A modification that jiggles bones as they move towards a target.

Description

This modification moves a series of bones, typically called a bone chain, towards a target. What makes this modification special is that it calculates the velocity and acceleration for each bone in the bone chain, and runs a very light physics-like calculation using the inputted values. This allows the bones to overshoot the target and "jiggle" around. It can be configured to act more like a spring, or sway around like cloth might.

This modification is useful for adding additional motion to things like hair, the edges of clothing, and more. It has several settings to that allow control over how the joint moves when the target moves.

Note: The Jiggle modifier has jiggle_joints, which are the data objects that hold the data for each joint in the Jiggle chain. This is different from a bone! Jiggle joints hold the data needed for each bone in the bone chain used by the Jiggle modification.

Property Descriptions

• float damping

Default	0.75
Setter	set_damping(value)
Getter	get_damping()

The default amount of dampening applied to the Jiggle joints, if they are not overridden. Higher values lead to more of the calculated velocity being applied.

---

• Vector3 gravity

Default	Vector3(0, -6, 0)
Setter	set_gravity(value)
Getter	get_gravity()

The default amount of gravity applied to the Jiggle joints, if they are not overridden.

---

• int jiggle_data_chain_length

Default	0
Setter	set_jiggle_data_chain_length(value)
Getter	get_jiggle_data_chain_length()

The amount of Jiggle joints in the Jiggle modification.

---

• float mass

Default	0.75
Setter	set_mass(value)
Getter	get_mass()

The default amount of mass assigned to the Jiggle joints, if they are not overridden. Higher values lead to faster movements and more overshooting.

---

• float stiffness

Default	3.0
Setter	set_stiffness(value)
Getter	get_stiffness()

The default amount of stiffness assigned to the Jiggle joints, if they are not overridden. Higher values act more like springs, quickly moving into the correct position.

---

• NodePath target_nodepath

Default	NodePath("")
Setter	set_target_node(value)
Getter	get_target_node()

The NodePath to the node that is the target for the Jiggle modification. This node is what the Jiggle chain will attempt to rotate the bone chain to.

---

• bool use_gravity

Default	false
Setter	set_use_gravity(value)
Getter	get_use_gravity()

Whether the gravity vector, gravity, should be applied to the Jiggle joints, assuming they are not overriding the default settings.

Method Descriptions
