Struct gdnative_bindings_lily::VehicleWheel

pub struct VehicleWheel { /* fields omitted */ }

core class VehicleWheel inherits Spatial (unsafe).

Official documentation

See the documentation of this class in the Godot engine’s official documentation. The method descriptions are generated from it and typically contain code samples in GDScript, not Rust.

Memory management

Non reference counted objects such as the ones of this type are usually owned by the engine.

VehicleWheel is a reference-only type. Persistent references can only exist in the unsafe Ref<VehicleWheel> form.

In the cases where Rust code owns an object of this type, for example if the object was just created on the Rust side and not passed to the engine yet, ownership should be either given to the engine or the object must be manually destroyed using Ref::free, or Ref::queue_free if it is a Node.

Class hierarchy

VehicleWheel inherits methods from:

• Spatial
• Node
• Object

Safety

All types in the Godot API have “interior mutability” in Rust parlance. To enforce that the official thread-safety guidelines are followed, the typestate pattern is used in the Ref and TRef smart pointers, and the Instance API. The typestate Access in these types tracks whether the access is unique, shared, or exclusive to the current thread. For more information, see the type-level documentation on Ref.

Implementations

impl VehicleWheel

pub fn new() -> Ref<Self, Unique>

Creates a new instance of this object.

Because this type is not reference counted, the lifetime of the returned object is not automatically managed.

Immediately after creation, the object is owned by the caller, and can be passed to the engine (in which case the engine will be responsible for destroying the object) or destroyed manually using Ref::free, or preferably Ref::queue_free if it is a Node.

pub fn brake(&self) -> f64

Slows down the wheel by applying a braking force. The wheel is only slowed down if it is in contact with a surface. The force you need to apply to adequately slow down your vehicle depends on the [member RigidBody.mass] of the vehicle. For a vehicle with a mass set to 1000, try a value in the 25 - 30 range for hard braking.

pub fn damping_compression(&self) -> f64

The damping applied to the spring when the spring is being compressed. This value should be between 0.0 (no damping) and 1.0. A value of 0.0 means the car will keep bouncing as the spring keeps its energy. A good value for this is around 0.3 for a normal car, 0.5 for a race car.

pub fn damping_relaxation(&self) -> f64

The damping applied to the spring when relaxing. This value should be between 0.0 (no damping) and 1.0. This value should always be slightly higher than the [member damping_compression] property. For a [member damping_compression] value of 0.3, try a relaxation value of 0.5.

pub fn engine_force(&self) -> f64

Accelerates the wheel by applying an engine force. The wheel is only speed up if it is in contact with a surface. The [member RigidBody.mass] of the vehicle has an effect on the acceleration of the vehicle. For a vehicle with a mass set to 1000, try a value in the 25 - 50 range for acceleration. Note: The simulation does not take the effect of gears into account, you will need to add logic for this if you wish to simulate gears. A negative value will result in the wheel reversing.

pub fn friction_slip(&self) -> f64

This determines how much grip this wheel has. It is combined with the friction setting of the surface the wheel is in contact with. 0.0 means no grip, 1.0 is normal grip. For a drift car setup, try setting the grip of the rear wheels slightly lower than the front wheels, or use a lower value to simulate tire wear. It’s best to set this to 1.0 when starting out.

pub fn radius(&self) -> f64

The radius of the wheel in meters.

pub fn roll_influence(&self) -> f64

This value affects the roll of your vehicle. If set to 1.0 for all wheels, your vehicle will be prone to rolling over, while a value of 0.0 will resist body roll.

pub fn get_rpm(&self) -> f64

Returns the rotational speed of the wheel in revolutions per minute.

pub fn get_skidinfo(&self) -> f64

Returns a value between 0.0 and 1.0 that indicates whether this wheel is skidding. 0.0 is skidding (the wheel has lost grip, e.g. icy terrain), 1.0 means not skidding (the wheel has full grip, e.g. dry asphalt road).

pub fn steering(&self) -> f64

The steering angle for the wheel. Setting this to a non-zero value will result in the vehicle turning when it’s moving.

pub fn suspension_max_force(&self) -> f64

The maximum force the spring can resist. This value should be higher than a quarter of the [member RigidBody.mass] of the VehicleBody or the spring will not carry the weight of the vehicle. Good results are often obtained by a value that is about 3× to 4× this number.

pub fn suspension_rest_length(&self) -> f64

This is the distance in meters the wheel is lowered from its origin point. Don’t set this to 0.0 and move the wheel into position, instead move the origin point of your wheel (the gizmo in Godot) to the position the wheel will take when bottoming out, then use the rest length to move the wheel down to the position it should be in when the car is in rest.

pub fn suspension_stiffness(&self) -> f64

This value defines the stiffness of the suspension. Use a value lower than 50 for an off-road car, a value between 50 and 100 for a race car and try something around 200 for something like a Formula 1 car.

pub fn suspension_travel(&self) -> f64

This is the distance the suspension can travel. As Godot units are equivalent to meters, keep this setting relatively low. Try a value between 0.1 and 0.3 depending on the type of car.

pub fn is_in_contact(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this wheel is in contact with a surface.

pub fn is_used_as_steering(&self) -> bool

If true, this wheel will be turned when the car steers. This value is used in conjunction with [member VehicleBody.steering] and ignored if you are using the per-wheel [member steering] value instead.

pub fn is_used_as_traction(&self) -> bool

If true, this wheel transfers engine force to the ground to propel the vehicle forward. This value is used in conjunction with [member VehicleBody.engine_force] and ignored if you are using the per-wheel [member engine_force] value instead.

pub fn set_brake(&self, brake: f64)

Slows down the wheel by applying a braking force. The wheel is only slowed down if it is in contact with a surface. The force you need to apply to adequately slow down your vehicle depends on the [member RigidBody.mass] of the vehicle. For a vehicle with a mass set to 1000, try a value in the 25 - 30 range for hard braking.

pub fn set_damping_compression(&self, length: f64)

The damping applied to the spring when the spring is being compressed. This value should be between 0.0 (no damping) and 1.0. A value of 0.0 means the car will keep bouncing as the spring keeps its energy. A good value for this is around 0.3 for a normal car, 0.5 for a race car.

pub fn set_damping_relaxation(&self, length: f64)

The damping applied to the spring when relaxing. This value should be between 0.0 (no damping) and 1.0. This value should always be slightly higher than the [member damping_compression] property. For a [member damping_compression] value of 0.3, try a relaxation value of 0.5.

pub fn set_engine_force(&self, engine_force: f64)

pub const NOTIFICATION_ENTER_WORLD: i64

pub const NOTIFICATION_EXIT_WORLD: i64

pub const NOTIFICATION_TRANSFORM_CHANGED: i64

pub const NOTIFICATION_VISIBILITY_CHANGED: i64

pub fn force_update_transform(&self)

Forces the transform to update. Transform changes in physics are not instant for performance reasons. Transforms are accumulated and then set. Use this if you need an up-to-date transform when doing physics operations.

pub fn gizmo(&self) -> Option<Ref<SpatialGizmo, Shared>>

The SpatialGizmo for this node. Used for example in EditorSpatialGizmo as custom visualization and editing handles in Editor.

pub fn global_transform(&self) -> Transform

World space (global) Transform of this node.

pub fn get_parent_spatial(&self) -> Option<Ref<Spatial, Shared>>

Returns the parent Spatial, or an empty Object if no parent exists or parent is not of type Spatial.

pub fn rotation(&self) -> Vector3

Rotation part of the local transformation in radians, specified in terms of YXZ-Euler angles in the format (X angle, Y angle, Z angle). Note: In the mathematical sense, rotation is a matrix and not a vector. The three Euler angles, which are the three independent parameters of the Euler-angle parametrization of the rotation matrix, are stored in a Vector3 data structure not because the rotation is a vector, but only because Vector3 exists as a convenient data-structure to store 3 floating-point numbers. Therefore, applying affine operations on the rotation “vector” is not meaningful.

pub fn rotation_degrees(&self) -> Vector3

Rotation part of the local transformation in degrees, specified in terms of YXZ-Euler angles in the format (X angle, Y angle, Z angle).

pub fn scale(&self) -> Vector3

Scale part of the local transformation.

Rotation part of the local transformation in radians, specified in terms of YXZ-Euler angles in the format (X angle, Y angle, Z angle). Note: In the mathematical sense, rotation is a matrix and not a vector. The three Euler angles, which are the three independent parameters of the Euler-angle parametrization of the rotation matrix, are stored in a Vector3 data structure not because the rotation is a vector, but only because Vector3 exists as a convenient data-structure to store 3 floating-point numbers. Therefore, applying affine operations on the rotation “vector” is not meaningful.

Changes the node’s position by the given offset Vector3. Note that the translation offset is affected by the node’s scale, so if scaled by e.g. (10, 1, 1), a translation by an offset of (2, 0, 0) would actually add 20 (2 * 10) to the X coordinate.

pub fn translate_object_local(&self, offset: Vector3)

Changes the node’s position by the given offset Vector3 in local space.

pub fn update_gizmo(&self)

Updates the SpatialGizmo of this node.
