  • Constructor Details

    • VehicleConstraint

      public VehicleConstraint(Body body, ConstVehicleConstraintSettings settings)
      Instantiate a constraint for the specified body and settings.

      body - the body to which the constraint will apply (not null)
      settings - the desired settings (not null, unaffected)

  • Method Details

    • getController

      public VehicleController getController()
