Class ConeJoint

All Implemented Interfaces:
com.jme3.export.Savable, com.jme3.util.clone.JmeCloneable, Cloneable, Comparable<NativePhysicsObject>

public class ConeJoint extends Constraint
A 3 degree-of-freedom joint based on Bullet's btConeTwistConstraint.

From the Bullet manual:
To create ragdolls, the cone twist constraint is very useful for limbs like the upper arm. It is a special point to point constraint that adds cone and twist axis limits. The x-axis serves as twist axis.

      public static final Logger logger2
      message logger for this class
  • Constructor Details

    • ConeJoint

      protected ConeJoint()
      No-argument constructor needed by SavableClassUtil.
    • ConeJoint

      public ConeJoint(PhysicsRigidBody rigidBodyA, com.jme3.math.Vector3f pivotInA, com.jme3.math.Matrix3f rotInA)
      Instantiate a single-ended ConeJoint with its pivot at the physics-space origin.

      To be effective, the joint must be added to the PhysicsSpace of the body and the body must be dynamic.

      Parameters:
      rigidBodyA - the body to constrain (not null, alias created)
      pivotInA - the pivot location in A's scaled local coordinates (not null, unaffected)
      rotInA - the joint orientation in A's local coordinates (rotation matrix, unaffected)
    • ConeJoint

      public ConeJoint(PhysicsRigidBody rigidBodyA, PhysicsRigidBody rigidBodyB, com.jme3.math.Vector3f pivotInA, com.jme3.math.Vector3f pivotInB)
      Instantiate a double-ended ConeJoint.

      To be effective, the joint must be added to the PhysicsSpace of both bodies. Also, the bodies must be distinct and at least one of them must be dynamic.

      Parameters:
      rigidBodyA - the body for the A end (not null, alias created)
      rigidBodyB - the body for the B end (not null, alias created)
      pivotInA - the pivot location in A's scaled local coordinates (not null, unaffected)
      pivotInB - the pivot location in B's scaled local coordinates (not null, unaffected)

      Instantiate a double-ended ConeJoint.

      To be effective, the joint must be added to the PhysicsSpace of both bodies. Also, the bodies must be distinct and at least one of them must be dynamic.

      Parameters:
      rigidBodyA - the body for the A end (not null, alias created)
      rigidBodyB - the body for the B end (not null, alias created)
      pivotInA - the pivot location in A's scaled local coordinates (not null, unaffected)
      pivotInB - the pivot location in B's scaled local coordinates (not null, unaffected)
      rotInA - the joint orientation in A's local coordinates (rotation matrix, unaffected)
      rotInB - the joint orientation in B's local coordinates (rotation matrix, unaffected)
