Description

A joint to constrain a pair of bodies together rigidly. This constraint provides springs to mimic soft-body simulation. The approximate solver cannot always hold many bodies together completely rigidly.

Properties

Property	Description
angularDamping	Angular damping, non-dimensional. Use 1 for critical damping.
angularFrequency	Angular stiffness in cycles per second. Use zero for maximum stiffness.
bodyA	The second body the joint constrains.
bodyB	A local anchor point on the first body for the constraint.
callbackTarget	Get/Set the System.Object that event callbacks for this joint will be sent to. Care should be taken with any System.Object assigned as a callback target that isn't a UnityEngine.Object as this assignment will not in itself keep the object alive and can be garbage collected. To avoid this, you should have at least a single reference to the object in your code. This includes the following events: - A JointThresholdEvent with call IJointThresholdCallback.
collideConnected	Whether the shapes on the pair of bodies can come into contact.
currentAngularSeparationError	Get the current angular separation error for this joint, in degrees. This does not consider admissible movement.
currentConstraintForce	Get the current constraint force used by the joint, usually in newtons.
currentConstraintTorque	Get the current constraint torque used by the joint, usually in newtons.
currentLinearSeparationError	Get the current linear separation error for this joint, usually in meters. This does not consider admissible movement.
drawScale	Controls the scaling of the joint drawing.
forceThreshold	The force threshold beyond which a joint event will be produced.
isOwned	Get if the joint is owned. See PhysicsJoint.SetOwner.
isValid	Checks if the joint is valid.
jointType	Gets the joint type. See JointType.
linearDamping	Linear damping, non-dimensional. Use 1 for critical damping.
linearFrequency	Linear stiffness in cycles per second. Use zero for maximum stiffness.
localAnchorA	The local anchor frame constraint relative to bodyA's origin.
localAnchorB	The local anchor frame constraint relative to bodyB's origin.
torqueThreshold	The torque threshold beyond which a joint event will be produced.
tuningDamping	Controls the joint stiffness damping, non-dimensional. Use 1 for critical damping.
tuningFrequency	Controls the joint stiffness frequency, in cycles per second.
userData	Get/Set PhysicsUserData that can be used for any purpose. The physics system doesn't use this data, it is entirely for custom use.
world	Get the world the body is attached to.

Constructors

Constructor	Description
PhysicsFixedJoint	Create a PhysicsFixedJoint from the specified base joint. The provided joint must be a joint type of PhysicsJoint.JointType.FixedJoint.

Public Methods

Method	Description
Destroy	Destroy the joint. If the object is owned with PhysicsJoint.SetOwner then you must provide the owner key it returned. Failing to do so will return a warning and the joint will not be destroyed.
Draw	Draw a PhysicsJoint that visually represents its current state in the world. This is only used in the Unity Editor or in a Development Player. See LowLevelPhysics2D.PhysicsWorld.DrawResults, PhysicsWorld.drawOptions and LowLevelPhysics2D.PhysicsWorld.drawResults.
GetOwner	Get the owner object associated with this joint as specified using PhysicsJoint.SetOwner.
SetOwner	Set the (optional) owner object associated with this joint and return an owner key that must be specified when destroying the joint with PhysicsJoint.Destroy. The physics system provides access to all objects, including the ability to destroy them so this feature can be used to stop accidental destruction of objects that are owned by other objects. You can only set the owner once, multiple attempts will produce a warning. The lifetime of the specified owner object is not linked to this joint i.e. this joint will still be owned by the owner object, even if it is destroyed. It is also valid to not specify an owner object (NULL) to simply gain an owner key however it can be useful, if simply for debugging purposes and discovery, to know which object is the owner.
WakeBodies	Wake the pair of bodies the joint is constraining.

Static Methods

Method	Description
Create	Create a PhysicsFixedJoint in the specified world.
DestroyBatch	Destroy a batch of joints. Owned joints will produce a warning and will not be destroyed (see PhysicsJoint.SetOwner). Any invalid joints will be ignored.

Operators

Operator	Description
PhysicsFixedJoint	Cast to a PhysicsFixedJoint from the base PhysicsJoint. The provided joint must be a joint type of PhysicsJoint.JointType.FixedJoint.
PhysicsJoint	Cast to the base PhysicsJoint.
