NewtonBodyApplyImpulseArray

void NewtonBodyApplyImpulseArray (const NewtonBody* const body, int impuleCount, int strideInByte, const dFloat* const impulseArray, const dFloat* const pointArray, dFloat timestep)

Usage

Add an train of impulses to a specific point on a body.

Parameters

  • const NewtonBody* const body
  • int impuleCount
  • int strideInByte
  • const dFloat* const impulseArray
  • const dFloat* const pointArray
  • dFloat timestep

Return

  • (Procedure)

Description

  • This function will activate the body.
  • *pointPosit* and *pointDeltaVeloc* must be specified in global space.
  • *the calculate impulse will be applied to the body on next frame update
  • this function apply at general impulse to a body a oppose to a desired change on velocity
  • this mean that the body mass, and Inertia will determine the gain on velocity.
