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.| angle | The current angle in degrees of the joint relative to its rest position. (Read Only) |
| limits | Limit of angular rotation on the hinge joint. |
| motor | The motor will apply a force up to a maximum force to achieve the target velocity in degrees per second. |
| spring | The spring attempts to reach a target angle by adding spring and damping forces. |
| useLimits | Enables the joint's limits. |
| useMotor | Enables the joint's motor. |
| useSpring | Enables the joint's spring. |
| velocity | The angular velocity of the joint in degrees per second. |
