Detailed Description

force from steering - tire force simulates tangential force as car turns.

what this means is that while in contact with other objects the body will experience force tangential to the turning radius (i.e. from the sides to simulate tires). if the tires become out of contact (no collisions), then this perpendicular force is not applied allowing the body to fly freely (like a car flying over a cliff - no steering)

Features:

• tangential force (cars don't slide when turning)

Member Function Documentation

void gator::TireForceOperator::setAirSteering (  bool    state )  [inline]

set to true to use car-like steering while in the air. (while not colliding). set to false to use car-like steering only when in contact with the ground. Definition at line 47 of file TireForceOperator.h.

virtual void gator::TireForceOperator::exec (  ani::DynamicSystem< ani::Body > &    ps, float    timeDelta )  [inline, virtual]

apply the force to the system. Implements ani::Operator< ani::Body >. Definition at line 53 of file TireForceOperator.h. References ani::Body::applyForce(), gator::computeCollisionForces(), ani::Body::linearVelocity(), ani::Body::mass(), and ani::Body::rotation().

virtual void gator::TireForceOperator::setCollisionDetector (  CollisionDetectorPtr    detect )  [inline, virtual]

tell the travel method how to collide with your scene. define your own collision detector, or use one predefined from gator. Definition at line 84 of file TireForceOperator.h. References gator::CollisionDetectorPtr.
