query
Type: Function.
Description:
Queries the physics world for all bodies that intersect with the specified rectangle.
Signature:
query: function(self: PhysicsWorld, rect: Rect, handler: function(Body): boolean): boolean
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| rect | Rect | The rectangle to query for bodies. |
| handler | function | A function that is called for each body found in the query. |
Returns:
| Return Type | Description |
|---|---|
| boolean | Whether the query was interrupted, true means interrupted, false otherwise. |
Definition for handler:
- Parameters of handler:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| body | Body | The body found in the query. |
- Returns of handler:
| Return Type | Description |
|---|---|
| boolean | Whether to continue querying for more bodies, false to continue, true to stop. |
raycast
Type: Function.
Description:
Casts a ray through the physics world and finds the first body that intersects with the ray.
Signature:
raycast: function(self: PhysicsWorld, start: Vec2, stop: Vec2, closest: boolean, handler: function(Body, point: Vec2, normal: Vec2): boolean): boolean
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| start | Vec2 | The starting point of the ray. |
| stop | Vec2 | The ending point of the ray. |
| closest | boolean | Whether to stop ray casting upon the closest body that intersects with the ray. Set closest to true to get a faster ray casting search. |
| handler | function | A function that is called for each body found in the raycast. |
Returns:
| Return Type | Description |
|---|---|
| boolean | Whether the raycast was interrupted, true means interrupted, false otherwise. |
Definition for handler:
- Parameters of handler:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| body | Body | The body found in the raycast. |
| point | Vec2 | The point where the ray intersects with the body. |
| normal | Vec2 | The normal vector at the point of intersection. |
- Returns of handler:
| Return Type | Description |
|---|---|
| boolean | Whether to continue casting the ray for more bodies, returns true to stop, false otherwise. |
setIterations
