Entity Description

A constraint that fixes the position of two entities, relative to this constraint's origin. Also allows for limits on the rotation around each axis, in the space of this constraint.

Keyvalues

Entity 1
  • attach2 <target_destination>
Entity 2
  • constraintsystem <target_destination>
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 <float>
The amount of force an impact must apply to the constraint to break it. Measured in pounds. 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 <float>
The amount of torque required to break the constraint. Measured in pounds*distance (pounds*inches). 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 <sound>
A sound played when the constraint is broken.
  • xmin <float>
X axis min limit. -180 min and 180 max = no constraint on this axis.
  • xmax <float>
X axis max limit. -180 min and 180 max = no constraint on this axis.
  • ymin <float>
Y axis min limit. -180 min and 180 max = no constraint on this axis.
  • ymax <float>
Y axis max limit. -180 min and 180 max = no constraint on this axis.
  • zmin <float>
Z axis min limit. -180 min and 180 max = no constraint on this axis.
  • zmax <float>
Z axis max limit. -180 min and 180 max = no constraint on this axis.
  • xfriction <float>
X axis friction
  • yfriction <float>
Y axis friction
  • zfriction <float>
Z axis friction

Flags

  • 1: No Collision until break
  • 2: Only limit rotation (free movement)
  • 4: Start inactive
  • 8: Change mass to keep stable attachment to world

Inputs

Force the constraint to break.
  • TurnOn
Enable the constraint. Do this when the objects don't exist when the constraint spawns, or when you have deactivated the constraint. Broken constraints can not be turned on. They have been deleted.
  • TurnOff
Disable this constraint.

Outputs

Fired when the constraint breaks.
