Member Enumeration Documentation

enum OgreRefApp::Joint::JointType [inherited]
 

The type of joint.

Enumeration values:
JT_BALL  Ball & socket joint, has 3 degrees of freedom.
JT_SLIDER  Sliding joint, 1 degree of freedom (in-out).
JT_HINGE  Hinge joint, 1 degree of freedom.
JT_UNIVERSAL  Universal joint, like a double-hinge, 2 degrees of freedom.
JT_HINGE2  2 hinges in series, like the axel of a car

Member Function Documentation

virtual const Vector3& OgreRefApp::Joint::getAnchorPosition (  void   )  [virtual, inherited]
 

Gets the anchor position of this joint.

virtual const std::pair<ApplicationObject*, ApplicationObject*>& OgreRefApp::Joint::getAttachments (  void   )  [virtual, inherited]
 

Gets the attached objects, a NULL means no object ie a static attachment.

virtual const std::pair<Vector3, Vector3>& OgreRefApp::Joint::getAxes (  void   )  [virtual, inherited]
 

Gets the axes of this joint.

JointType OgreRefApp::Joint::getType (  void   )  [inherited]
 

Returns the type of this joint.

void OgreRefApp::UniversalJoint::setAnchorPosition (  const Vector3 &  point  )  [virtual]
 

Set the anchor point of this joint.

Implements OgreRefApp::Joint.

void OgreRefApp::Joint::setAttachments (  ApplicationObject *  obj1,
ApplicationObject *  obj2
)  [protected, inherited]
 

Sets the objects attached to this joint.

Remarks:
It appears that this has to be set before other joint params like anchor etc, otherwise the joint does not behave. Therefore it is internal and is called during construction.

void OgreRefApp::UniversalJoint::setAxes (  const Vector3 &  primaryAxis,
const Vector3 &  secondaryAxis = Vector3::ZERO
)  [virtual]
 

Sets the axes for this joint.

Remarks:
The meaning of axes for a joint depends on it's type:
  • For JT_BALL, it has no meaning and you don't need to call it.
  • For JT_SLIDER, only one is applicable and it's the axis along which the slide occurs.
  • For JT_HINGE, only one is applicable and it's the hinge axis.
  • For JT_UNIVERSAL, and JT_HINGE2 it's the 2 hinge axes.

Implements OgreRefApp::Joint.
