Member Function Documentation

static PxVehicleDriveTank* PxVehicleDriveTank::allocate

(

const PxU32

nbWheels

)

[static]

Allocate a PxVehicleTankDrive instance for a tank with nbWheels.

Parameters:

[in]

nbWheels

is the number of wheels on the vehicle.

Note:

It is assumed that all wheels are driven wheels.

Returns:

The instantiated vehicle.

static PxVehicleDriveTank* PxVehicleDriveTank::create	(	PxPhysics *	physics,
		PxRigidDynamic *	vehActor,
		const PxVehicleWheelsSimData &	wheelsData,
		const PxVehicleDriveSimData &	driveData,
		const PxU32	nbDrivenWheels
	)			[static]

Allocate and set up a tank using simulation data for the wheels and drive model.

Parameters:

[in]	physics	is a PxPhysics instance that is needed to create special vehicle constraints that are maintained by the tank.
[in]	vehActor	is a PxRigidDynamic instance that is used to represent the tank in the PhysX SDK.
[in]	wheelsData	describes the configuration of all suspension/tires/wheels of the tank. The tank instance takes a copy of this data.
[in]	driveData	describes the properties of the tank's drive model (gears/engine/clutch/differential/autobox). The tank instance takes a copy of this data.
[in]	nbDrivenWheels	is the number of wheels on the tank.

Note:

It is assumed that the first shapes of the actor are the wheel shapes, followed by the chassis shapes. To break this assumption use PxVehicleWheelsSimData::setWheelShapeMapping.

Returns:

The instantiated vehicle.

const [inline, virtual]

Returns string name of dynamic type.

Returns:

Class name of most derived type of this object.

Reimplemented from PxVehicleDrive.

PxVehicleDriveTankControlModel::Enum PxVehicleDriveTank::getDriveModel

(

)

const [inline]

Return the control model used by the tank.

virtual bool PxVehicleDriveTank::isKindOf

(

const char *

superClass

)

const [inline, virtual]

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

Reimplemented from PxVehicleDrive.

References PxBase::isKindOf().

bool PxVehicleDriveTank::isValid

(

)

const [private]

Test if the instanced dynamics and configuration data has legal values.

Reimplemented from PxVehicleDrive.

void PxVehicleDriveTank::setDriveModel

(

const PxVehicleDriveTankControlModel::Enum

driveModel

)

[inline]

Set the control model used by the tank.

Note:

eDRIVE_MODEL_STANDARD: turning achieved by braking on one side, accelerating on the other side.

eDRIVE_MODEL_SPECIAL: turning achieved by accelerating forwards on one side, accelerating backwards on the other side.

The default value is eDRIVE_MODEL_STANDARD

void PxVehicleDriveTank::setToRestState

(

)

Set a vehicle to its rest state. Aside from the rigid body transform, this will set the vehicle and rigid body to the state they were in immediately after setup or create.

Note:

Calling setToRestState invalidates the cached raycast hit planes under each wheel meaning that suspension line raycasts need to be performed at least once with PxVehicleSuspensionRaycasts before calling PxVehicleUpdates.

See also:

setup, create, PxVehicleSuspensionRaycasts, PxVehicleUpdates

Reimplemented from PxVehicleDrive.

void PxVehicleDriveTank::setup	(	PxPhysics *	physics,
		PxRigidDynamic *	vehActor,
		const PxVehicleWheelsSimData &	wheelsData,
		const PxVehicleDriveSimData &	driveData,
		const PxU32	nbDrivenWheels
	)

Set up a tank using simulation data for the wheels and drive model.

Parameters:

[in]	physics	is a PxPhysics instance that is needed to create special vehicle constraints that are maintained by the vehicle.
[in]	vehActor	is a PxRigidDynamic instance that is used to represent the tank in the PhysX SDK.
[in]	wheelsData	describes the configuration of all suspension/tires/wheels of the tank. The tank instance takes a copy of this data.
[in]	driveData	describes the properties of the tank's drive model (gears/engine/clutch/autobox). The tank instance takes a copy of this data.
[in]	nbDrivenWheels	is the number of wheels on the tank.

Note:

It is assumed that the first shapes of the actor are the wheel shapes, followed by the chassis shapes. To break this assumption use PxVehicleWheelsSimData::setWheelShapeMapping.

See also:

allocate, free, setToRestState, PxVehicleWheelsSimData::setWheelShapeMapping

Note:

nbDrivenWheels must be an even number

The wheels must be arranged according to PxVehicleDriveTankWheelOrder; that is, the even wheels are on the left side of the tank and the odd wheels are on the right side of the tank.
