void PhysicsEntity::SetAngularVelocity ( Vector3Gf w )

Sets the angular velocity for the entity

Parameters

w	new angular velocity for this entity

void PhysicsEntity::SetNextAngularVelocity ( Vector3Gf w )

Sets the next orientation for the entity. This DOES NOT update the angular velocity until UpdateFromBuffers() is called

Parameters

w	next angular velocity for this entity

void PhysicsEntity::SetNextOrientation ( Quaternion q )

Sets the next orientation for the entity. This DOES NOT update the orientation until UpdateFromBuffers() is called

Parameters

q	next orientation for this entity

void PhysicsEntity::SetNextPosition ( Vector3Gf x )

Sets the next position buffer for this entity. This DOES NOT update the position until UpdateFromBuffers() is called.

Parameters

x	new position for this entity

void PhysicsEntity::SetNextVelocity ( Vector3Gf v )

Sets the next velocity buffer for the entity. This DOES NOT update the velocity until UpdateFromBuffers() is called.

Parameters

v	Next velocity for this entity

void PhysicsEntity::SetOrientation ( Quaternion q )

Sets the orientaiton for the entity

Parameters

q	new orientation for this entity

void PhysicsEntity::SetPosition ( Vector3Gf x )

Sets the position for this entity. If possible use SetNextPosition instead

Parameters

x	Next position for this entity

void PhysicsEntity::SetVelocity ( Vector3Gf v )

Sets the velocity for this entity. If possible use SetNextPosition instead

Parameters

v	new velocity for this entity

void PhysicsEntity::UpdateFromBuffers ( )

Updates internal state from buffers. This will load the next position and velocity from their corresponding buffers
