[Solved] How can I find out what values the constructor of BulletRigidBodyNode can take?

Hi,

I know it can take “Box” like:

self.node = BulletRigidBodyNode("Box")

But how do you know other possible values?

As far as I’m aware, the parameter that’s passed to BulletRigidBodyNode is much like the parameter that’s passed to most PandaNodes: simply a name, of little significance to the engine.

I imagine that any ordinary string should work, although I don’t know whether there are limitations on the length of said string.

Oh, it’s just a name! I thought if you pass “Sphere”, then a sphere will be created. I understood now that the shape is determined by another parameter:

self.node = BulletRigidBodyNode("Box")
self.shape = BulletBoxShape(Vec3(0.5, 0.5, 0.5))
self.node.addShape(self.shape)
