Actions Documentation

BuildJacobian()

This action returns the amount of impulse that should be applied to the items in the joints to allow them to continue to be joined.

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)

GetAppliedImpulse()

This action returns the amount of impulse that should be applied to the items in the joints to allow them to continue to be joined.

Return

number: the amount of impulse that should be applied to the items.

GetEdgeA()

This action returns the first JointEdge3D stored inside this Joint3D.

Return

Libraries.Game.Physics.Joints.JointEdge3D: the first JointEdge3D stored inside this Joint3D.

GetEdgeB()

This action returns the second JointEdge3D stored inside this Joint3D.

Return

Libraries.Game.Physics.Joints.JointEdge3D: the second JointEdge3D stored inside this Joint3D.

GetHashCode()

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Return

integer: The integer hash code of the object.

Example

Object o
integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

GetInformation(Libraries.Game.Physics.CollisionSolverInformation3D information)

This action returns the type of joint that you have.

Parameters

GetItemA()

This action returns the first 3D item that is joined by this Joint3D.

Return

Libraries.Interface.Item3D: the first 3D item that is joined by this Joint3D.

GetItemB()

This action returns the second 3D item that is joined by this Joint3D.

Return

Libraries.Interface.Item3D: the second 3D item that is joined by this Joint3D.

GetNext()

This action gets you the next information about a joint (stored in another Joint3D) inside a linked list of Joint3Ds.

Return

Libraries.Game.Physics.Joints.Joint3D: the next joint.

GetPrevious()

This action gets you the previous information about a joint (stored in another Joint3D) inside a linked list of Joint3Ds.

Return

Libraries.Game.Physics.Joints.Joint3D: the previous joint.

GetType()

This action returns the type of joint that you have.

Return

integer: the type of joint that you have.

InCollisionGroup()

This action returns whether this joint is been accounted for in a collision group.

Return

boolean: true when the joint has already been assigned to a collision group, false if the joint is not

SetAppliedImpulse(number impulse)

This action sets the amount of impulse that should be applied to the items in the joints to allow them to continue to be joined.

Parameters

  • number impulse: The amount of impulse that should be applied to the items

SetEdgeA(Libraries.Game.Physics.Joints.JointEdge3D edgeA)

This action sets the first JointEdge3D stored inside this Joint3D.

Parameters

SetEdgeB(Libraries.Game.Physics.Joints.JointEdge3D edgeB)

This action sets the second JointEdge3D stored inside this Joint3D.

Parameters

SetInCollisionGroup(boolean flag)

This action sets whether this joint is been accounted for in a collision group.

Parameters

  • boolean flag: True if the joint has been assigned to a collision group.

SetItemA(Libraries.Interface.Item3D item)

This action sets the first 3D item that is joined by this Joint3D.

Parameters

SetItemB(Libraries.Interface.Item3D item)

This action sets the second 3D item that is joined by this Joint3D.

Parameters

SetNext(Libraries.Game.Physics.Joints.Joint3D next)

This action lets you store another information about a joint (stored in another Joint3D) as a next link to the current Joint3D.

Parameters

SetPrevious(Libraries.Game.Physics.Joints.Joint3D previous)

This action lets you store another information about a joint (stored in another Joint3D) as a previous link to the current Joint3D.

Parameters

SetType(integer type)

This action sets the type of joint that you have. BallAndSocket = 0, Hinge = 1, Customizable = 2, Slider = 3

Parameters

  • integer type: The type of joint that you have.

SolveJoint(number timeStep)

This action sets the type of joint that you have. BallAndSocket = 0, Hinge = 1, Customizable = 2, Slider = 3

Parameters

  • number timeStep
