| ContactManager | ( | ) |
Constructor.
|
virtual |
Destructor.
| void Clear | ( | ) |
Clear all stored contacts.
| std::string CreateFilter | ( | const std::string & | _topic, |
| const std::vector< std::string > & | _collisions | ||
| ) |
Create a filter for contacts.
A new publisher will be created that publishes contacts associated to the input collisions. param[in] _name Filter name. param[in] _collisions A list of collision names used for filtering.
| std::string CreateFilter | ( | const std::string & | _topic, |
| const std::string & | _collision | ||
| ) |
Create a filter for contacts.
A new publisher will be created that publishes contacts associated to the input collision. param[in] _name Filter name. param[in] _collision A collision name used for filtering.
| std::string CreateFilter | ( | const std::string & | _name, |
| const std::map< std::string, physics::CollisionPtr > & | _collisions | ||
| ) |
Create a filter for contacts.
A new publisher will be created that publishes contacts associated to the input collision. param[in] _name Filter name. param[in] _collisions A map of collision name to collision object.
| Contact* GetContact | ( | unsigned int | _index | ) | const |
Get a single contact by index.
The index must be between 0 and ContactManager::GetContactCount.
| [in] | _index | Index of the Contact to return. |
| unsigned int GetContactCount | ( | ) | const |
Return the number of valid contacts.
| const std::vector<Contact *>& GetContacts | ( | ) | const |
Get all the contacts.
The return vector may have invalid contacts. Only use contents of the vector between 0 and ContactManager::GetContactCount
| unsigned int GetFilterCount | ( | ) |
Get the number of filters in the contact manager.
return Number of filters
| bool HasFilter | ( | const std::string & | _name | ) |
Check if a filter with the specified name exists.
param[in] _name Name of filter. return True if the filter exists.
| void Init | ( | WorldPtr | _world | ) |
Initialize the ContactManager.
This is required in order to publish contact messages via the ContactManager::PublishContacts method.
| [in] | _world | Pointer to the world that is initializing the contact manager. |
| bool NeverDropContacts | ( | ) | const |
returns the value last set with SetNeverDropContacts().
| Contact* NewContact | ( | Collision * | _collision1, |
| Collision * | _collision2, | ||
| const common::Time & | _time | ||
| ) |
Add a new contact.
Normally this is only used by a Physics/Collision engine when a new contact is generated. All other users should just make use of the accessor functions.
If no one is listening, then the return value will be NULL (unless SetNeverDropContacts(true) was called). This is then a signal to the Physics engine that it can skip the extra processing necessary to get back contact information.
| [in] | _collision1 | the first collision object |
| [in] | _collision2 | the second collision object |
| [in] | _time | the time of the contact |
| void PublishContacts | ( | ) |
Publish all contacts in a msgs::Contacts message.
| void RemoveFilter | ( | const std::string & | _name | ) |
Remove a contacts filter and the associated custom publisher param[in] _name Filter name.
| void ResetCount | ( | ) |
Set the contact count to zero.
| void SetNeverDropContacts | ( | const bool | _neverDrop | ) |
If set to true, NewContact() will always add contacts even if there are no subscribers.
| [in] | _neverDrop | if true, never drop contact computation |
Returns true if any subscribers are connected which would be interested in contact details of either collision _collision1 or collision2, given that they have been loaded into the world already.
This is the same test which NewContact() uses to determine whether there are any subscribers for the contacts, but the test here is optimized because it returns as soon as one subscriber is found which listens to either of the collisions. Note that this function needs to go through the list of custom publishers and check whether _collsion1 or _collision2 are part of the custom publishers and whether they have been loaded into the world, which comes at a cost. Unless there are any benefits in calling this function ahead of NewContact, it may be better to just use NewContact() directly. Also note that in order to exclude that NewContact() returns NULL, it is advisable to check NeverDropContacts() first (if it returns true, NewContacts() never returns NULL).
| [in] | _collision1 | the first collision object |
| [in] | _collision2 | the second collision object |
