Actions Documentation

ApplyAngularImpulse(Libraries.Compute.Vector3 impulse)

This action applied an angular impulse to the object which will cause the object to have a sudden change in angular velocity.

Parameters

ApplyDamping(number seconds)

This action applies the scale factors that will decrease the linear and angular velocities that we calculated.

Parameters

  • number seconds: The amount of time in the future.

ApplyForce(Libraries.Compute.Vector3 force, Libraries.Compute.Vector3 point)

This action applies the force that you passed in to a point that you passed in.

Parameters

ApplyForceToCenter(Libraries.Compute.Vector3 force)

This action applies a force to the center pf mass of the object.

Parameters

ApplyLinearImpulse(Libraries.Compute.Vector3 impulse, Libraries.Compute.Vector3 point)

This action applies a linear impulse to the object at a specified point, which will lead to a sudden change in linear velocity of the object. This will also lead to a sudden change in angular velocity of the object if the linear impulse is not applied at the center of mass of the object.

Parameters

ApplyLinearImpulseToCenter(Libraries.Compute.Vector3 impulse)

This action applies an linear impulse to the center of mass of this object.

Parameters

ApplyTorque(Libraries.Compute.Vector3 torque)

This action applies a torque to the center of mass of the object, which means this torque will only affect the angular velocity of the object but not the linear velocity of the object.

Parameters

CanRotate(boolean flag)

This action sets whether the 3D object attached to this property holder will be able to rotate or not.

Parameters

  • boolean flag: True if this object can rotate.

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)

This action allows another PhysicsProperties3D object to be assigned by the values stored inside the current PhysicsProperties3D object.

Return

Libraries.Game.Physics.PhysicsProperties3D: the other PhysicsProperties3D to copy from.

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
