Kinematics

Basic kinematics calculator that can be used like a spring. See Spring also.

Properties​

Position​

</>
Kinematics.Position: T

Gets and sets the current position of the Kinematics

Velocity​

</>
Kinematics.Velocity: T

Gets and sets the current velocity of the Kinematics

Acceleration​

</>
Kinematics.Acceleration: T

Gets and sets the acceleration.

StartTime​

</>
Kinematics.StartTime: T

Gets and sets the start time.

StartPosition​

</>
Kinematics.StartPosition: T

Gets and set the start position

StartVelocity​

</>
Kinematics.StartVelocity: T

Sets the start velocity

Speed​

</>
Kinematics.Speed: number

Sets the playback speed

Age​

This item is read only and cannot be modified. Read Only
</>
Kinematics.Age: number

Returns how old the kinematics is

Clock​

</>
Kinematics.Clock: () → number

The current clock object to syncronize the kienmatics against.

Functions​

new​

</>
Kinematics.new(
initial: T,--

The initial parameter is a number or Vector3 (anything with * number and addition/subtraction).

clock?: () → number--

The clock function is optional, and is used to update the kinematics class

) → Kinematics<T>

Constructs a new kinematics class.

local kinematics = Kinematics.new(0)
kinematics.Acceleration = -32
kinematics.Velocity = 10

print(kinematics.Position) --> 0
task.wait(1)
print(kinematics.Position) --> -10

Impulse​

</>
Kinematics:Impulse(velocity: T) → ()

Impulses the current kinematics object, applying velocity to it.

TimeSkip​

</>
Kinematics:TimeSkip(delta: number) → ()

Skips forward in the set amount of time dictated by delta

SetData​

</>
Kinematics:SetData(
startTime: number,
position0: T,
velocity0: T,
acceleration: T
) → ()

Sets data from some external source all at once. This is useful for synchronizing the network.
