class IPhysicsMaterial : public virtual IRefCounted

Provides interface for managing physical materials.

Materials can be used to override physical properties (such as friction, restitution) of an area (sub-shape, triangle) of a collider surface or the whole collider surface. Material data can be obtained at a contact point and later utilized to choose a sound or a particle effect to visualize the contact.

Private Types

using Ptr = Ptr<IPhysicsMaterial>

A pointer type for referencing IPhysicsMaterial objects.

Private Functions

virtual eastl::string_view getName() const = 0

Retrives the name of the material.

Returns:

Name of the material.

virtual eastl::optional<TFloat> getFriction() const = 0

Retrieves the friction value.

See nau::physics::PhysicsBodyCreationData::friction for more information.

Returns:

Friction value. An implementation may return an empty value, if this material is not intended to override the body default friction.

virtual eastl::optional<TFloat> getRestitution() const = 0

Retrieves the restitution value.

See nau::physics::PhysicsBodyCreationData::restitution for more information.

Returns:

Restitution value. An implementation may return an empty value, if this material is not intended to override the body default restitution.
