution(0.4f);
joint.setAngularRestitution(0.4f);
joint.setLinearSoftness(0.4f);
joint.setAngularSoftness(0.4f);

// setting linear and angular damping
joint.setLinearDamping(4.0f);
joint.setAngularDamping(2.0f);

// setting linear limits [-1.5; 1.5]
joint.setLinearLimitFrom(-1.5f);
joint.setLinearLimitTo(1.5f);

// setting number of iterations
joint.setNumIterations(16);
