Libraries.Game.Physics.Joints.CustomizableJoint3D Documentation

This class is a class that allows a joint to have the ability to rotate around any axis and move anywhere in 3D space. The angular limit in the x-direction is from -pi to pi; y-direction is from -pi/2 to pi/2; z-direction is from -pi/2 to pi/2.

Actions Documentation

BuildAngularJacobian(integer jacobianAngularIndex, Libraries.Compute.Vector3 jointAxisW)

This action finds values that are useful for calculating the angular difference between the two objects. This action is used internally.

Parameters

BuildJacobian()

This action calls the BuildAngularJacobian and BuildLinearJacobian. This action is called by the Collision Solver to gather information on the joint before calling the SolveJoint action. This action is used internally.

BuildLinearJacobian(integer jacobianLinearIndex, Libraries.Compute.Vector3 normalWorld, Libraries.Compute.Vector3 pivotAInW, Libraries.Compute.Vector3 pivotBInW)

This action finds the values that are useful to calculate if the two objects are within the position limits. This action is used internally.

Parameters

CalculateAnchorPosition()

This action calculates the center of the system that composes of object A and object B. This action is used internally.

CalculateAngleInfo()

This action calculates the angular difference between object A and object B. This action is used internally.

CalculateTransforms()

This action calculates the angular difference and position difference of the joint between objects A and B. This action is used internally.

Compare(Libraries.Language.Object object)

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Parameters

Return

integer: The Compare result, Smaller, Equal, or Larger.

Example

Object o
Object t
integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

Equals(Libraries.Language.Object object)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Parameters

Return

boolean: True if the hash codes are equal and false if they are not equal.

Example

use Libraries.Language.Object
use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
Object o
Text t
boolean result = o:Equals(t)
