Description
Creates a one-dimensional seatbelt.
Inputs
- entity
- Component type about which the seatbelt should be wrapped. Currently only COMPS are supported.
- markmask
- Components about which the seatbelt should be wrapped.
- fromNode
- The seatbelt starting point.
- toNode
- The seatbelt ending point.
- fromSidePlane
- The plane orienting the starting side of the seatbelt.
- middlePlane
- The plane orienting the middle of the seatbelt.
- toSidePlane
- The plane orienting the ending side of the seatbelt.
- gap
- The offset of the seatbelt from the surface of the components.
- density
- The number of elements in the seatbelt.
- elementsize
- The size of one element in the seatbelt. Ignored, if density is nonzero.
Examples
To create a 1D seatbelt with the starting point fromNode and the end
point toNode, with the gap equal to 0.1, and the
length of elements equal to
0.1.

command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
