addWheel(wheel, attachPos, attachDir, axleDir, suspensionRestLength, wheelRadius, hasSteering)

Add a wheel to the vehicle

Parameters:
  • wheel (KX_GameObject or a KX_GameObject name) – The object to use as a wheel.
  • attachPos (vector of 3 floats) – The position that this wheel will attach to.
  • attachDir (vector of 3 floats) – The direction this wheel points.
  • axleDir (vector of 3 floats) – The direction of this wheels axle.
  • suspensionRestLength (float) – TODO - Description
  • wheelRadius (float) – The size of the wheel.
applyBraking(force, wheelIndex)

Apply a braking force to the specified wheel

Parameters:
  • force (float) – the brake force
  • wheelIndex (integer) – index of the wheel where the force needs to be applied
applyEngineForce(force, wheelIndex)

Apply an engine force to the specified wheel

Parameters:
  • force (float) – the engine force
  • wheelIndex (integer) – index of the wheel where the force needs to be applied
getConstraintId()

Get the constraint ID

Returns:the constraint id
Return type:integer
getConstraintType()

Returns the constraint type.

Returns:constraint type
Return type:integer
getNumWheels()

Returns the number of wheels.

Returns:the number of wheels for this vehicle
Return type:integer
getWheelOrientationQuaternion(wheelIndex)

Returns the wheel orientation as a quaternion.

Parameters:wheelIndex (integer) – the wheel index
Returns:TODO Description
Return type:TODO - type should be quat as per method name but from the code it looks like a matrix
getWheelPosition(wheelIndex)

Returns the position of the specified wheel

Parameters:wheelIndex (integer) – the wheel index
Returns:position vector
Return type:list[x, y, z]
getWheelRotation(wheelIndex)

Returns the rotation of the specified wheel

Parameters:wheelIndex (integer) – the wheel index
Returns:the wheel rotation
Return type:float
setRollInfluence(rollInfluece, wheelIndex)
