Details

Common

Here's a list of common properties for the joints. Note that not all of the joins support these properties.

  • Type: Defines the type of the joint. Available types are: revolute, prismatic, spring, rope, pulley, suspension, weld, friction and gear.
  • ParentAnchor: The position the parent object is joined at, defined in local parent's space.
  • ChildAnchor: The position the child object is joined at, defined in local child's space.
  • Collide: Defines if collision between parent and child object is allowed.
  • Rotation: Default rotation between parent and child bodies, in degrees. If none is provided, the current rotation difference between both bodies will be used.
  • MotorSpeed: Only used if MaxMotorTorque is also defined. In degrees / seconds.
  • MaxMotorTorque: Only used if MotorSpeed is also defined.

Revolute Joint

  • MinRotation: Only used if MaxRotation is also defined.
  • MaxRotation: Only used if MinRotation is also defined.

Prismatic joint

  • TranslationAxis: Should be normalized.
  • MinTranslation: In meters, only used if MaxTranslation is also defined.
  • MaxTranslation: In meters, only used if MinTranslation is also defined.

Spring Joint

  • Length: In meters. If not defined, the current distance between parent and child bodies will be used.
  • Frequency: In hertz.
  • Damping: Between 0 (min) and 1 (max)

Rope Joint

  • Length: In meters. If not defined, the current distance between parent and child bodies will be used.

Pulley Joint

  • ParentGroundAnchor
  • ChildGroundAnchor
  • ParentLength: In meters. If not defined, the current distance between parent and its ground anchor will be used;
  • MaxParentLength: In meters. If not defined ParentLength + LengthRatio * ChildLength will be used;
  • ChildLength: In meters. If not defined, the current distance between child and its ground anchor will be used;
  • MaxChildLength: In meters. If not defined ParentLength + LengthRatio * ChildLength will be used;
  • LengthRatio

Suspension Joint

  • TranslationAxis: Should be normalized;
  • MinTranslation: In meters; Only used if MaxTranslation is also defined;
  • MaxTranslation: In meters; Only used if MinTranslation is also defined;

Weld Joint

Does not have any properties except those defined in the summary.

Friction Joint

  • Collide = true|false: Allows collision between joint's parent and child bodies. Defaults to false;
  • MaxForce:
  • MaxTorque:

Gear Joint

  • ParentJoint: Should be a revolute or prismatic joint already existing on the parent.
  • ChildJoint: Should be a revolute or prismatic joint already existing on the child.
  • JointRatio
