Entity Description

A physical constraint between two physically simulated objects. If one object is not specified then the respective end of the constraint will be anchored to the world.

Note.pngNote:Objects will rotate around their ends with this entity. If you don't want them to do that, use a different constraint.

Keyvalues

<target_source> The name that other entities refer to this entity by.
  • attachpoint
<> Attached object 2 point - At what coordinates its "blue blob" (attachment point?) is at.
  • angles
<> The orientation of this entity in the world. (Probably not used.)
  • attach1
<> Entity 1 - Entity that is anchored to the centerpoint of the phys_lengthconstraint.
  • attach2
<> Entity 2 - Entity that is anchored to the origin of the phys_lengthconstraint.
  • constraintsystem
<> Constraint System Manager - The name of a phys_constraintsystem that this constraint should be a part of. All constraints on a set of entities should be placed in the same system, or they will fight each other during simulation.
  • forcelimit
<> Force Limit to Break (lbs) - The amount of force an impact must apply to the constraint to break it. A way of calculating this is to set it to the mass of an object that would break this constraint if it were resting on the constrainted objects.
  • torquelimit
<> Torque Limit to Break (lbs * distance)? - The amount of torque required to break the constraint. A way of calculating this is to multiply any reference mass by the resting distance (from the center of mass of the object) needed to break the constraint.
  • breaksound
Play Sound on Break - A sound played when the constraint is broken.
  • addlength
<> Additional Length - Add (or subtract) this amount to the rest length of the rope.
  • minlength
<> Minimum Length - If the constraint is not rigid, this is the minimum length it can be.

Flags

  • 1 : No Collision until break (Default: Checked)
  • 2 : Keep Rigid (Default: Unchecked)

Inputs

  • AddOutput
  • Break
  • FireUser1-4
  • Kill
  • KillHierarchy
  • TurnOff
  • TurnOn

Outputs

  • OnUser1-4
Fired in response to FireUser1-4 inputs. See User Inputs and Outputs.
  • OnBreak
Fired when this breakable breaks.
