Phys slideconstraint

Entity Description

A constraint that constrains an entity along a line segment. Tutorial how to to use here: [[1]]

Keyvalues

• TwoObjectPhysics:

Entity 1 (attach1) <targetname>

Entity 2 (attach2) <targetname>

The entities to constrain. Leave one or the other field blank to constrain to the world.

Note:Only one entity will be constrained, even if several share the given targetname.

Constraint System Manager (constraintsystem) <targetname>

A phys_constraintsystem that this constraint should be a part of. This avoids the "jiggling" caused by constraints applied to the same set of entities fighting with each other.

Force Limit to Break (forcelimit) <float>

Impact force required to break the constraint, in pounds. 0 means infinite. A way of calculating this is to set it to the weight of an object that would break the constraint if it were resting on its objects.

Torque Limit to Break (torquelimit) <float>

Torque required to break the constraint, in pounds*inches. 0 means infinite. 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.

Play Sound on Break (breaksound) <string>

A sound played when the constraint is broken.

Follow teleport distance (teleportfollowdistance) <float>

If one constrained object teleports more than this many units away, the other will teleport with it.

• slideaxis

<vecline> Can be set with the Hammer helper tool.

• slidefriction

<float> Resistance/friction in the constraint

• SystemLoadScale

<float> Scale of the mass load connected to this constraint (1=just the objects directly connected)

Flags

No Collision until break : [1]

Start inactive : [4]

Change mass to keep stable attachment to world : [8]

Do not connect entities until turned on : [16]

• Template:Fl TwoObjectPhysics2

Inputs

• TwoObjectPhysics:

Break

Force the constraint to break.

TurnOn

Enable the constraint; do this if the constrained objects don't exist when it spawns. Note that broken constraints cannot be turned back on as they have been deleted.

TurnOff

Disable the constraint.

• SetVelocity <float>

Set linear velocity along the constraint

Outputs

• TwoObjectPhysics:

OnBreak

Fired when the constraint breaks.
