Functions

M.process(objID, vehicleObj, vehicle)

Processes three mesh types: triangles (physics collision surfaces), props (rigid animated meshes attached to nodes), and flexbodies (soft-body meshes that deform with the node structure). Creates C++ mesh objects via the vehicle object API.

• Parameters:
  • objID - number - Vehicle object ID
  • vehicleObj - userdata - C++ vehicle object
  • vehicle - table - Assembled vehicle data with triangles, props, flexbodies sections
• Returns: self (module table, for chaining)

Internal Notes

• Triangles: Added via vehicleObj:addPhysicsTriangle(id1, id2, id3). Degenerate triangles (duplicate node IDs) are skipped.
• Props: Created via vehicleObj:addProp(). Support features:
  • Node-based positioning (ref, x, y nodes)
  • Translation/rotation with translationWorldToPropAxis for coordinate conversion
  • Steering wheel props can be disabled via settings
  • Color application via parseColor (supports RGBA table and hex string #RRGGBBAA)
  • Mesh material override, deformation groups, break groups
  • Rotation order and mode configuration
• Flexbodies: Created via vehicleObj:addFlexbody(). Support:
  • Node-based deformation (ref, x, y nodes)
  • Position/rotation transforms via jbeamUtils.getFlexbodyPosRotAfterNodeRotateOffsetMove
  • Scale, skin, mesh material
  • Group-based node assignment
• Props and flexbodies that reference invalid nodes are logged and skipped.
