Retrieves the angular damping coefficient.

Returns:

The angular damping coefficient associated with this actor.

See also:

setAngularDamping() getLinearDamping()

returns string name of dynamic type.

Returns:

class name of most derived type of this object.

Reimplemented from PxSerializable.

Retrieves the force threshold for contact reports.

The contact report threshold is a force threshold. If the force between two actors exceeds this threshold for either of the two actors, a contact report will be generated according to the contact report threshold flags provided by the filter shader/callback. See PxPairFlag.

The threshold used for a collision between a dynamic actor and the static environment is the threshold of the dynamic actor, and all contacts with static actors are summed to find the total normal force.

Default: PX_MAX_F32

Returns:

Force threshold for contact reports.

Retrieves the linear damping coefficient.

Returns:

The linear damping coefficient associated with this actor.

Returns:

The values of the PxRigidDynamic flags.

Returns the mass-normalized kinetic energy below which an actor may go to sleep.

Actors whose kinetic energy divided by their mass is above this threshold will not be put to sleep.

Returns:

The energy threshold for sleeping.

Retrieves the solver iteration counts.

setSolverIterationCounts()

Reimplemented from PxRigidBody.

References PxRigidBody::isKindOf().

Returns true if this body is sleeping.

When an actor does not move for a period of time, it is no longer simulated in order to save time. This state is called sleeping. However, because the object automatically wakes up when it is either touched by an awake object, or one of its properties is changed by the user, the entire sleep mechanism should be transparent to the user.

If an actor is asleep after the call to PxScene::fetchResults() returns, it is guaranteed that the pose of the actor was not changed. You can use this information to avoid updating the transforms of associated of dependent objects.

Returns:

True if the actor is sleeping.

See also:

isSleeping() wakeUp() putToSleep() getSleepThreshold()

Forces the actor to sleep.

The actor will stay asleep during the next simulation step if not touched by another non-sleeping actor.

Note:

This will set the velocity of the actor to 0.

isSleeping() wakeUp()

Sets the angular damping coefficient.

Zero represents no damping.

The angular damping coefficient must be nonnegative.

Default: 0.05

Parameters:

[in]

angDamp

Angular damping coefficient. Range: [0,inf)

getAngularDamping() setLinearDamping()

Sets the force threshold for contact reports.

See getContactReportThreshold().

Parameters:

[in]

threshold

Force threshold for contact reports. Range: (0,inf)

Moves kinematically controlled dynamic actors through the game world.

You set a dynamic actor to be kinematic using the PxRigidDynamicFlag::eKINEMATIC flag, used either in the PxRigidDynamicDesc or with setRigidDynamicFlag().

The move command will result in a velocity that will move the body into the desired pose. After the move is carried out during a single time step, the velocity is returned to zero. Thus, you must continuously call this in every time step for kinematic actors so that they move along a path.

This function simply stores the move destination until the next simulation step is processed, so consecutive calls will simply overwrite the stored target variable.

The motion is always fully carried out.

Sleeping: This call wakes the actor if it is sleeping.

Parameters:

[in]

destination

The desired pose for the kinematic actor, in the global frame. Range: rigid body transform.

PxRigidDynamicFlag setRigidDynamicFlag()

Sets the linear damping coefficient.

Zero represents no damping. The damping coefficient must be nonnegative.

Default: 0.0

Parameters:

[in]

linDamp

Linear damping coefficient. Range: [0,inf)

See also:

getLinearDamping() setAngularDamping()

Lets you set the maximum angular velocity permitted for this actor.

For various internal computations, very quickly rotating actors introduce error into the simulation, which leads to undesired results.

With this function, you can set the maximum angular velocity permitted for this rigid body. Higher angular velocities are clamped to this value.

Note: The angular velocity is clamped to the set value before the solver, which means that the limit may still be momentarily exceeded.

Default: 7.0

Parameters:

[in]

maxAngVel

Max allowable angular velocity for actor. Range: (0,inf)

See also:

getMaxAngularVelocity()

Raises or clears a particular dynamic rigid body flag.

See the list of flags PxRigidDynamicFlag

Default: no flags are set

Sleeping: Does NOT wake the actor up automatically.

Parameters:

[in]	flag	The PxRigidDynamic flag to raise(set) or clear. See PxRigidDynamicFlag.
[in]	value	The new boolean value for the flag.

PxRigidDynamicFlag getRigidDynamicFlags()

Sets the mass-normalized kinetic energy threshold below which an actor may go to sleep.

Actors whose kinetic energy divided by their mass is above this threshold will not be put to sleep.

Default: 0.05 * PxTolerancesScale::speed * PxTolerancesScale::speed

Parameters:

[in]

threshold

Energy below which an actor may go to sleep. Range: (0,inf]

isSleeping() getSleepThreshold() wakeUp() putToSleep() PxTolerancesScale

Sets the solver iteration counts for the body.

The solver iteration count determines how accurately joints and contacts are resolved. If you are having trouble with jointed bodies oscillating and behaving erratically, then setting a higher position iteration count may improve their stability.

If intersecting bodies are being depenetrated too violently, increase the number of velocity iterations.

Default: 4 position iterations, 1 velocity iteration

Parameters:

[in]	minPositionIters	Number of position iterations the solver should perform for this body. Range: [1,255]
[in]	minVelocityIters	Number of velocity iterations the solver should perform for this body. Range: [1,255]

Wakes up the actor if it is sleeping.

The wakeCounterValue determines how long until the body is put to sleep, a value of zero means that the body is sleeping. wakeUp(0) is equivalent to PxRigidDynamic::putToSleep().

Parameters:

[in]

wakeCounterValue

New sleep counter value. Range: [0,inf]
