b2BodyDef Struct Reference

#include <b2Body.h>

Public Member Functions
	b2BodyDef ()
	This constructor sets the body definition default values.

Public Attributes
b2BodyType	type
b2Vec2	position
float32	angle
	The world angle of the body in radians.
b2Vec2	linearVelocity
	The linear velocity of the body's origin in world co-ordinates.
float32	angularVelocity
	The angular velocity of the body.
float32	linearDamping
float32	angularDamping
bool	allowSleep
bool	awake
	Is this body initially awake or sleeping?
bool	fixedRotation
	Should this body be prevented from rotating? Useful for characters.
bool	bullet
bool	active
	Does this body start out active?
void *	userData
	Use this to store application specific body data.
float32	gravityScale
	Scale the gravity applied to this body.

Detailed Description

A body definition holds all the data needed to construct a rigid body. You can safely re-use body definitions. Shapes are added to a body after construction.

Member Data Documentation

bool b2BodyDef::allowSleep

Set this flag to false if this body should never fall asleep. Note that this increases CPU usage.

float32 b2BodyDef::angularDamping

Angular damping is use to reduce the angular velocity. The damping parameter can be larger than 1.0f but the damping effect becomes sensitive to the time step when the damping parameter is large.

bool b2BodyDef::bullet

Is this a fast moving body that should be prevented from tunneling through other moving bodies? Note that all bodies are prevented from tunneling through kinematic and static bodies. This setting is only considered on dynamic bodies.

Warning

You should use this flag sparingly since it increases processing time.

float32 b2BodyDef::linearDamping

Linear damping is use to reduce the linear velocity. The damping parameter can be larger than 1.0f but the damping effect becomes sensitive to the time step when the damping parameter is large.

b2Vec2 b2BodyDef::position

The world position of the body. Avoid creating bodies at the origin since this can lead to many overlapping shapes.

b2BodyType b2BodyDef::type

The body type: static, kinematic, or dynamic. Note: if a dynamic body would have zero mass, the mass is set to one.
