Contact attributes
A rigid
body has read-only attributes that contain data on the contact made
with it during collisions. You can query the attributes in MEL commands
or expressions by using the attribute names in the table that follows.
| Long name |
Short name |
Description |
Data type |
contactCount
|
cct
|
Number of contacts in
the current frame.
|
integer
|
contactPosition
|
cnp
|
Position of each point
contact in the current frame. The length of the array is equal to contactCount.
|
vector array
|
contactName
|
cnn
|
List of rigid body names that
are in contact with the rigid body. The array is of length contactCount.
