Re: [Pyode-user] How can I translate the FixedJoint Position?

[Moster M. <mos...@ho...>]

Now, I used .setPosition((x,y,z)) and then call the setFixed function.
That works, but I don't know what influence will occur on my system, I means another bugs.

Thank you for your reply

      My code as follow:

      

      join = ode.FixedJoint(self.visualWorld.odeworld)

      join.attach(self.vObjList[0].body, obj.body)

      

      However, I want to translate the fixedjoint position.

      I try to translate but the result is not make sense.

      

      It would be better if I can detach this joint, translate it and
      attach again.

      But I don't know how to detach this joint

    
    

    I'm not sure I understand your question. You want to have two
    objects fixed together, but periodically change their positions?

    

    ODE does not provide a function to detach joints. Since FixedJoints
    don't have any state, you could probably destroy the joint, move the
    bodies, and create another one. However, be aware that the manual
    says:

    

    "Using this joint is almost never a good idea in practice, except
    when debugging. If you need two bodies to be glued together it is
    better to represent that as a single body."

    

    Hope this helps.
