Struct Position

pub struct Position(pub Vector);

The global position of a rigid body or a collider.

Relation to Transform and GlobalTransform

Position is used for physics internally and kept in sync with Transform by the PhysicsTransformPlugin. It rarely needs to be used directly in your own code, as Transform can still be used for almost everything. Using Position should only be required for managing positions in systems running in the SubstepSchedule. However, if you prefer, you can also use Position for everything.

The reasons why the engine uses a separate Position component can be found here.

Example

use avian3d::prelude::*;
use bevy::prelude::*;

fn setup(mut commands: Commands) {
    commands.spawn((
        RigidBody::Dynamic,
         Position::from_xyz(0.0, 2.0, 0.0),
    ));
}

Implementations

impl Position

pub const PLACEHOLDER: Self

A placeholder position. This is an invalid position and should not be used to an actually position entities in the world, but can be used to indicate that a position has not yet been initialized.

pub fn new(position: Vector) -> Self

Creates a Position component with the given global position.

pub fn from_xyz(x: Scalar, y: Scalar, z: Scalar) -> Self

Creates a Position component with the global position (x, y, z).

pub fn any_orthogonal_vector(&self) -> Vec3

Returns some vector that is orthogonal to the given one.

Returns any unit vector that is orthogonal to the given one.

The input vector must be unit length.
