HingeJoint3D

Inherits: Joint3D < Node3D < Node < Object

A physics joint that restricts the rotation of a 3D physics body around an axis relative to another physics body.

Description

A physics joint that restricts the rotation of a 3D physics body around an axis relative to another physics body. For example, Body A can be a StaticBody3D representing a door hinge that a RigidBody3D rotates around.

Enumerations

enum Param:

Param PARAM_BIAS = 0

The speed with which the two bodies get pulled together when they move in different directions.

Param PARAM_LIMIT_UPPER = 1

The maximum rotation. Only active if angular_limit/enable is true.

Param PARAM_LIMIT_LOWER = 2

The minimum rotation. Only active if angular_limit/enable is true.

Param PARAM_LIMIT_BIAS = 3

The speed with which the rotation across the axis perpendicular to the hinge gets corrected.

Param PARAM_LIMIT_SOFTNESS = 4

There is currently no description for this enum. Please help us by contributing one!

Param PARAM_LIMIT_RELAXATION = 5

The lower this value, the more the rotation gets slowed down.

Param PARAM_MOTOR_TARGET_VELOCITY = 6

Target speed for the motor.

Param PARAM_MOTOR_MAX_IMPULSE = 7

Maximum acceleration for the motor.

Param PARAM_MAX = 8

Represents the size of the Param enum.


enum Flag:

Flag FLAG_USE_LIMIT = 0

If true, the hinges maximum and minimum rotation, defined by angular_limit/lower and angular_limit/upper has effects.

Flag FLAG_ENABLE_MOTOR = 1

When activated, a motor turns the hinge.

Flag FLAG_MAX = 2

Represents the size of the Flag enum.
