CharacterJoint

from panda3d.core import CharacterJoint

class CharacterJoint

Bases:

Bases: MovingPartMatrix

This represents one joint of the character’s animation, containing an animating transform matrix.

Inheritance diagram

__init__(character: Character, root: PartBundle, parent: PartGroup, name: str, default_value: LMatrix4)

addLocalTransform(node: PandaNode) → bool

Adds the indicated node to the list of nodes that will be updated each frame with the joint’s local transform from its parent. Returns true if the node is successfully added, false if it had already been added.

The Character pointer should be the Character object that owns this joint; this will be used to create a CharacterJointEffect for this node. If it is NULL, no such effect will be created.

A CharacterJointEffect for this joint’s Character will automatically be added to the specified node.

addNetTransform(node: PandaNode) → bool

Adds the indicated node to the list of nodes that will be updated each frame with the joint’s net transform from the root. Returns true if the node is successfully added, false if it had already been added.

A CharacterJointEffect for this joint’s Character will automatically be added to the specified node.

clearLocalTransforms(): Removes all nodes from the list of nodes that will be updated each frame with the joint’s local transform from its parent.

clearNetTransforms(): Removes all nodes from the list of nodes that will be updated each frame with the joint’s net transform from the root.

getCharacter() → Character: Returns the Character that owns this joint.

static getClassType() → TypeHandle

getLocalTransforms() → NodePathCollection: Returns a list of the local transforms set for this node. Note that this returns a list of NodePaths, even though the local transforms are actually a list of PandaNodes.

getNetTransform(transform: LMatrix4): Copies the joint’s current net transform (composed from the root of the character joint hierarchy) into the indicated matrix.

getNetTransforms() → NodePathCollection: Returns a list of the net transforms set for this node. Note that this returns a list of NodePaths, even though the net transforms are actually a list of PandaNodes.

getTransform() → LMatrix4: Returns the transform matrix of the joint

getTransform(transform: LMatrix4): Copies the joint’s current transform into the indicated matrix.

getTransformState() → TransformState

hasLocalTransform(node: PandaNode) → bool: Returns true if the node is on the list of nodes that will be updated each frame with the joint’s local transform from its parent, false otherwise.

hasNetTransform(node: PandaNode) → bool: Returns true if the node is on the list of nodes that will be updated each frame with the joint’s net transform from the root, false otherwise.

removeLocalTransform(node: PandaNode) → bool

Removes the indicated node from the list of nodes that will be updated each frame with the joint’s local transform from its parent. Returns true if the node is successfully removed, false if it was not on the list.

If the node has a CharacterJointEffect that matches this joint’s Character, it will be cleared.

removeNetTransform(node: PandaNode) → bool

Removes the indicated node from the list of nodes that will be updated each frame with the joint’s net transform from the root. Returns true if the node is successfully removed, false if it was not on the list.

If the node has a CharacterJointEffect that matches this joint’s Character, it will be cleared.
