Regular API function

simSetObjectPosition / sim.setObjectPosition

Description Sets the position (x, y and z-coordinates) of an object. Dynamically simulated objects, together with their hierarchy tree, will be dynamically reset (this however does not apply to static shapes). See also sim.getObjectPosition and the section about positions, orientations and transformations
C/C++
synopsis
simInt simSetObjectPosition(simInt objectHandle,simInt relativeToObjectHandle,const simFloat* position)
C/C++
parameters
objectHandle: handle of the object. Can be combined with sim.handleflag_reljointbaseframe (see next argument)
relativeToObjectHandle: indicates relative to which reference frame the position is specified. Specify sim.handle_world to set the absolute position, sim.handle_parent to set the position relative to the object's parent, or an object handle relative to whose reference frame the position is specified. If this handle is the handle of a joint, then the position is applied relative to the joint's moving frame (unless objectHandle is combined with sim.handleflag_reljointbaseframe, in which case the position is applied relative to the joint's base frame).
position: coordinates of the object
