SpringJoint

Description

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

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

tag	The tag of this game object.
transform	The Transform attached to this GameObject (null if there is none attached).
anchor	The Position of the anchor around which the joints motion is constrained.
axis	The Direction of the axis around which the body is constrained.
breakForce	The force that needs to be applied for this joint to break.
breakTorque	The torque that needs to be applied for this joint to break.
connectedBody	A reference to another rigidbody this joint connects to.
hideFlags	Should the object be hidden, saved with the scene or modifiable by the user?
name	The name of the object.

Functions

BroadcastMessage	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children.
CompareTag	Is this game object tagged with tag?
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.
GetComponents	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject.
GetComponentsInChildren	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children.
SendMessage	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object.
SendMessageUpwards	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour.
GetInstanceID	Returns the instance id of the object.
ToString	Returns the name of the game object.

Static Functions

Destroy	Removes a gameobject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediate	Destroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
DontDestroyOnLoad	Makes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene.
FindObjectOfType	Returns the first active loaded object of Type type.
FindObjectsOfType	Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type.
Instantiate	Clones the object original and returns the clone.

Operators

bool	Does the object exist?
operator !=	Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==	Compares if two objects refer to the same.
