Parameter

Description

3dmember

This method adds the proxy Template created using createProxyTemplate() method to the specified 3dmember.

A new model resource of type #physicsmesh is added to the 3dmember.

Note: The addProxyTemplate() method only adds the proxyTemplate as a newModelResource #physicsmesh in the specified 3d world member. To save the newly added proxy, either the saveWorld() or saveW3d() method has to be called.

Example

--Lingo syntax 
member("PhysicsWorld").addProxyTemplate(member("3dWorld") , ProxyTemplate, "saved_proxyTemplateName") 
--creates a modelresource of type #physicsmesh in the 3d world specified. 
--modelresource("saved_proxyTemplateName").meshtype gives the type of physicsmesh . i.e #concave and #convex. 
--Use saveWorld() or saveW3d() methods to save the proxy added to the 3d world. 
-- member("3dWorld").saveW3d(the moviepath & "proxyWorld.w3d") 
// JavaScript syntax 
member("PhysicsWorld").addProxyTemplate(member("3dWorld") , ProxyTemplate,"saved_proxyTemplateName");
Note: Best practice is to save the proxy template using the message window.
