Is it possible to read the mass of a rigid body?

This seems like it should be simple, but I don't see any way to do it in the API.

Re: btPersistentManifold::getNumContacts always returns zero

Thank you, I actually ended up solving the problem myself. It turns out the problem was a false assumption I had about the contact manifolds: I thought they would only be created when there were already points of contact, but it turns out those "collisions" are already registered when the ...

What's the best way to pin a rigid body to another rigid body?

I have a simulation where the character model is a capsule rigid body which is moved by applying forces. I want to have another body which represents the hit box for a weapon which moves relative to the character body. I.e. imagine a sword blade which moves along a set path relative to the character...

btPersistentManifold::getNumContacts always returns zero

I want to get access to the contact point details for a collision. The problem is, whenever I try to get the number of contacts from a manifold, via btPersistentManifold::getNumContacts, the result is always zero. Here's how I'm getting the contacts: // these methods are part of a C wrapper so I can...

Question about pooled allocations

So I am integrating Bullet into a data-driven ECS design, and basically everything in the engine is batch-allocated. I would like to also allocate all of my rigid bodies at once also. In all of the examples I can find, btRigidBody is allocates one-at-a-time using `new`, however I can see that there ...
