Moving objects

[TheIvanHouse]

newbie question:
Should I move a body with:
btRigidBody::setTransform or btMotionState::setTransform

Can someone explain what the difference is in moving the objects in these ways

thanks

You can use either, but it depends on the scenario. Would you like to synchronize your transforms across systems in your code?

btRigidBody::setWorldTransform simply does exactly what you'd think it would do.

btMotionState::setWorldTransform provides you the ability to override the transform's get/set, and will let you update any transforms that may relevant to the associated rigidbody at the same time. The documentation suggests using this method for keeping a rigidbody's rendering transform and physical transform in-sync during simulation.
