Character

Base Class: Entity

Overview

This object is a special kind of entity that represents a character of the physical system. When instanced Character requests the physics system to create a physical character. The shape is defined automatically, it is character shape.

• dims: (vector3) used to define the extension of the collision shape.
• offset: (vector3) used to define the position of the collision shape respect the origin of the object.
• coltype: (enum) unused (character has always character shape).

Character also has other params that are common to some other entities:

• mass: (float) mass of the character.
• elasticity: (float) restitution force, acting on the opposite direction of the character movement when it collides something.
• staticFriction: (float) static friction force, acting when object doesn't move.
• dynamicFriction: (float) dynamic friction force, acting when object moves.
