ConfigurableJoint Inherits from Joint

The configurable joint is an extremely flexible joint giving you complete control over rotation and linear motion.

You can build all other joints with it and much more but it is also more complicated to setup. It gives you control over motors, drives and joint limits for each rotation axis and and linear degree of freedom.

Variables
secondaryAxis

The joint's secondary axis.

xMotion

Allow movement along the X axis to be Free, completely Locked, or Limited according to Linear Limit

yMotion

Allow movement along the Y axis to be Free, completely Locked, or Limited according to Linear Limit

zMotion

Allow movement along the Z axis to be Free, completely Locked, or Limited according to Linear Limit

angularXMotion

Allow rotation around the X axis to be Free, completely Locked, or Limited according to Low and High Angular XLimit

angularYMotion

Allow rotation around the Y axis to be Free, completely Locked, or Limited according to Angular YLimit

angularZMotion

Allow rotation around the Z axis to be Free, completely Locked, or Limited according to Angular ZLimit

linearLimit

Boundary defining movement restriction, based on distance from the joint's origin

lowAngularXLimit

Boundary defining lower rotation restriction, based on delta from original rotation

highAngularXLimit

Boundary defining upper rotation restriction, based on delta from original rotation.

angularYLimit

Boundary defining rotation restriction, based on delta from original rotation

angularZLimit

Boundary defining rotation restriction, based on delta from original rotation

targetPosition

The desired position that the joint should move into

targetVelocity

The desired velocity that the joint should move along

xDrive

Definition of how the joint's movement will behave along its local X axis

yDrive

Definition of how the joint's movement will behave along its local Y axis

zDrive

Definition of how the joint's movement will behave along its local Z axis

targetRotation

This is a Quaternion. It defines the desired rotation that the joint should rotate into.

targetAngularVelocity

This is a Vector3. It defines the desired angular velocity that the joint should rotate into.

rotationDriveMode

Control the object's rotation with either X & YZ or Slerp Drive by itself

angularXDrive

Definition of how the joint's rotation will behave around its local X axis. Only used if Rotation Drive Mode is Swing & Twist

angularYZDrive

Definition of how the joint's rotation will behave around its local Y and Z axes. Only used if Rotation Drive Mode is Swing & Twist

slerpDrive

Definition of how the joint's rotation will behave around all local axes. Only used if Rotation Drive Mode is Slerp Only

projectionMode

Properties to track to snap the object back to its constrained position when it drifts off too much

projectionDistance

Distance from the Connected Body that must be exceeded before the object snaps back to an acceptable position

projectionAngle

Difference in angle from the Connected Body that must be exceeded before the object snaps back to an acceptable position

configuredInWorldSpace

If enabled, all Target values will be calculated in world space instead of the object's local space

Inherited members

Inherited Functions
GetComponent

GetComponent.<T>

GetComponent

Returns the component with name type if the game object has one attached, null if it doesn't.

GetComponentInChildren

GetComponentInChildren.<T>

GetComponentsInChildren

Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children.

GetComponentsInChildren.<T>

GetComponents
