you know combining simpler joints gives the same power but less annoying weirdness with 200 exposed fields giving different options.. i think unity should strip down the joints and allow users to combine functionalities

Thank you

@DitzelGames, Hi there I may be couple years too late but @2:05 you never mentioned that you need to press play to move the fixed joint. Otherwise they don't move together, my question is can you move those joints when NOT pressing play? In other words during the regular scene? Thx in advance.

elmer fudd?

Hi, did you manage to solve this? I'm facing the sam problem :)

There is a big problem in your idea. The player is going to grab things, that means he is responsible for the interaction script. Here is the solution: The player needs a fixed Joint in order for this to work. FixedJoint fixedJoint = GetComponent(); fixedJoint.connectedBody = new Rigidbody(); //replace new Rigidbody() with the target rigidbody. This is just for the logic of setting the Rigidbody of a joint. You still need to find the Rigidbody somehow? If you need more information, I'm going to reply in this thread.

Yes, I will consider this.

You are the man. Next time I am paid, I am going to become a patreon on your site because for one, your tutorials are amazing, and two, at least you reply to people, nice. Thanks, Paul

if (!GetComponent().connectedBody) { GetComponent().connectedBody = GetComponentInParent(); }

You can add more than one joint to a rigidbody to archive this.

@@DitzelGames i tried to link a tank track with all types of joints but nithing Happens

Spring

hahaha . thank you dude , i was so exicted ... and not see it .. you solved me a lot of hours

The break and torque value?

HEY NO FAIR!!!

You should use Unity's learn website. It has a lot of different tutorials as well as a lot of documentation about different aspects of unity too. unity.com/learn

Sounds good!

what are u using that for?

picking up objects like in Portal. I made it using rigid body already. I can share if you want

@@user-vf7xv9xy9n that would be great

// Follow after player hands public IEnumerator Follow(Transform playerHands) { while (held) { FollowPosition(playerHands); FollowRotation(playerHands); yield return null; } } // Follow player hands rotation private void FollowRotation(Transform playerHands) { // Rotating Vector3 desiredRotation = playerHands.eulerAngles; float xAngle = Vector3.SignedAngle(transform.up, playerHands.up, Vector3.right) / 90; float yAngle = Vector3.SignedAngle(transform.forward, playerHands.forward, Vector3.up) / 90; float zAngle = Vector3.SignedAngle(transform.up, playerHands.up, Vector3.forward) / 90; Vector3 direction = new Vector3(xAngle, yAngle, zAngle); rigidbody.angularVelocity += (direction * rotationForce) / rigidbody.mass; // Damping float dampingValue = 1 - (1 / (Mathf.Abs(yAngle) * rotationDamping + 1)); float lookUpAngle = Vector3.Angle(playerHands.forward, Vector3.up) / 90; rigidbody.angularVelocity *= dampingValue * lookUpAngle; } // Follow player hand position private void FollowPosition(Transform playerHands) { // Moving Vector3 desiredPosition = playerHands.position; float distance = Vector3.Distance(desiredPosition, rigidbody.position); Vector3 direction = (desiredPosition - rigidbody.position).normalized; rigidbody.velocity += (direction * distance * movingForce) / rigidbody.mass; // Damping float dampingValue = 1 - (1 / (distance * movingDamping + 1)); rigidbody.velocity *= dampingValue; }

@@abuUthmani That's not some professional programming here. But it works. It would be better if I used Quaternions for rotation, but I didn't learn them so I used my own method.

I think I explained every detail of it - Like everyone else! Do you miss anything?

DitzelGames well that is the problem all videos are 100% the same. If i watch one i have seen them all. I wanted som1 to explore implementing in a practical sense but nobody does this. Everyone just does the same demo video...

because they're showcasing the same exact thing...

​@@anthonyder3685: See my rope physics video. There I used it to create a rope kzfaq.info?o=U&video_id=Cecp4a7FsTU I think there are so many videos out there that shows how to use it in a practical sense. They are simply not just labeled "Spring Joint in a practical use case"

@@DitzelGames thats the youtube studio edit link FYI
