addImpact
virtual void PhysicsObject::add_impact(LPoint3f const &offset_from_center_of_mass, LVector3f const &impulse);

Description : Adds an impulse and/or torque (i.e. an instantanious change in velocity) based on how well the offset and impulse align with the center of mass (aka position). If you wanted to immitate this function you could work out the impulse and torque and call add_impulse and add_torque respectively. offset and force are in global (or parent) coordinates.

addImpulse
void PhysicsObject::add_impulse(LVector3f const &impulse);

Global instantanious forces
Description : Adds an impulse force (i.e. an instantanious change in velocity). This is a quicker way to get the velocity, add a vector to it and set that value to be the new velocity.

addLocalImpact
virtual void PhysicsObject::add_local_impact(LPoint3f const &offset_from_center_of_mass, LVector3f const &impulse);

Description : Adds an impulse and/or torque (i.e. an instantanious change in velocity) based on how well the offset and impulse align with the center of mass (aka position). If you wanted to immitate this function you could work out the impulse and torque and call add_impulse and add_torque respectively. offset and force are in local coordinates.

addLocalImpulse
void PhysicsObject::add_local_impulse(LVector3f const &impulse);

Local instantanious forces
Description : Adds an impulse force (i.e. an instantanious change in velocity). This is a quicker way to get the velocity, add a vector to it and set that value to be the new velocity.

addLocalTorque
void PhysicsObject::add_local_torque(LRotationf const &torque);

Local instantanious forces
Description : Adds an torque force (i.e. an instantanious change in velocity). This is a quicker way to get the angular velocity, add a vector to it and set that value to be the new angular velocity.

addTorque
void PhysicsObject::add_torque(LRotationf const &torque);

Global instantanious forces
Description : Adds an torque force (i.e. an instantanious change in velocity). This is a quicker way to get the angular velocity, add a vector to it and set that value to be the new angular velocity.

Description : set the orientation while clearing the rotation velocity.

resetPosition
void PhysicsObject::reset_position(LPoint3f const &pos);

Description : use this to place an object in a completely new position, that has nothing to do with its last position.

Description : Set the mass in slugs (or kilograms).

setName
void PhysicsObject::set_name(string const &name);

Undocumented function.

setOrientation
void PhysicsObject::set_orientation(LOrientationf const &orientation);

Description :

setOriented
void PhysicsObject::set_oriented(bool flag);

Description : Set flag to determine whether this object should do any rotation or orientation calculations. Optimization.

setPosition
void PhysicsObject::set_position(LPoint3f const &pos);

INLINE void set_center_of_mass(const LPoint3f &pos); use set_position.
Description : Vector position assignment. This is also used as the center of mass.
Description : Piecewise position assignment

setRotation
void PhysicsObject::set_rotation(LRotationf const &rotation);

Description : set rotation as a quaternion delta per second.

setTerminalVelocity
void PhysicsObject::set_terminal_velocity(float tv);

Description : tv assignment

setVelocity

write
virtual void PhysicsObject::write(ostream &out, unsigned int indent = (0)) const;

getClassType
static TypeHandle TypedReferenceCount::get_class_type(void);

Undocumented function.

getClassType
static TypeHandle TypedObject::get_class_type(void);

Undocumented function.

getType
virtual TypeHandle TypedObject::get_type(void) const = 0;

Derived classes should override this function to return get_class_type().

getTypeIndex
int TypedObject::get_type_index(void) const;

Description: Returns the internal index number associated with this object's TypeHandle, a unique number for each different type. This is equivalent to get_type().get_index().

isExactType
bool TypedObject::is_exact_type(TypeHandle handle) const;

Description: Returns true if the current object is the indicated type exactly.

isOfType
bool TypedObject::is_of_type(TypeHandle handle) const;

Description: Returns true if the current object is or derives from the indicated type.

getClassType
static TypeHandle ReferenceCount::get_class_type(void);

Undocumented function.

getRefCount
int ReferenceCount::get_ref_count(void) const;

Description: Returns the current reference count.

ref
void ReferenceCount::ref(void) const;

Description: Explicitly increments the reference count. User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically.
This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it.

testRefCountIntegrity
bool ReferenceCount::test_ref_count_integrity(void) const;

Description: Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't completely bogus. Returns true if ok, false otherwise.

testRefCountNonzero
bool ReferenceCount::test_ref_count_nonzero(void) const;

Description: Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't zero, or completely bogus. Returns true if ok, false otherwise.

unref
bool ReferenceCount::unref(void) const;

Description: Explicitly decrements the reference count. Note that the object will not be implicitly deleted by unref() simply because the reference count drops to zero. (Having a member function delete itself is problematic; plus, we don't have a virtual destructor anyway.) However, see the helper function unref_delete().
User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically.
This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it.
The return value is true if the new reference count is nonzero, false if it is zero.
