Class: physics_element

One rigid body element inside a physics shell.

Source

src/xrPhysics/PhysicsShellScript.cpp, physics_element binding.

Custom Constructor

physics_element

Remarks

Scripts normally receive elements from a physics_shell; they are live engine objects, not standalone values. Keep them only while the owning shell and object are alive.
