Point To Point Constraint: createConstraint

createConstraint(obj1_ID, obj2_ID, constraintType, pointPos_X, pointPos_Y, pointPos_Z)
  • Creates a point to point physics constraint

obj1_ID:
  • The physics ID of object 1.
  • Object 1 is used as the line hinge anchor/pivot point. 
obj2_ID:
  • The physics ID of object 2.

Constraint Type:

  • 0 = No Constraint
  • 1 = bge.constraints.POINTTOPOINT_CONSTRAINT
  • 2 = bge.constraints.LINEHINGE_CONSTRAINT
     
  • 3 = bge.constraints.ANGULAR_CONSTRAINT
     
  • 4 = bge.constraints.CONETWIST_CONSTRAINT
  • 11 = bge.constraints.VEHICLE_CONSTRAINT
  • 12 = bge.constraints.GENERIC_6DOF_CONSTRAINT (6 Degrees Of Freedom)

pointPos_X:

  • The x position of the point to point constraint.
  • X distance from the obj1 object center
pointPos_Y:
  • The y position of the point to point constraint.
  • Y distance  from the obj1 object center
pointPos_Z:
  • The z position of the point to point constraint.
  • Z distance from the obj1 object center
