virtual PxJoint::~PxJoint ( ) [inline, protected, virtual]

PxJoint::PxJoint ( ) [inline, protected]

Member Function Documentation

virtual void PxJoint::getActors	(	PxRigidActor *&	actor0,
		PxRigidActor *&	actor1
	)			const `[pure virtual]`

Get the actors for this joint.

Parameters:

`[out]`	actor0	the first actor.
`[out]`	actor1	the second actor

See also:: setActors()

virtual void PxJoint::getBreakForce	(	PxReal &	force,
		PxReal &	torque
	)			const `[pure virtual]`

get the break force for this joint.

Parameters:

`[out]`	force	the maximum force the joint can apply before breaking
`[out]`	torque	the maximum torque the joint can apply before breaking

See also:: setBreakForce()

virtual PxConstraint* PxJoint::getConstraint ( ) const [pure virtual]

Retrieves the PxConstraint corresponding to this joint.

This can be used to determine, among other things, the force applied at the joint.

Returns:: the constraint

virtual PxConstraintFlags PxJoint::getConstraintFlags ( ) const [pure virtual]

get the constraint flags for this joint.

Returns:: the constraint flags

See also:: PxConstraintFlag

virtual PxTransform PxJoint::getLocalPose ( PxJointActorIndex::Enum actor ) const [pure virtual]

get the joint local pose for an actor.

Parameters:

[in] actor 0 for the first actor, 1 for the second actor.

return the local pose for this joint

See also:: setLocalPose()

static void PxJoint::getMetaData ( PxSerialStream & stream ) [static]

Reimplemented from PxSerializable.

virtual const char* PxJoint::getName ( ) const [pure virtual]

Retrieves the name string set with setName().

Returns:: Name string associated with object.

See also:: setName()

virtual PxScene* PxJoint::getScene ( ) const [pure virtual]

Retrieves the scene which this joint belongs to.

Returns:: Owner Scene. NULL if not part of a scene.

See also:: PxScene

virtual PxJointType::Enum PxJoint::getType ( ) const [pure virtual]

Retrieves the type of this joint.

Returns:: the joint type

See also:: PxJointType

Referenced by physx::repx::getBasePtr(), and physx::repx::getExtensionNameForType().

virtual bool PxJoint::isKindOf ( const char * name ) const [inline, protected, virtual]

Reimplemented from PxSerializable.

Reimplemented in PxD6Joint, PxDistanceJoint, PxFixedJoint, PxPrismaticJoint, PxRevoluteJoint, and PxSphericalJoint.

References PxSerializable::isKindOf().

Referenced by PxSphericalJoint::isKindOf(), PxRevoluteJoint::isKindOf(), PxPrismaticJoint::isKindOf(), PxFixedJoint::isKindOf(), PxDistanceJoint::isKindOf(), and PxD6Joint::isKindOf().

virtual void PxJoint::release ( ) [pure virtual]

Deletes the joint.

virtual void PxJoint::setActors	(	PxRigidActor *	actor0,
		PxRigidActor *	actor1
	)			`[pure virtual]`

Set the actors for this joint.

An actor may be NULL to indicate the world frame. At most one of the actors may be NULL.

Parameters:

`[in]`	actor0	the first actor.
`[in]`	actor1	the second actor

See also:: getActors()

virtual void PxJoint::setBreakForce	(	PxReal	force,
		PxReal	torque
	)			`[pure virtual]`

set the break force for this joint.

if the constraint force or torque on the joint exceeds the specified values, the joint will break, at which point it will not constrain the two actors and the flag PxConstraintFlag::eBROKEN will be set. The force and torque are measured in the joint frame of the first actor

Parameters:

`[in]`	force	the maximum force the joint can apply before breaking
`[in]`	torque	the maximum torque the joint can apply before breaking

See also:: getBreakForce() PxConstraintFlag::eBREAKABLE

virtual void PxJoint::setConstraintFlag	(	PxConstraintFlag::Type	flag,
		bool	value
	)			`[pure virtual]`

set a constraint flags for this joint to a specified value.

Parameters:

`[in]`	flag	the constraint flag
`[in]`	value	the value to which to set the flag

See also:: PxConstraintFlag

virtual void PxJoint::setConstraintFlags ( PxConstraintFlags flags ) [pure virtual]

set the constraint flags for this joint.

Parameters:

[in] flags the constraint flags

See also:: PxConstraintFlag

virtual void PxJoint::setLocalPose	(	PxJointActorIndex::Enum	actor,
		const PxTransform &	localPose
	)			`[pure virtual]`

Set the joint local pose for an actor.

This is the relative pose which locates the joint frame relative to the actor.

Parameters:

`[in]`	actor	0 for the first actor, 1 for the second actor.
`[in]`	localPose	the local pose for the actor this joint

See also:: getLocalPose()

virtual void PxJoint::setName ( const char * name ) [pure virtual]

Sets a name string for the object that can be retrieved with getName().

This is for debugging and is not used by the SDK. The string is not copied by the SDK, only the pointer is stored.

Parameters:

[in] name String to set the objects name to.

See also:: getName()
