hinge position

Hello,

I'd like to joint two vehicles with an hinge... but i don't really understand how to setup where the hinge is linked on the vehicles.

OgreNewt::BasicJoints::Hinge *joint=new OgreNewt::BasicJoints::Hinge(m_World,mCar->getChassisBody(),mCar2->getChassisBody(),Vector3(2,0,0),Vector3(0,0,1));


Thanks

please answer, i'm lost....
I've read newton docs, newton wiki, this forum, the documentation on the ogrenewt in the code but i still can't manage to make it work like i want

well, and I also looked the demos

the "pos" is the GLOBAL location of the center of the hinge. you should find the position between your 2 cars where the hings will be located, and pass that.

the "pin" is the line around which the hinge will rotate, in GLOBAL space. so for a door, it would be something like (0,1,0) (assuming Y us UP in your world).

okay thank you very much

I think I understand a little bit more
