void setAngularRestitution ( float restitution ) #

Sets the current angular restitution (stiffness) of the joint. Angular restitution defines how fast the joint compensates for change of the angle between two bodies. When bodies are turned relative each other, restitution controls the magnitude of force which is applied to both bodies so that their anchor points to become aligned again. For example:
  • 1 means that the joint is to return bodies in place throughout 1 physics tick.
  • 0.2 means that the joint is to return bodies in place throughout 5 physics ticks.
The maximum value of 1 can lead to destabilization of physics (as too great forces are applied).

Arguments

  • float restitution - Angular restitution. The provided value will be clamped in the range [0;1].

float getAngularRestitution ( ) const#

Returns the current angular restitution (stiffness) of the joint. Angular restitution defines how fast the joint compensates for change of the angle between two bodies. When bodies are turned relative each other, restitution controls the magnitude of force which is applied to both bodies so that their anchor points to become aligned again. For example:
  • 1 means that the joint is to return bodies in place throughout 1 physics tick.
  • 0.2 means that the joint is to return bodies in place throughout 5 physics ticks.
The maximum value of 1 can lead to destabilization of physics (as too great forces are applied).
