Inherits from: b2.Joint

Description

A prismatic joint. This joint provides one degree of freedom: translation along an axis fixed in body1. Relative rotation is prevented. You can use a joint limit to restrict the range of motion and a joint motor to drive the motion or to model joint friction.

Examples

Prismatic joint <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> --create empty box2d body for joint local ground = world:createBody({}) ground:setPosition(465, 480)

--axisx, axisy values usually between 0 and 1 --0 0 moves freely --0 1 moves on y axis --1 0 moves on x axis --1 1 moves on diagonal local jointDef = b2.createPrismaticJointDef(body, ground, 350, 100, 0.3, 1) local prismaticJoint = world:createJoint(jointDef) </source>

Methods b2.PrismaticJoint:enableLimit enables or disables the joint limit b2.PrismaticJoint:enableMotor enables or disables the joint motor b2.PrismaticJoint:getJointSpeed returns the current joint translation speed in meters per second b2.PrismaticJoint:getJointTranslation returns the current joint translation in meters b2.PrismaticJoint:getLimits returns the lower and upper joint limits in meters b2.PrismaticJoint:getMotorForce returns the current motor force given the inverse time step b2.PrismaticJoint:getMotorSpeed returns the motor speed in meters per second b2.PrismaticJoint:isLimitEnabled is the joint limit enabled? b2.PrismaticJoint:isMotorEnabled is the joint motor enabled? b2.PrismaticJoint:setLimits sets the joint limits in meters b2.PrismaticJoint:setMaxMotorForce sets the maximum motor force in N b2.PrismaticJoint:setMotorSpeed sets the motor speed in meters per second
