RigidBodyController::SetExternalTorque

Defined in: C4Physics.h

Sets the external torque acting on a rigid body.

Prototype

void SetExternalTorque(const Bivector3D& torque);

Parameters

torque The new external torque, in world-space coordinates.

Description

The SetExternalTorque function sets the external torque, in world-space coordinates, acting on a rigid body about its center of mass to the torque specified by the torque parameter. The torque is measured in kilonewtons times meters (kN⋅m).

Once an external torque is established, it is applied continuously until it is removed. The RigidBodyController::ApplyImpulse function can be used to exert a one-time instantaneous torque on a rigid body.

The initial value of the external torque is (0,0,0).
