Description

Joint that keeps two Rigidbody2D objects a fixed distance apart.

Note that unlike the SpringJoint2D component, the distance separating the objects is truly fixed and does not allow for any stretching.

See Also: HingeJoint2D class, SliderJoint2D class, SpringJoint2D class.

Variables

autoConfigureDistanceShould the distance be calculated automatically?
distanceThe distance separating the two ends of the joint.
maxDistanceOnlyWhether to maintain a maximum distance only or not. If not then the absolute distance will be maintained instead.

Inherited members

Variables

anchorThe joint's anchor point on the object that has the joint component.
autoConfigureConnectedAnchorShould the connectedAnchor be calculated automatically?
connectedAnchorThe joint's anchor point on the second object (ie, the one which doesn't have the joint component).
enabledEnabled Behaviours are Updated, disabled Behaviours are not.
isActiveAndEnabledHas the Behaviour had enabled called.
gameObjectThe game object this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a game object.
tagThe tag of this game object.
transformThe Transform attached to this GameObject (null if there is none attached).
breakForceThe force that needs to be applied for this joint to break.
breakTorqueThe torque that needs to be applied for this joint to break.
connectedBodyThe Rigidbody2D object to which the other end of the joint is attached (ie, the object without the joint component).
enableCollisionShould the two rigid bodies connected with this joint collide with each other?
reactionForceGets the reaction force of the joint.
reactionTorqueGets the reaction torque of the joint.
hideFlagsShould the object be hidden, saved with the scene or modifiable by the user?
nameThe name of the object.

Operators

boolDoes the object exist?
operator !=Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object.

Messages

OnJointBreak2DCalled when a Joint2D attached to the same game object breaks.
