Detailed Description

The base body class. A body represents a object in the physics engine. A body has location and may have material properties. A body is usually accompanied by a geometry which represents the shape of the body. The base body does not need to have a mass, it can be a static object.

Member Function Documentation

palGroup palBodyBase::GetGroup

(

)

const [virtual]

Returns:

the collision group this body belongs to.

virtual palMatrix4x4& palBodyBase::GetLocationMatrix

(

)

[pure virtual]

Retrieves the position and orientation of the body as a 4x4 transformation matrix.

Implemented in palOrientatedTerrainPlane.

void palBodyBase::GetPosition

(

palVector3 &

pos

)

[virtual]

Retrieves the position of the body as a 3 dimensional vector.

Parameters:

pos

A three dimensional vector representing the bodies position

void * palBodyBase::GetUserData

(

)

Returns:

The user data pointer.

void palBodyBase::SetGroup

(

palGroup

group

)

[virtual]

Sets the collision group this body belongs to.

void palBodyBase::SetMaterial

(

palMaterial *

material

)

[virtual]

Sets the material applied to this body. A material pointer can be retrieved using the palMaterials::GetMaterial() method.

void palBodyBase::SetPosition

(

palMatrix4x4 &

location

)

[protected, virtual]

Sets the position and orientation of the body via a 4x4 transformation matrix. Optional override implementation for engines that support setting the location matrix for static bodies

Parameters:

location

The transformation matrix

Reimplemented in palBody.

void palBodyBase::SetUserData

(

void *

dataPtr

)

Sets a pointer to a user defined object or value.

Parameters:

dataPtr

the pointer value to set.
