MSphysics script

[tecnozati]

Hello everyone, to see if a charitable soul can help me out.
Using MSPhysics script I want to get:
1 know the position of a servo join
2 move the servo without using “get_var ()” as controller

I wish to animate a mechanism with scripting, I would greatly appreciate code examples (I find it almost impossible to find them)
Greetings and many thanks

Resolved. Thank you thank you thank you

tecnozati,

Yeah, the docs do not have enough coding examples. But I intended to fix that someday.

To get the position of a servo joint from a script field, you will first need to know the name/id of the joint, which is displayed in UI when you select the joint. Then you can write the following code:

> onStart {
>   @j = simulation.find_joint_by_name("569422")
> }
> 
> onTick {
>   # Set desired angle
>   if (key(' ') == 1) 
>     @j.controller = 100.degrees
>   else
>     @j.controller = 0
>   end
>   
>   # Get current angle
>   simulation.log_line @j.cur_angle.radians
> }
> 

You can refer to servo docs for more functionality: https://www.rubydoc.info/github/AntonSynytsia/MSPhysics/MSPhysics/Servo
