Detailed Description

Turns a rig over to physics, and back.

Ordinary bodies and joints shaped like a skeleton, plus which body poses which bone, so one skinned mesh can be driven by a clip one frame and the solver the next.

active is the whole switch. False holds the bodies kinematic, placed from the animated pose every tick at its speed, so activation inherits the character's real shape and motion. The bones are siblings under root, a child of this entity, not nested, so a hip cannot move a shin behind the solver's back.

Member Data Documentation

boneLayer

int Vkm::Engine::Ragdoll::boneLayer = 1 << 1

The layer bit the bones were built on.

The build takes it out of the owner's collidesWith; this is what puts it back when the ragdoll goes.

rigScale

float Vkm::Engine::Ragdoll::rigScale = 1.0f

The rig's world scale when the bones were built.

Every bone's offset carries it. Recorded so a scale change is checked against the rig, not a posed bone an animation may scale on purpose.
