Declaration

public void AddTorque(Vector3 torque, ForceMode mode = ForceMode.Force);

Parameters

torque The torque to apply.
mode The type of torque to apply.

Description

Add torque to the articulation body.

You can only apply a torque to an active ArticulationBody. If a GameObject is inactive, AddTorque has no effect.

ForceMode.Force and ForceMode.Acceleration modes modify the Angular Velocity Per Second accumulator and ForceMode.Impulse and ForceMode.VelocityChange modify the Angular Velocity Per Step accumulator. Mixing these 2 groups of ForceModes doesn't work for Articulation Bodies and will result in only the Angular Velocity Per Second accumulator being applied.

For more information on how ForceMode affects angular velocity, see Rigidbody.AddTorque.

Applying a torque to an ArticulationBody wakes up that body. If the torque size is zero then the ArticulationBody does not wake up.
Unit of measurement - Nm (Newtonmeters).
