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 is assigned one or several collision shapes, which can be connected together with joints. To transform a body, one of the following functions can be used: There are three ways to transform a body:

All of these function take effect when physics calculations are over and its flush is performed. Only after that transformations of the body are applied to the rendered node. If a node need 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).
