Syntax

AddTorque(number x, number y, number z, bool global = true)
AddTorque(Vec3 torque, bool global = true)

Parameters

x: x component of the torque to add.
y: y component of the torque to add.
z: z component of the torque to add.
torque: the torque to add.
global: if set to true, the torque will be added in global space. Set this to false to use local space.

Example

--Create a window
window = Window:Create()
context = Context:Create(window)

world = World:Create()

local camera = Camera:Create()
camera:SetRotation(35,0,0)
camera:Move(0,0,-8)

local light = DirectionalLight:Create()
light:SetRotation(35,35,0)

--Create the ground
local ground = Model:Box(10,1,10)
ground:SetPosition(0,-0.5,0)
ground:SetColor(0,1,0)

--Create a shape
local shape = Shape:Box(0,0,0, 0,0,0, 10,1,10)
ground:SetShape(shape)
shape:Release()

--Create a model
local model = Model:Box(10,1,1)
model:SetPosition(0,0.5,0)
model:SetColor(0,0,1)
model:SetMass(1)

--Create a shape
local shape = Shape:Box(0,0,0, 0,0,0, 10,1,1)
model:SetShape(shape)
shape:Release()

--Add some torque
model:AddTorque(10000,0,0)
