addWheel(wheel, attachPos, downDir, axleDir, suspensionRestLength, wheelRadius, hasSteering)

Add a wheel to the vehicle

Parameters

  • wheel (KX_GameObject or a KX_GameObject name) – The object to use as a wheel.

  • attachPos (vector of 3 floats) – The position to attach the wheel, relative to the chassis object center.

  • downDir (vector of 3 floats) – The direction vector pointing down to where the vehicle should collide with the floor.

  • axleDir (vector of 3 floats) – The axis the wheel rotates around, relative to the chassis.

  • suspensionRestLength (float) – The length of the suspension when no forces are being applied.

  • wheelRadius (float) – The radius of the wheel (half the diameter).

  • hasSteering (boolean) – True if the wheel should turn with steering, typically used in front wheels.

applyBraking(force, wheelIndex)

Apply a braking force to the specified wheel

Parameters

  • force (float) – the brake force

  • wheelIndex (integer) – index of the wheel where the force needs to be applied

applyEngineForce(force, wheelIndex)

Apply an engine force to the specified wheel

Parameters

  • force (float) – the engine force

  • wheelIndex (integer) – index of the wheel where the force needs to be applied

getConstraintId()

Get the constraint ID

Returns

the constraint id

Return type

integer

getConstraintType()

Returns the constraint type.

Returns

constraint type

Return type

integer

getNumWheels()

Returns the number of wheels.

Returns

the number of wheels for this vehicle

Return type

integer

getWheelOrientationQuaternion(wheelIndex)

Returns the wheel orientation as a quaternion.

Parameters

wheelIndex (integer) – the wheel index

Returns

TODO Description

Return type

TODO - type should be quat as per method name but from the code it looks like a matrix

getWheelPosition(wheelIndex)

Returns the position of the specified wheel

Parameters

wheelIndex (integer) – the wheel index

Returns

position vector

Return type

list[x, y, z]

getWheelRotation(wheelIndex)

Returns the rotation of the specified wheel

Parameters

setSuspensionCompression(compression, wheelIndex)

Set the specified wheel’s compression

Parameters

  • compression (float) – the wheel compression

  • wheelIndex (integer) – the wheel index

setSuspensionDamping(damping, wheelIndex)

Set the specified wheel’s damping

Parameters

  • damping (float) – the wheel damping

  • wheelIndex (integer) – the wheel index

setSuspensionStiffness(stiffness, wheelIndex)

Set the specified wheel’s stiffness

Parameters

  • stiffness (float) – the wheel stiffness

  • wheelIndex (integer) – the wheel index

setTyreFriction(friction, wheelIndex)

Set the specified wheel’s tyre friction

Parameters

  • friction (float) – the tyre friction

  • wheelIndex (integer) – the wheel index

rayMask

Set ray cast mask.

Type
