Change connection mode from DIRECT to GUI (launch GUI after connecting via DIRECT)

2021-02-01T19:04:43+00:00

Hi,

I run my PyBullet client in DIRECT mode for faster simulations, but I want to launch the existing physics client in a GUI when a particular event is triggered. Is there a way to do this? I have tried using the SHARED_MEMORY connection mode after having launched a client in DIRECT mode but I get a "Not connected to physics server" error.

To make things concrete, I want to do something like this:

Code:

import pybullet as pfrom pybullet_utils import bullet_client as bcimport randomsim = bc.BulletClient(connection_mode=p.DIRECT)if (random.random() > 0.5):# launch the `sim' client in a GUI here

Thanks!
