add grpcPlugin, it can work in GUI, SHARED_MEMORY_SERVER, DIRECT and other modes.
example script to start server from pybullet:
import pybullet as p
p.connect(p.GUI)
#if statically linked plugin
id = p.loadPlugin("grpcPlugin")
#dynamics loading the plugin
#id = p.loadPlugin("E:/develop/bullet3/bin/pybullet_grpcPlugin_vs2010_x64_debug.dll", postFix="_grpcPlugin")
#start the GRPC server at hostname, port
if (id>=0):
p.executePluginCommand(id, "localhost:1234")
Only in DIRECT mode, since there is no 'ping' you need to call to handle RCPs:
numRPC = 10
while (1):
p.executePluginCommand(id, intArgs=[numRPC])
pass events (keyboard, mouse, vr controllers etc) to the plugin, and clear them after the tick callback, so that it doesn't interfere with Python 'getEvents'
Add preTickPluginCallback/postTickPluginCallback
User pointer for b3PluginContext, to store objects (class/struct instances)
Pass ints and floats as optional argument for plugin executePluginCommand
