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.

Notice
The maximum number of collision shapes for one body is limited to 32768.

To transform a body, one of the following functions can be used:

All of these functions take effect when physics calculations are over and updatePhysics() 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).

Bodies interact with each other via joints or contacts. A contact can be handled by any of the bodies that participate in it. To which body a contact is assigned is random. If the contact is assigned to and handled by the body it is called an internal one, otherwise it is called external (handled by another body). The total number of contacts for the body includes all, internal and external ones. Iterating through internal contacts is much faster than through external ones, thus you might want a certain body to handle most of the contacts it participates in. This can be done for a rigid body by raising a priority for it via the setHighPriorityContacts() method.

Within the body contacts are referred to via their numbers, in the range from 0 to the total number of contacts. While globally each contact has an ID to refer to it, this can be used .

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

  • addFrozenCallback() - to perform some actions when a body freezes.
  • addPositionCallback() - to perform some actions when a body changes its position.
  • addContactEnterCallback() - to perform some actions when a contact emerges (body starts touching another body or collidable surface).
  • addContactLeaveCallback() - to perform some actions when a contact ends (body stops touching another body or collidable surface).
  • addContactsCallback() - to get all contacts of the body including new ones (enter) and the ending ones (leave). Leave contacts are removed after the callback execution stage, so this is the only point where you can still get them.

	// body for which a frozen callback function is to be set

}
Notice
Physics-based callbacks are executed in the main thread, as they are mainly used for creation, destruction or modification of other objects.

Arguments

Return value

ID of the last added contact enter callback, if the callback was added successfully; otherwise, nullptr. This ID can be used to remove this callback when necessary.

bool removeContactEnterCallback ( void * id ) #

Removes the specified callback from the list of contact enter callbacks. These callbacks are called when a contact with the body emerges (the body begins touching another body).

Arguments

  • void * id - Contact callback ID obtained when adding it.

Return value

true if the contact enter callback with the given ID was removed successfully; otherwise false.

void clearContactEnterCallbacks ( ) #

Clears all added contact enter callbacks. These callbacks are called when a contact with the body emerges (the body begins touching another body).

void * addContactLeaveCallback ( Unigine::CallbackBase2< Ptr<Body>, int> * func ) #

Adds a callback function to be called when a contact with the body ends (the body stops touching another body). The signature of the callback function must be as follows:
Source code (C++)
void contact_leave_callback_function_name(BodyPtr body, int num); // num is the contact ID

You can set a callback function as follows:

Source code (C++)
addContactLeaveCallback(MakeCallback(contact_leave_callback_function_name));

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

Source code (C++)
class SomeClass {

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

/*...*/

// callback function (num is the contact ID)
void SomeClass::on_contact_leave(BodyPtr body, int num)
{
	// insert your code handling contacts here
}

void SomeClass::registerCallback()
{
	// setting the on_contact_leave() function to handle ending contacts for the body
	body->addContactLeaveCallback(MakeCallback(this, &SomeClass::on_contact_leave));
}
Notice
Physics-based callbacks are executed in the main thread, as they are mainly used for creation, destruction or modification of other objects.

Arguments

Return value

ID of the last added contact leave callback, if the callback was added successfully; otherwise, nullptr. This ID can be used to remove this callback when necessary.

bool removeContactLeaveCallback ( void * id ) #

Removes the specified callback from the list of contact leave callbacks. These callbacks are called when a contact with the body ends (the body stops touching another body).

Arguments

  • void * id - Contact callback ID obtained when adding it.

Return value

true if the contact leave callback with the given ID was removed successfully; otherwise false.

void clearContactLeaveCallbacks ( ) #

Clears all added contact leave callbacks. These callbacks are called when a contact with the body ends (the body stops touching another body).

void renderContacts ( ) #

Renders all contact points of the body including internal and external ones (handled by other bodies).
Notice
You should enable the engine visualizer via the show_visualizer 1 console command.

void renderExternalContacts ( ) #

Renders all external contacts of the body (handled by other bodies).
Notice
You should enable the engine visualizer via the show_visualizer 1 console command.

void renderInternalContacts ( ) #

Renders all internal contacts of the body (handled by it).
Notice
You should enable the engine visualizer via the show_visualizer 1 console command.

void renderJoints ( ) #

Renders joints to which the body is connected.
Notice
You should enable the engine visualizer via the show_visualizer 1 console command.

void renderShapes ( ) #

Renders shapes comprising the body.
Notice
You should enable the engine visualizer via the show_visualizer 1 console command.

void renderVisualizer ( ) #

Renders shapes, joints and contact points of the body.
Notice
You should enable the engine visualizer via the show_visualizer 1 console command.

Ptr<Body> clone ( const Ptr<Object> & object ) const#

Clones the body and assigns a copy to a given object.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Object> & object - Object, to which the copy will be assigned.

Return value

Copy of the body.

void swap ( const Ptr<Body> & body ) const#

Swaps the bodies saving the pointers.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Body> & body - Body to swap.

bool saveState ( const Ptr<Stream> & stream ) const#

Saves the state of a given body into a binary stream.

Example using saveState() and restoreState() methods:

Source code (C++)
// set the body state
body->setPosition(vec3(1, 1, 0));

// save state
BlobPtr blob_state = Blob::create();
body->saveState(blob_state);

// change the state
body->setPosition(vec3(0, 0, 0));

// restore state
blob_state->seekSet(0);       // returning the carriage to the start of the blob
body->restoreState(blob_state);

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Stream> & stream - Stream to save body state data.

Return value

true if the body state is successfully saved; otherwise, false.

bool restoreState ( const Ptr<Stream> & stream ) #

Restores the state of a given body from a binary stream.

Example using saveState() and restoreState() methods:

Source code (C++)
// set the body state
body->setPosition(vec3(1, 1, 0));

// save state
BlobPtr blob_state = Blob::create();
body->saveState(blob_state);

// change the state
body->setPosition(vec3(0, 0, 0));

// restore state
blob_state->seekSet(0);       // returning the carriage to the start of the blob
body->restoreState(blob_state);

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Stream> & stream - Stream with saved body state data.

Return value

true if the body state is successfully restored; otherwise, false.
