SpringJoint Inherits from Joint

The spring joint ties together 2 rigid bodies, spring forces will be automatically applied to keep the object at the given distance.

The Spring attempts to maintain the distance it has when it starts out. So if your joint's start at a rest position where the two rigidbodies are far apart, then the joint will attempt to maintain that distance. The minDistance and maxDistance properties add on top of this implicit distance.

Variables

spring	The spring force used to keep the two objects together
damper	The damper force used to dampen the spring force
minDistance	The minimum distance between the bodies relative to their initial distance
maxDistance	The maximum distance between the bodies relative to their initial distance

Inherited Functions

GetComponent	Returns the component of Type type if the game object has one attached, null if it doesn't.
GetComponentInChildren	Returns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children using depth first search.
GetComponentsInChildren	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children.
GetComponents	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject.
CompareTag	Is this game object tagged tag?
SendMessageUpwards	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour
SendMessage	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object.
BroadcastMessage	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children.
GetInstanceID	Returns the instance id of the object.
ToString	Returns the name of the game object.

Inherited Messages Sent

OnJointBreak

Called when a joint attached to the same game object broke.

Inherited Class Functions

operator bool	Does the object exist?
Instantiate	Clones the object original and returns the clone.
Destroy	Removes a gameobject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediate	Destroys the object obj immediately. It is strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
FindObjectsOfType	Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type.
FindObjectOfType	Returns the first active loaded object of Type type.
operator ==	Compares if two objects refer to the same
operator !=	Compares if two objects refer to a different object
DontDestroyOnLoad	Makes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene.
