HingeJoint Inherits from Joint

The HingeJoint groups together 2 rigid bodies, constraining them to move like connected by a hinge.

This joint is great for, well, doors, but can also be used to model chains, etc...

The HingeJoint has a motor which can be used to make the hinge spin around the joints axis. A spring which attempts to reach for a target angle by spinning around the joints axis. And a limit which constrains the joint angle.

Variables
motor

The motor will apply a force up to a maximum force to achieve the target velocity in degrees per second.

limits

The limits of the hinge joint.

spring

The spring attempts to reach a target angle by adding spring and damping forces.

useMotor

Enables the joint's motor.

useLimits

Enables the joint's limits.

useSpring

Enables the joint's spring.

velocity

The angular velocity of the joint in degrees per second.

angle

The current angle in degrees of the joint relative to its rest position. (Read Only)
