PhysicsBridge Class

Modifiers: final
Bridge class providing access to native physics functionality. This class owns all the native methods for physics simulation that were previously in SpatialInterface.
This class is used internally by the physics feature systems and should not be instantiated directly by application code.

Signature

Functions

deletePhysics ( entity )
Removes physics components from the specified entity.
This method should be called when an entity with physics components is being deleted or when physics simulation is no longer needed for that entity.
Signature 
fun deletePhysics(entity: Entity)
Parameters
entity: Entity
  The entity from which to remove physics components.
enablePhysicsDebugLines ( enabled )
Toggles debug lines for visualization of the physics simulation. The color of the lines correspond to the state of the physics objects.
This is useful for debugging physics interactions and understanding how physics bodies are behaving in the scene.
Signature 
fun enablePhysicsDebugLines(enabled: Boolean)
Parameters
enabled: Boolean
  Whether to enable or disable physics debug lines.
potentiallyActivatePhysicsBodies ()
Potentially activates physics bodies that were deactivated due to deleted objects.
When a physics object is deleted, nearby physics bodies may need to be re-enabled to properly respond to the change in the physics world.
Signature 
fun potentiallyActivatePhysicsBodies()
setGravity ( x , y , z )
Sets the gravity vector for the physics simulation.
This method allows customizing the direction and strength of gravity in the physics world, which affects how objects fall and interact.
Signature 
fun setGravity(x: Float, y: Float, z: Float)
Parameters
x: Float
  The x-component of the gravity vector.
y: Float
  The y-component of the gravity vector.
z: Float
  The z-component of the gravity vector.
tickPhysics ()
Advances the physics simulation for a single frame.
This method performs collision detection, constraint solving, and integration of physics bodies, updating their positions and orientations.
Signature 
fun tickPhysics()
