Member Function Documentation

virtual void PxConstraint::getActors	(	PxRigidActor *&	actor0,
		PxRigidActor *&	actor1
	)		const

pure virtual

Retrieves the actors for this constraint.

Parameters

[out]	actor0	a reference to the pointer for the first actor
[out]	actor1	a reference to the pointer for the second actor

See Also: PxActor

virtual void PxConstraint::getBreakForce	(	PxReal &	linear,
		PxReal &	angular
	)		const

pure virtual

Retrieve the constraint break force and torque thresholds.

Parameters

[out]	linear	the linear break threshold
[out]	angular	the angular break threshold

virtual const char* PxConstraint::getConcreteTypeName ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns string name of dynamic type.

Returns: Class name of most derived type of this object.

Reimplemented from PxBase.

virtual void* PxConstraint::getExternalReference ( PxU32 & typeID )

pure virtual

Fetch external owner of the constraint.

Provides a reference to the external owner of a constraint and a unique owner type ID.

Parameters

[out] typeID Unique type identifier of the external object.

Returns: Reference to the external object which owns the constraint.

See Also: PxConstraintConnector.getExternalReference()

virtual PxConstraintFlags PxConstraint::getFlags ( ) const

pure virtual

Retrieve the flags for this constraint.

Returns: the constraint flags

See Also: PxConstraintFlags

virtual void PxConstraint::getForce	(	PxVec3 &	linear,
		PxVec3 &	angular
	)		const

pure virtual

Retrieve the constraint force most recently applied to maintain this constraint.

Parameters

[out]	linear	the constraint force
[out]	angular	the constraint torque

virtual PxScene* PxConstraint::getScene ( ) const

pure virtual

Retrieves the scene which this constraint belongs to.

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

See Also: PxScene

virtual bool PxConstraint::isKindOf ( const char * superClass ) const

inlineprotectedvirtual

Returns whether a given type name matches with the type of this instance.

Reimplemented from PxBase.

References PxBase::isKindOf().

virtual bool PxConstraint::isValid ( ) const

pure virtual

whether the constraint is valid.

A constraint is valid if it has at least one dynamic rigid body or articulation link. A constraint that is not valid may not be inserted into a scene, and therefore a static actor to which an invalid constraint is attached may not be inserted into a scene.

Invalid constraints arise only when an actor to which the constraint is attached has been deleted.

virtual void PxConstraint::markDirty ( )

pure virtual

Notify the scene that the constraint shader data has been updated by the application.

virtual void PxConstraint::release ( )

pure virtual

Releases a PxConstraint instance.

Note: This call does not wake up the connected rigid bodies.

See Also: PxPhysics.createConstraint, PxBase.release()

Implements PxBase.

virtual void PxConstraint::setActors	(	PxRigidActor *	actor0,
		PxRigidActor *	actor1
	)

pure virtual

Sets the actors for this constraint.

Parameters

[in]	actor0	a reference to the pointer for the first actor
[in]	actor1	a reference to the pointer for the second actor

See Also: PxActor

virtual void PxConstraint::setBreakForce	(	PxReal	linear,
		PxReal	angular
	)

pure virtual

Set the break force and torque thresholds for this constraint.

If either the force or torque measured at the constraint exceed these thresholds the constraint will break.

Parameters

[in]	linear	the linear break threshold
[in]	angular	the angular break threshold

virtual void PxConstraint::setConstraintFunctions	(	PxConstraintConnector &	connector,
		const PxConstraintShaderTable &	shaders
	)

pure virtual

Set the constraint functions for this constraint.

Parameters

[in]	connector	the constraint connector object by which the SDK communicates with the constraint.
[in]	shaders	the shader table for the constraint

See Also: PxConstraintConnector PxConstraintSolverPrep PxConstraintProject PxConstraintVisualize

virtual void PxConstraint::setFlag	(	PxConstraintFlag::Enum	flag,
		bool	value
	)

pure virtual

Set a flag for this constraint.

Parameters

[in]	flag	the constraint flag
[in]	value	the new value of the flag

See Also: PxConstraintFlags

virtual void PxConstraint::setFlags ( PxConstraintFlags flags )

pure virtual

Set the flags for this constraint.

Parameters

[in] flags the new constraint flags

default: PxConstraintFlag::eDRIVE_LIMITS_ARE_FORCES
