API Referencecommonjbeamsections

Mirror Reference

Module defined in `lua/common/jbeam/sections/mirror.lua`. Processes mirror definitions from JBeam data, creating C++ mirror objects on the vehicle.

Functions

M.process(objID, vehicleObj, vehicle)

Iterates the mirrors section and creates mirror objects via vehicleObj:addMirror(). Configures each mirror's mesh, reference nodes, offset position, and normal direction. Handles retrocompatibility for deprecated properties.

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

Internal Notes

  • Mirror creation: vehicleObj:addMirror(mesh, idRef, id1, id2) returns mirror ID.
  • Position: prefers refBaseTranslation, falls back to offset.
  • Normal direction: prefers baseRotationGlobal (Euler → quaternion → normal), falls back to normal (deprecated).
  • offsetRotationGlobal and offsetNormal are deprecated - logs error suggesting mesh normal fixes.
  • All rotations converted via quatFromEuler with math.rad.

Meshs Reference

Module defined in `lua/common/jbeam/sections/meshs.lua`. Processes 3D mesh attachments: physics triangles, props (animated objects), and flexbodies (deformable meshes).

NodeBeam Reference

Module defined in `lua/common/jbeam/sections/nodeBeam.lua`. Processes core structural sections: nodes (position calculation), hydros (hydraulic actuators), ropes, and quads (pressure volumes).
