Detailed Description

Contact report pair information.

Instances of this class are passed to PxSimulationEventCallback.onContact(). If contact reports have been requested for a pair of shapes (see PxPairFlag), then the corresponding contact information will be provided through this structure.

Member Data Documentation

Number of contact points stored in the contact stream.

Referenced by bufferContacts(), extractContacts(), and getInternalFaceIndices().

Buffer containing applied impulse data.

This pointer is only valid if contact point information has been requested for the contact report pair (see PxPairFlag::eNOTIFY_CONTACT_POINTS). Use extractContacts() as a reference for the data layout of the stream.

Referenced by bufferContacts(), extractContacts(), and getInternalFaceIndices().

Pointer to first patch header in contact stream containing contact patch data.

This pointer is only valid if contact point information has been requested for the contact report pair (see PxPairFlag::eNOTIFY_CONTACT_POINTS). Use extractContacts() as a reference for the data layout of the stream.

Referenced by bufferContacts(), and extractContacts().

Pointer to first contact point in contact stream containing contact data.

This pointer is only valid if contact point information has been requested for the contact report pair (see PxPairFlag::eNOTIFY_CONTACT_POINTS). Use extractContacts() as a reference for the data layout of the stream.

Referenced by bufferContacts(), and extractContacts().

Size of the contact stream [bytes] not including force buffer.

Referenced by bufferContacts().

Flags raised due to the contact.

The events field is a combination of:

See the documentation of PxPairFlag for an explanation of each.

Note:
eNOTIFY_TOUCH_CCD can get raised even if the pair did not request this event. However, in such a case it will only get raised in combination with one of the other flags to point out that the other event occured during a CCD pass.

PxContactPairFlag

Referenced by extractContacts().

Number of contact patches stored in the contact stream.

Referenced by bufferContacts(), and extractContacts().

Size of the contact stream [bytes] including force buffer.

The two shapes that make up the pair.

Note:
The shape pointers might reference deleted shapes. This will be the case if PxPairFlag::eNOTIFY_TOUCH_LOST or PxPairFlag::eNOTIFY_THRESHOLD_FORCE_LOST events were requested for the pair and one of the involved shapes gets deleted. Check the flags member to see whether that is the case. Do not dereference a pointer to a deleted shape. The pointer to a deleted shape is only provided such that user data structures which might depend on the pointer value can be updated.
