Unigine::PhysicalTrigger Class

Header: #include <UniginePhysicals.h>
Inherits from: Physical

Physical triggers fire callbacks when a physical object gets inside or outside of them. To be detected by the trigger, physical objects are required to have at the same time both:

  1. Bodies (with matching Physical Mask)
    Notice
    For BodyDummy to trigger PhysicalTrigger, you need to call updateContacts() first.
  2. Shapes (with matching Collision mask)

To force update of the physical trigger updateContacts() can be called. After that, you can access all updated data about the contacts in the same frame. However, callback functions will still be executed only when the next engine function is called: that is, before updatePhysics() (in the current frame), or before the update() (in the next frame) — whatever comes first.

Notice
If you have moved some nodes and want to get callbacks based on changed positions in the same frame, you need to call updateSpatial() first.

Usage Example#

In this example a physical trigger and two boxes, each with a body and a shape, are created. When a box with matching physical mask enters the physical trigger the trigger_enter() function is called, when it leaves the trigger - the trigger_leave() function is called.

In the AppWorldLogic.h file let us add the following code:

Source code (C++)
#include <UniginePhysics.h>
#include <UniginePhysicals.h>
#include <UnigineConsole.h>
#include <UnigineGame.h>

class AppWorldLogic : public Unigine::WorldLogic
{

public:
// ...
private:

	// pointer to the physical trigger
	Unigine::PhysicalTriggerPtr trigger;

	// pointers to physical objects
	Unigine::ObjectMeshDynamicPtr box1;
	Unigine::ObjectMeshDynamicPtr box2;
};

In the AppWorldLogic.cpp file let us add the following code:

Source code (C++)
#include "AppWorldLogic.h"

using namespace Unigine;
using namespace Math;

// callback function to be fired when a physical object enters the trigger
void trigger_enter(BodyPtr body)
{
	// trying to get an object from the body
	ObjectPtr obj = body->getObject();
	if (!obj)
		return;

	// enabling material emission for all object's surfaces
	for (int i = 0; i < obj->getNumSurfaces(); i++)
		obj->setMaterialState("emission", 1, i);

	// displaying the name of the object entering trigger area
	Log::message("\n %s has entered the trigger area!", body->getObject()->getName());
}

// callback function to be fired when a physical object leaves the trigger
void trigger_leave(BodyPtr body)
{
	// trying to get an object from the body
	ObjectPtr obj = body->getObject();
	if (!obj)
		return;

	// disabling material emission for all object's surfaces
	for (int i = 0; i < obj->getNumSurfaces(); i++)
		obj->setMaterialState("emission", 0, i);

	// displaying the name of the object leaving trigger area
	Log::message("\n %s has left the trigger area!", body->getObject()->getName());
}

/// function, creating a named box having a specified size, color and transformation with a body and a shape
ObjectMeshDynamicPtr createBodyBox(const char* name, vec3 size, float mass, vec4 color, Mat4 transform, int physical_mask)
{
	// creating geometry and setting up its parameters (name, material and transformation)
	ObjectMeshDynamicPtr OMD = Primitives::createBox(size);
	OMD->setWorldTransform(transform);
	OMD->setMaterialParameterFloat4("albedo_color", color, 0);
	OMD->setName(name);

	// adding physics, i.e. a rigid body and a box shape with specified mass
	BodyRigidPtr body = BodyRigid::create(OMD);
	body->addShape(ShapeBox::create(size), translate(vec3(0.0f)));
	OMD->getBody()->getShape(0)->setMass(mass);
	// setting the physical mask of the body
	body->setPhysicalMask(physical_mask);

	return OMD;
}

int AppWorldLogic::init()
{
	//enabling visualizer to render bounds of the physical trigger
	Console::run("show_visualizer 1");

	// creating a physical trigger
	trigger = PhysicalTrigger::create(Shape::SHAPE_BOX, vec3(2.0f, 2.0f, 1.0f));

	// setting trigger's position
	trigger->setPosition(Vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f));

	// setting trigger's physical mask equal to 1
	trigger->setPhysicalMask(1);

	// retrieving trigger size
	vec3 size = trigger->getSize();

	// displaying trigger size and shape type
	Log::message("\n Trigger parameters size(%f, %f ,%f) type: %d", size.x, size.y, size.z, trigger->getShapeType());

	// adding trigger enter callback function
	trigger->addEnterCallback(MakeCallback(&trigger_enter));

	// adding trigger leave callback function
	trigger->addLeaveCallback(MakeCallback(&trigger_leave));

	// creating a box with a body and physical mask value equal to 2 to be ignored by the trigger
	box1 = createBodyBox("Box1", vec3(0.2f), 5.0f, vec4(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), translate(Vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 2.22f)), 2);

	// creating a box with a body and physical mask value equal to 1 to affect the trigger
	box2 = createBodyBox("Box2", vec3(0.2f), 0.0f, vec4(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), translate(Vec3(3.5f, 0.0f, 1.2f)), 1);

	// displaying physical masks of both boxes and the trigger
	Log::message("\n Box1 Physical mask: %d", box1->getBody()->getPhysicalMask());
	Log::message("\n Box2 Physical mask: %d", box2->getBody()->getPhysicalMask());
	Log::message("\n Trigger Physical mask: %d", trigger->getPhysicalMask());

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::update()
{
	// showing the bounds of the physical trigger
	trigger->renderVisualizer();

	// changing the position of the second box
	box2->setWorldPosition(box2->getWorldPosition() - Vec3(0.5f * Game::getIFps(), 0.0f, 0.0f));

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::updatePhysics()
{
	// updating information on trigger contacts
	trigger->updateContacts();
