phys_constraint
is a point entity available in all Source 2 games.

- The {{{engine}}} parameter is inconsistent with the name defined by the {{source2}} template. This can most likely be fixed by setting the value of the {{{engine}}} parameter to Source 2.
If a parameter is consistent but you're still seeing this warning, it may be an issue with the template itself. Please discuss it on the template's talk page.
It constrains an entity to the world or another entity at a fixed relative position.
Keyvalues
- Linear Frequency (linearfrequency) <float>
- Linear spring frequency (stiffness).
- Linear Damping Ratio (lineardampingratio) <float>
- Linear spring damping ratio.
- Angular Frequency (angularfrequency) <float>
- Angular spring frequency (stiffness).
- Angular Damping Ratio (angulardampingratio) <float>
- Angular spring damping ratio.
- Enable Linear Constraint (enablelinearconstraint) <boolean>
- Enable Angular Constraint (enableangularconstraint) <boolean>
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.
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]
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.
Base:
- RunScriptFile
- Load and execute a script file.
- RunScriptCode
- Execute a fragment of script code.
- CallScriptFunction
- Call a script function.
- CallPrivateScriptFunction
- Calls a script function from this entity's private script scope.
- CallGlobalScriptFunction
- Calls a script function in the global script scope.
- Kill
- Removes this entity from the world.
- KillHierarchy
- Removes this entity and all its children from the world.
- AddOutput
- Adds an entity I/O connection to this entity. Parameter format: OutputName→TargetName→InputName→Parameter→Delay→MaxRefires
- FireUser1 to FireUser4
- Fires the respective
OnUser
outputs; see User Inputs and Outputs.
Outputs
TwoObjectPhysics:
- OnBreak
- Fired when the constraint breaks.
