Detailed Description

The main class for the physics system. It contains all rigid bodies and simulates them.

The main simulation is performed by the Update() call on multiple threads (if the JobSystem is configured to use them). Please refer to the general architecture overview in the Docs folder for more information.

void PhysicsSystem::Init ( uint  inMaxBodies,
uint  inNumBodyMutexes,
uint  inMaxBodyPairs,
uint  inMaxContactConstraints,
const BroadPhaseLayerInterface inBroadPhaseLayerInterface,
const ObjectVsBroadPhaseLayerFilter inObjectVsBroadPhaseLayerFilter,
const ObjectLayerPairFilter inObjectLayerPairFilter 
)

Initialize the system.

Parameters
inMaxBodiesMaximum number of bodies to support.
inNumBodyMutexesNumber of body mutexes to use. Should be a power of 2 in the range [1, 64], use 0 to auto detect.
inMaxBodyPairsMaximum amount of body pairs to process (anything else will fall through the world), this number should generally be much higher than the max amount of contact points as there will be lots of bodies close that are not actually touching.
inMaxContactConstraintsMaximum amount of contact constraints to process (anything else will fall through the world).
inBroadPhaseLayerInterfaceInformation on the mapping of object layers to broad phase layers. Since this is a virtual interface, the instance needs to stay alive during the lifetime of the PhysicsSystem.
inObjectVsBroadPhaseLayerFilterFilter callback function that is used to determine if an object layer collides with a broad phase layer. Since this is a virtual interface, the instance needs to stay alive during the lifetime of the PhysicsSystem.
inObjectLayerPairFilterFilter callback function that is used to determine if two object layers collide. Since this is a virtual interface, the instance needs to stay alive during the lifetime of the PhysicsSystem.

◆ OptimizeBroadPhase()

void PhysicsSystem::OptimizeBroadPhase ( )

Optimize the broadphase, needed only if you've added many bodies prior to calling Update() for the first time. Don't call this every frame as PhysicsSystem::Update spreads out the same work over multiple frames. If you add many bodies through BodyInterface::AddBodiesPrepare/AddBodiesFinalize and if the bodies in a batch are in a roughly unoccupied space (e.g. a new level section) then a call to OptimizeBroadPhase is also not needed as batch adding creates an efficient bounding volume hierarchy. Don't call this function while bodies are being modified from another thread or use the locking BodyInterface to modify bodies.

◆ RemoveConstraint()

void PhysicsSystem::RemoveConstraint ( Constraint inConstraint)
inline

Remove constraint from the world.

◆ RemoveConstraints()

void PhysicsSystem::RemoveConstraints ( Constraint **  inConstraints,
int  inNumber 
)
inline

Batch remove constraints.

◆ RemoveStepListener()

void PhysicsSystem::RemoveStepListener ( PhysicsStepListener inListener)

Removes a step listener.

◆ RestoreBodyState()

void PhysicsSystem::RestoreBodyState ( Body ioBody,
StateRecorder inStream 
)

Restoring state of a single body.

◆ RestoreState()

bool PhysicsSystem::RestoreState ( StateRecorder inStream,
const StateRecorderFilter inFilter = nullptr 
)

Restoring state for replay. Returns false if failed.

◆ SaveBodyState()

void PhysicsSystem::SaveBodyState ( const Body inBody,
StateRecorder inStream 
) const

Saving state of a single body.

◆ SaveState()

void PhysicsSystem::SaveState ( StateRecorder inStream,
EStateRecorderState  inState = EStateRecorderState::All,
const StateRecorderFilter inFilter = nullptr 
) const

Saving state for replay.

◆ SetBodyActivationListener()

void PhysicsSystem::SetBodyActivationListener ( BodyActivationListener inListener)
inline

Listener that is notified whenever a body is activated/deactivated.

◆ SetCombineFriction()

void PhysicsSystem::SetCombineFriction ( ContactConstraintManager::CombineFunction  inCombineFriction)
inline

Set the function that combines the friction of two bodies and returns it Default method is the geometric mean: sqrt(friction1 * friction2).

◆ SetCombineRestitution()

void PhysicsSystem::SetCombineRestitution ( ContactConstraintManager::CombineFunction  inCombineRestitution)
inline

Set the function that combines the restitution of two bodies and returns it Default method is max(restitution1, restitution1)

◆ SetContactListener()

void PhysicsSystem::SetContactListener ( ContactListener inListener)
inline

Listener that is notified whenever a contact point between two bodies is added/updated/removed. You can't change contact listener during PhysicsSystem::Update but it can be changed at any other time.

◆ SetGravity()

void PhysicsSystem::SetGravity ( Vec3Arg  inGravity)
inline

Set gravity value.

◆ SetPhysicsSettings()

void PhysicsSystem::SetPhysicsSettings ( const PhysicsSettings inSettings)
inline

Control the main constants of the physics simulation.

◆ SetSimShapeFilter()

void PhysicsSystem::SetSimShapeFilter ( const SimShapeFilter inShapeFilter)
inline

Set/get the shape filter that will be used during simulation. This can be used to exclude shapes within a body from colliding with each other. E.g. if you have a high detail and a low detail collision model, you can attach them to the same body in a StaticCompoundShape and use the ShapeFilter to exclude the high detail collision model when simulating and exclude the low detail collision model when casting rays. Note that in this case you would need to pass the inverse of inShapeFilter to the CastRay function. Pass a nullptr to disable the shape filter. The PhysicsSystem does not own the ShapeFilter, make sure it stays alive during the lifetime of the PhysicsSystem.

◆ SetSoftBodyContactListener()

void PhysicsSystem::SetSoftBodyContactListener ( SoftBodyContactListener inListener)
inline

Listener that is notified whenever a contact point between a soft body and another body.

◆ Update()

EPhysicsUpdateError PhysicsSystem::Update ( float  inDeltaTime,
int  inCollisionSteps,
TempAllocator inTempAllocator,
JobSystem inJobSystem 
)

Simulate the system. The world steps for a total of inDeltaTime seconds. This is divided in inCollisionSteps iterations. Each iteration consists of collision detection followed by an integration step. This function internally spawns jobs using inJobSystem and waits for them to complete, so no jobs will be running when this function returns. The temp allocator is used, for example, to store the list of bodies that are in contact, how they form islands together and data to solve the contacts between bodies. At the end of the Update call, all allocated memory will have been freed.

◆ WereBodiesInContact()

bool PhysicsSystem::WereBodiesInContact ( const BodyID inBody1ID,
const BodyID inBody2ID 
) const
inline

Check if 2 bodies were in contact during the last simulation step. Since contacts are only detected between active bodies, so at least one of the bodies must be active in order for this function to work. It queries the state at the time of the last PhysicsSystem::Update and will return true if the bodies were in contact, even if one of the bodies was moved / removed afterwards. This function can be called from any thread when the PhysicsSystem::Update is not running. During PhysicsSystem::Update this function is only valid during contact callbacks:

  • During the ContactListener::OnContactAdded callback this function can be used to determine if a different contact pair between the bodies was active in the previous simulation step (function returns true) or if this is the first step that the bodies are touching (function returns false).
  • During the ContactListener::OnContactRemoved callback this function can be used to determine if this is the last contact pair between the bodies (function returns false) or if there are other contacts still present (function returns true).
