Last change on this file since 10618 was 10288, checked in by landauf, 10 years ago

added bullet settings for CCD (continuous collision detection) to WorldEntity. initially I thought we need this to avoid the tunneling effect of projectiles at low FPS, but now it turns out that this gets also fixed if projectiles use dynamic physics. I still add the new settings to WorldEntity because we may still need them for very fast objects.

48    @brief
49        The WorldEntity represents everything that can be put in a Scene at a certain location.
50
51        It is supposed to be the base class of everything you would call an 'object' in a Scene.
52        The class itself is abstract which means you cannot use it directly. You may use StaticEntity
53        as the simplest derivative or (derived from MobileEntity) MovableEntity and ControllableEntity
54        as more advanced ones.
55
56        The basic task of the WorldEntity is provide a location, a direction and a scaling and the possibility
57        to create an entire hierarchy of derived objects.
58        It is also the basis for the physics interface to the Bullet physics engine.
59        Every WorldEntity can have a specific collision type: @see CollisionType
60        This would then imply that every scene object could have any collision type. To limit this, you can always
61        override this->isCollisionTypeLegal(CollisionType). Return false if the collision type is not supported
62        for a specific object.
63        There is also support for attaching WorldEntities with physics to each other. Currently, the collision shape
64        of both objects simply get merged into one larger shape (for static collision type).
65        The physical body that is internally stored and administrated has the following supported properties:
66        - Restitution, angular factor, linear damping, angular damping, friction, mass and collision shape.
67        You can get more information at the corresponding set function.
68
69        Collision shapes: These are controlled by the internal WorldEntityCollisionShape. @see WorldEntityCollisionShape.
