Class PointOnLine

Namespace
Jitter2.Dynamics.Constraints
Assembly
Jitter2.dll

Keeps an anchor on body 2 on a line attached to body 1, with optional limits along the line. Relative rotation remains free.

Properties

Bias

Gets or sets the bias factor controlling how aggressively positional error is corrected.

public float Bias { get; set; }

Property Value

float

Default is DefaultLinearBias. Higher values correct errors faster but may cause instability.

Distance

Gets the current distance of the anchor point from the line origin along the axis.

public float Distance { get; }

Property Value

float

Impulse

Gets the accumulated solver impulse from the last solved substep.

public JVector Impulse { get; }

Property Value

JVector

LimitBias

Gets or sets the bias factor for distance limit correction.

public float LimitBias { get; set; }

Property Value

float

Default is 0.2. Higher values correct limit violations faster.

LimitSoftness

Gets or sets the softness (compliance) applied when distance limits are active.

public float LimitSoftness { get; set; }

Property Value

float

Default is 0.0001. Higher values allow more limit violation but improve stability.

Softness

Gets or sets the softness (compliance) of the constraint.

public float Softness { get; set; }

Property Value

float

Default is 0.00001. Higher values allow more positional error but improve stability.

Methods

Create()

Called when the world creates this constraint. Override to set DispatchId to the ID returned by registering the constraint's solver methods.

protected override void Create()

DebugDraw(IDebugDrawer)

Draws a debug visualization of this constraint.

public override void DebugDraw(IDebugDrawer drawer)

Parameters

drawer IDebugDrawer

The debug drawer to receive visualization primitives.

Exceptions

NotImplementedException

Thrown if the derived class does not override this method.

DebugDraw(IDebugDrawer, in DebugDrawSettings)

Draws this constraint using the supplied visualization settings. Custom constraints that only override DebugDraw(IDebugDrawer) use their default visualization.

public override void DebugDraw(IDebugDrawer drawer, in DebugDrawSettings settings)

Parameters

drawer IDebugDrawer
settings DebugDrawSettings

Initialize(JVector, JVector, JVector)

Initializes the constraint from world-space parameters.

public void Initialize(JVector axis, JVector anchor1, JVector anchor2)

Parameters

axis JVector

The line axis in world space, fixed in the reference frame of body 1.

anchor1 JVector

Anchor point on body 1 defining the line origin in world space.

anchor2 JVector

Anchor point on body 2 constrained to the line in world space.

Remarks

Equal or reversed distance limits fix the point at their midpoint. Default values: Bias = DefaultLinearBias, Softness = DefaultLinearSoftness, LimitSoftness = DefaultLinearLimitSoftness, LimitBias = DefaultLinearLimitBias.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when axis is zero or contains a non-finite value, when anchor1 or anchor2 contains a non-finite value, or when either value in limit is NaN.

Initialize(JVector, JVector, JVector, LinearLimit)

Initializes the constraint from world-space parameters.

public void Initialize(JVector axis, JVector anchor1, JVector anchor2, LinearLimit limit)

Parameters

axis JVector

The line axis in world space, fixed in the reference frame of body 1.

anchor1 JVector

Anchor point on body 1 defining the line origin in world space.

anchor2 JVector

Anchor point on body 2 constrained to the line in world space.

limit LinearLimit

Distance limit along the axis.

Remarks

Equal or reversed distance limits fix the point at their midpoint. Default values: Bias = DefaultLinearBias, Softness = DefaultLinearSoftness, LimitSoftness = DefaultLinearLimitSoftness, LimitBias = DefaultLinearLimitBias.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when axis is zero or contains a non-finite value, when anchor1 or anchor2 contains a non-finite value, or when either value in limit is NaN.

IteratePointOnLine(ref ConstraintData, in TimeStep)

public static void IteratePointOnLine(ref ConstraintData constraint, in TimeStep timeStep)

Parameters

constraint ConstraintData
timeStep TimeStep

PrepareForIterationPointOnLine(ref ConstraintData, in TimeStep)

public static void PrepareForIterationPointOnLine(ref ConstraintData constraint, in TimeStep timeStep)

Parameters

constraint ConstraintData
timeStep TimeStep

ResetWarmStart()

Clears impulses saved from the previous solve, without changing constraint settings.

public override void ResetWarmStart()

Remarks

Use after restoring a saved state or making a sudden change to the bodies, when impulses from their previous state should no longer be reused.

ToString()

Returns a short description of the constraint's ID, connected bodies, and state.

public override string ToString()

Returns

string
