JointSuspension Class
Warning
The 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.

Warning
This joint type is deprecated and will be removed in the upcoming releases. It is recommended to use the Wheel Joint instead.
This class is used to create a suspension joint. The bodies that represent both a frame and a wheel must be rigid bodies.
Example#
The following code illustrates connection of two rigid bodies (frame and wheel) using a suspension joint.
Source code (UnigineScript)
JointSuspension joint = class_remove(new JointSuspension(frame, wheel));
// setting joint anchor coordinates
joint.setWorldAnchor(wheel.getObject().getWorldTransform() * Vec3_zero);
// setting joint axes coordinates
joint.setWorldAxis0(vec3(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f));
joint.setWorldAxis1(vec3(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f));
// setting linear damping and spring rigidity
joint.setLinearDamping(2.0f);
joint.setLinearSpring(200.0f);
// setting lower and upper suspension ride limits [-0.5; 0.0]
joint.setLinearLimitFrom(-0.5f);
joint.setLinearLimitTo(0.0f);
// setting target suspension height
joint.setLinearDistance(0.5f);
// setting maximum angular velocity and torque
joint.setAngularVelocity(-20.0f);
joint.setAngularTorque(10.0f);
// setting common joint constraint parameters
joint.setLinearRestitution(0.2f);
joint.setAngularRestitution(0.2f);
joint.setLinearSoftness(0.2f);
joint.setAngularSoftness(0.2f);
// setting number of iterations
joint.setNumIterations(8);See Also#
