NAME

Box2D::b2LineJoint - Provides two degrees of freedom: translation along an axis and rotation in the plane.

SYNOPSIS

  my $joint - $world->CreateJoint( $joint_def );
  $joint->EnableLimit( 1 );
  $joint->EnableMotor( 1 );
  $joint->SetMotorSpeed( $speed );

DESCRIPTION

A line joint. This joint provides two degrees of freedom: translation along an axis fixed in body1 and rotation in the plane. You can use a joint limit to restrict the range of motion and a joint motor to drive the motion or to model joint friction.

METHODS

EnableLimit( $flag )

Enable/disable the joint limit.

Parameters:

  • bool $flag

EnableMotor( $flag )

Enable/disable the joint motor.

Parameters:

  • bool $flag

GetAnchorA()

Get the anchor point on bodyA in world coordinates. Implements Box2D::b2Joint.

Returns a Box2D::b2Vec2

GetAnchorB()

Get the anchor point on bodyB in world coordinates. Implements Box2D::b2Joint.

Returns a Box2D::b2Vec2

GetJointSpeed()

Get the current joint translation speed, usually in meters per second.

Returns a float32

GetJointTranslation()

Get the current joint translation, usually in meters.

Returns a float32

GetLowerLimit()

Get the lower joint limit, usually in meters.

Returns a float32

GetMaxMotorForce()

Returns a float32

GetMotorForce()

Get the current motor force, usually in N.

Returns a float32

GetMotorSpeed()

Get the motor speed, usually in meters per second.

Returns a float32

GetReactionForce( $inv_dt )

Get the reaction force on body2 at the joint anchor in Newtons. Implements Box2D::b2Joint.

Parameters:

  • float32 $inv_dt

Returns a Box2D::b2Vec2

GetReactionTorque( $inv_dt )

Get the reaction torque on body2 in N*m. Implements Box2D::b2Joint.

Parameters:

  • float32 $inv_dt

Returns a float32

GetUpperLimit()

Get the upper joint limit, usually in meters.

Returns a float32

IsLimitEnabled()

Is the joint limit enabled?

Returns a bool

IsMotorEnabled()

Is the joint motor enabled?

Returns a bool

SetLimits( $lower, $upper )

Set the joint limits, usually in meters.

Parameters:

  • float32 $lower

  • float32 $upper

SetMaxMotorForce( $force )

Set/Get the maximum motor force, usually in N.

Parameters:

  • float32 $force

SetMotorSpeed( $speed )

Set the motor speed, usually in meters per second.

Parameters:

  • float32 $speed
