Class Point2PointJoint

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

public class Point2PointJoint extends Constraint
A 3 degree-of-freedom joint based on Bullet's btPoint2PointConstraint.

From the Bullet manual:
Point to point constraint limits the translation so that the local pivot points of 2 rigid bodies match in worldspace. A chain of rigid bodies can be connected using this constraint.

    • logger2

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

    • Point2PointJoint

      protected Point2PointJoint()
      No-argument constructor needed by SavableClassUtil.
    • Point2PointJoint

      public Point2PointJoint(PhysicsRigidBody rigidBodyA, com.jme3.math.Vector3f pivotInA)
      Instantiate a single-ended Point2PointJoint where the constraint is already satisfied.

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

      Parameters:
      rigidBodyA - the body to constrain (not null, alias created)
      pivotInA - the pivot location in the body's scaled local coordinates (not null, unaffected)
    • Point2PointJoint

      public Point2PointJoint(PhysicsRigidBody rigidBodyA, com.jme3.math.Vector3f pivotInA, com.jme3.math.Vector3f pivotInWorld)
      Instantiate a single-ended Point2PointJoint where the constraint might not be satisfied yet.

      To be effective, the joint must be added to the body's PhysicsSpace 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)
      pivotInWorld - the pivot location in physics-space coordinates (not null, unaffected)
    • Point2PointJoint

      public Point2PointJoint(PhysicsRigidBody rigidBodyA, PhysicsRigidBody rigidBodyB, com.jme3.math.Vector3f pivotInA, com.jme3.math.Vector3f pivotInB)
      Instantiate a double-ended Point2PointJoint.

      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)
