Spawning fixed objects

[theclankinator]

Is there a way I can spawn 2 squares and have them fixated together?

Like a shotgun ejecting a shotgun shell having yellow at the bottom fixated to a red shell

Thanks!

You can use this code to create a fixjoint

Code: Select all

scene.addFixjoint({
    geom0 := ;
    geom0pos := ;
    geom1 := ;
    geom1pos := ;
    size := ;
})

This code will spawn something like a shotgun shell. It might not look like you wanted but if you upload your shotgun shell, I can make a script that spawns an exact copy of it.

Code: Select all

Scene.addBox({
        size := [2, 1];
        color := [0.76, 0, 0, 1];
        pos := [-1, 2.5];
        geomID := 1
    });
    Scene.addBox({
        size := [0.375, 1];
        color := [1, 1, 0.05, 1];
        pos := [-1.8125, 2.5];
        geomID := 0
    });
    Scene.addFixjoint({
        geom0 := 0;
        geom0pos := [0, 0];
        geom1 := 1;
        geom1pos := [-0.8125, 0];
        size := 0.2;
        color := [0, 0, 0, 0]
    })

Thats perfect! Thank you!

    })

Is there a way I can make the pos relative to a certain box?

So instead of the pos being [-1, 2.5], can I make it be pos := pos?

I played around with it a bit and the second geom just attached to the center of the first

Yes, you can do it with pos := pos

geom0pos is the position of the fixjoint relative to the center of geom0 and geom1pos is the position of the fixjoint relative to the center of geom1. So if you write geom0pos = [0, 0]; geom1pos = [0, 0] the center of the first box will be attached to the center of the second. If you write geom0pos = [-1, 0]; geom1pos = [1, 0] the right side of the first box will be attached to the left side of the second box. Note that the first box is geom1 and the second geom0.
