Heightfield Class

Extends Shape

Heightfield shape class. Height data is given as an array. These data points are spread out evenly with a distance "elementWidth".

Constructor

Heightfield

(
  • data
  • maxValue
  • elementWidth
)

Parameters:

  • data Array
  • maxValue Number
  • elementWidth Number

Methods

computeAABB

(
  • out
  • position
  • angle
)

Inherited from Shape but overwritten in src/shapes/Heightfield.js:63

Parameters:

  • out AABB

    The resulting AABB.

  • position Array
  • angle Number

computeMomentOfInertia

(
  • mass
)
Number

Inherited from Shape but overwritten in src/shapes/Heightfield.js:41

Parameters:

  • mass Number

Returns:

Number:

updateArea

()

Inherited from Shape: src/shapes/Shape.js:172

Update the .area property of the shape.

updateBoundingRadius

() Number

Inherited from Shape: src/shapes/Shape.js:163

Returns the bounding circle radius of this shape.

Returns:

Number:

Properties

area

Number

Inherited from Shape: src/shapes/Shape.js:87

Area of this shape.

boundingRadius

Number

Inherited from Shape: src/shapes/Shape.js:34

Bounding circle radius of this shape

collisionGroup

Number

Inherited from Shape: src/shapes/Shape.js:41

Collision group that this shape belongs to (bit mask). See this tutorial.

Example:

// Setup bits for each available group
var PLAYER = Math.pow(2,0),
    ENEMY =  Math.pow(2,1),
    GROUND = Math.pow(2,2)

// Put shapes into their groups
player1Shape.collisionGroup = PLAYER;
player2Shape.collisionGroup = PLAYER;
enemyShape  .collisionGroup = ENEMY;
groundShape .collisionGroup = GROUND;

// Assign groups that each shape collide with.
// Note that the players can collide with ground and enemies, but not with other players.
player1Shape.collisionMask = ENEMY | GROUND;
player2Shape.collisionMask = ENEMY | GROUND;
enemyShape  .collisionMask = PLAYER | GROUND;
groundShape .collisionMask = PLAYER | ENEMY;
// How collision check is done
if(shapeA.collisionGroup & shapeB.collisionMask)!=0 && (shapeB.collisionGroup & shapeA.collisionMask)!=0){
    // The shapes will collide
}

collisionMask

Number

Inherited from Shape: src/shapes/Shape.js:72

Collision mask of this shape. See .collisionGroup.

data

Array

An array of numbers, or height values, that are spread out along the x axis.

elementWidth

Number

The width of each element

id

Number

Inherited from Shape: src/shapes/Shape.js:27

Shape object identifier.

material

Material

Inherited from Shape: src/shapes/Shape.js:80

Material to use in collisions for this Shape. If this is set to null, the world will use default material properties instead.

maxValue

Number

Max value of the data

sensor

Boolean

Inherited from Shape: src/shapes/Shape.js:94

Set to true if you want this shape to be a sensor. A sensor does not generate contacts, but it still reports contact events. This is good if you want to know if a shape is overlapping another shape, without them generating contacts.
