BulletVehicle¶

class BulletVehicle¶

Bases: TypedReferenceCount

Simulates a raycast vehicle which casts a ray per wheel at the ground as a cheap replacement for complex suspension simulation. The suspension can be tuned in various ways. It is possible to add a (probably) arbitrary number of wheels.

BulletVehicle.__init__()¶: Creates a new BulletVehicle instance in the given world and with a chassis node.

BulletVehicle.apply_engine_force()¶: Applies force at the wheel with index idx for acceleration.

BulletVehicle.create_wheel()¶

Wheels

Factory method for creating wheels for this vehicle instance.

BulletVehicle.get_chassis()¶: Returns the chassis of this vehicle. The chassis is a rigid body node.

static BulletVehicle.get_class_type()¶

BulletVehicle.get_current_speed_km_hour()¶: Returns the current speed in kilometers per hour. Convert to miles using: km/h * 0.62 = mph

BulletVehicle.get_forward_vector()¶: Returns the forward vector representing the car’s actual direction of movement. The forward vetcor is given in global coordinates.

BulletVehicle.get_num_wheels()¶: Returns the number of wheels this vehicle has.

BulletVehicle.get_steering_value()¶: Returns the steering angle of the wheel with index idx in degrees.

BulletVehicle.get_tuning()¶

Tuning

Returns a reference to the BulletVehicleTuning object of this vehicle which offers various vehicle-global tuning options. Make sure to configure this before adding wheels!

BulletVehicle.get_wheel()¶: Returns the BulletWheel with index idx. Causes an AssertionError if idx is equal or larger than the number of wheels.

BulletVehicle.reset_suspension()¶: Resets the vehicle’s suspension.

BulletVehicle.set_brake()¶: Applies braking force to the wheel with index idx.

BulletVehicle.set_coordinate_system()¶: Specifies which axis is “up”. Nessecary for the vehicle’s suspension to work properly!

BulletVehicle.set_pitch_control()¶

BulletVehicle.set_steering_value()¶: Sets the steering value (in degrees) of the wheel with index idx.
