ForcePivotConstraint

ForcePivotConstraint is a Constraint that limits the motion of a particle to a certain length away from a point in space. The implementation of this constraint is force-based like that of ForceDistanceConstraint.

Constructor

new ForcePivotConstraint(pos, c1, len, stiffness, breakForce, dampening)

Instantiates new ForcePivotConstraint

Parameters:
NameTypeDefaultDescription
posVector2D

position of pivot

c1Particle

constrained particle

lenNumber

constrained length

stiffnessNumber

the "spring constant", higher values are more stiff

breakForceNumber

force at which the constraint breaks

dampeningNumber0

damping force on constraint, must be greater than 0
