direct.controls.PhysicsWalker

from direct.controls.PhysicsWalker import PhysicsWalker

PhysicsWalker.py is for avatars.

A walker control such as this one provides:

• creation of the collision nodes

• handling the keyboard and mouse input for avatar movement

• moving the avatar

it does not:

• play sounds

• play animations

although it does send messages that allow a listener to play sounds or animations based on walker events.

Inheritance diagram

class PhysicsWalker(gravity=-32.174, standableGround=0.707, hardLandingForce=16.0)

Bases: DirectObject

__init__(gravity=-32.174, standableGround=0.707, hardLandingForce=16.0)

addBlastForce(vector)

avatarPhysicsIndicator(task)

debugPrint(message)

for debugging

deleteCollisions()

determineHeight()

returns the height of the avatar above the ground. If there is no floor below the avatar, 0.0 is returned. aka get airborne height.

disableAvatarControls()

Ignore the arrow keys, etc.

displayDebugInfo()

For debug use.

doDeltaPos()

enableAvatarControls()

Activate the arrow keys, etc.

flushEventHandlers()

getCollisionsActive()

getSpeeds()

getVelocity()

handleAvatarControls(task)

Check on the arrow keys and update the avatar.

initializeCollisions(collisionTraverser, avatarNodePath, wallBitmask, floorBitmask, avatarRadius=1.4, floorOffset=1.0, reach=1.0)

Set up the avatar collisions

notify = <direct.directnotify.Notifier.Notifier object>

oneTimeCollide()

Makes one quick collision pass for the avatar, for instance as a one-time straighten-things-up operation after collisions have been disabled.

placeOnFloor()

Make a reasonable effort to place the avatar on the ground. For example, this is useful when switching away from the current walker.

reset()

setAirborneHeightFunc(getAirborneHeight)

setAvatar(avatar)

setAvatarPhysicsIndicator(indicator)

indicator is a NodePath

setCollisionsActive(active=1)

setPriorParentVector()

setWalkSpeed(forward, jump, reverse, rotate)

setupAvatarPhysicsIndicator()

setupPhysics(avatarNodePath)

setupRay(floorBitmask, floorOffset)

setupSphere(bitmask, avatarRadius)

Set up the collision sphere
