|  | const char * | group
| ) | `[pure virtual]`

Add a body to the specified group.

Parameters:

  | body | the body to add to the group.
  | group | the name of the group to add the body to. Creates the group if it does not exist.

| ) | `[pure virtual]`

During the specified time (in milliseconds) add the force every step to the given body.

This function is called by iPcMechanicsObject::AddForceDuration().

Parameters:

  | pcobject | a pointer to the object that will receive this force every step until the end of the given time.
  | force | a vector representing the force to add to this object.
  | relative | if set to true, the given force and position are both in object space; otherwise they are in world space.
  | position | the position of the force.
  | seconds | the number of seconds that this force should last.

virtual void iPcMechanicsSystem::AddForceFrame | ( | iPcMechanicsObject * | pcobject,
|  | const csVector3 & | force,
|  | bool | relative,
|  | const csVector3 & | position
| ) | `[pure virtual]`

During the next frame add the force every step.

This function is called by iPcMechanicsObject::AddForceFrame().

Parameters:

  | pcobject | a pointer to the object that will receive this force every step until the end of the frame.
  | force | a vector representing the force to add to this object.
  | relative | if set to true, the given force and position are both in object space; otherwise they are in world space.
  | position | the position of the force.

virtual void iPcMechanicsSystem::AddForceTagged | ( | iPcMechanicsObject * | pcobject,
|  | const csVector3 & | force,
|  | bool | relative,
|  | const csVector3 & | position,
|  | uint32 | forceid
| ) | `[pure virtual]`

Add a force with the given tag, to be manually removed later.

This function is called by iPcMechanicsObject::AddForceTagged().

Parameters:

  | pcobject | a pointer to the object that will receive this force every step until it is removed.
  | force | a vector representing the force to add to this object.
  | relative | if set to true, the given force and position are both in object space; otherwise they are in world space.
