Class: WeldJoint

A weld joint essentially glues two bodies together. A weld joint may distort somewhat because the island constraint solver is approximate.

Methods

getAnchorA()

getAnchorA(): Vec2

Get the anchor point on bodyA in world coordinates.

Returns

Overrides

Joint.getAnchorA


getAnchorB()

getAnchorB(): Vec2

Get the anchor point on bodyB in world coordinates.

Returns

Vec2

Overrides

Joint.getAnchorB


getBodyA()

getBodyA(): Body

Get the first body attached to this joint.

Returns

Body

Joint.getBodyA


getBodyB()

getBodyB(): Body

Get the second body attached to this joint.

Returns

getCollideConnected()

getCollideConnected(): boolean

Get collide connected. Note: modifying the collide connect flag won't work correctly because the flag is only checked when fixture AABBs begin to overlap.
