BodyRigid Class

Members

BodyRigid ()

Constructor. Creates a rigid body with default properties.

BodyRigid (const Ptr<Object> & object)

Constructor. Creates a rigid body with default properties for a given object.

Arguments

const Ptr<Object> & object - Object approximated with the new rigid body.

void addWorldForce (const Math::Vec3 & point, const Math::vec3 & force)

Applies a force to the given point of the body that is specified in world coordinates. This function calculates the cross product of the radius vector (a vector from the center of mass to the point where force is applied) and the force vector (the magnitude of the force). It acts like a lever arm that changes both linear and angular velocities of the body.

Unlike impulses, all forces are accumulated first, then the resulting force is calculated and applied to the body (during the physics simulation stage, when the body update is called).

Notice

You can call this function only from within flush() in the world script. Do not apply forces in the update(); otherwise, you will get unstable result that varies each rendering frame.

Arguments

const Math::Vec3 & point - Point of the body, in world coordinates.
const Math::vec3 & force - Force to apply.

float getAngularDamping ()

Returns the angular damping of the body.

Return value

Angular damping.

Math::mat3 getIWorldInertia ()

Returns the inverse inertia tensor of the body, in the world coordinates.

Return value

Inverse inertia tensor of the body, in the world coordinates.

int createShapes (int depth = 4, float error = 0.01, float threshold = 0.01)

Removes all previously created shapes and creates one or more convex shapes approximating the mesh.

Arguments

int depth - Degree of decomposition of the mesh. If 0 or a negative value is provided, only one shape will be created. If a positive n is provided, the mesh will be decomposed n times. This is an optional parameter.
float error - Approximation error, which is used to create convex hulls. This is an optional parameter.
float threshold - Threshold, which is used to decide, whether two adjoining convex shapes can be replaced with one larger shape. A pair of shapes is replaced with a larger shape, if their volumes are roughly the same. This value is clamped in the range [1 E-6; 1]. This is an optional parameter.

Return value

1 if the convex shapes are created successfully; otherwise 0.

void addForce (const Math::vec3 & force)
