I'm designing a system involving numerous particles. I want to be able to set the moment of inertia of these particles. At first, I had considered using the function physics_mass_properties to set the moment of inertia. However, a closer look at the documentation indicates that the fourth parameter
As a side note, if
inertia
is in fact linear inertia. Citation:SinceAs for the inertia, this basically defines how resistant the instance is to changes in its direction and velocity, so a higher inertia makes it more resistant and a low inertia makes it less resistant (inertia and mass cannot be negative values!).
inertia
controls the linear inertia of a physics object, how can I set the moment of inertia for a physics object?As a side note, if
inertia
controls the linear inertia of a physics object, wouldn't that make mass
redundant? Why, then, are mass
and inertia
parameters?
