19.10.1 Damped Rotary Spring

spring = physics.DampedRotarySpring(a, b, restAngle,
                                stiffness, damping)

Parameter

Type

Description

a

in physics.Body

First Body

b

in physics.Body

Second Body

restAngle

in number

Relative angle in radians that the Bodies want to maintain

stiffness

in number

The spring constant

damping

in numbe

How soft to make the damping of the spring

spring

out physics.DampedRotarySpring

New DampedRotarySpring

Like a damped spring, but works in an angular fashion. restAngle is the relative angle in radians that the Bodies want to have, stiffness and damping work basically the same as on a damped spring.
