This PlugIT allows to create an hinge physical constraint on a specific axis.

Parameters | 
    |
1 | 
      Name of the physical object which the constraint will be applied.  | 
    
2 | 
      Name of the parent object which the constraint will be applied. If there is no object, then the world will be used as a reference for the constraint.  | 
    
3 | 
      Enables/Disables the collision between the two objects.  | 
    
4 | 
      Defines a method to define the constraint position. Depending on the child, the parent or a customized object.  | 
    
5 | 
      If the position is on a custom mode, then you can set the position from a scene object.  | 
    
6 | 
      X position of the constraint.  | 
    
7 | 
      Y position of the constraint.  | 
    
8 | 
      Z position of the constraint.  | 
    

Parameters | 
    |
9 | 
      Constraint direction on the X axis.  | 
    
10 | 
      Constraint direction on the Y axis.  | 
    
11 | 
      Constraint direction on the Z axis.  | 
    
12 | 
      If checked, the constraint will use an angle limit on the rotation axis. la contrainte utilisera une limite d'angle sur l'axe de rotation.  | 
    
13 | 
      Minimal angle rotation.  | 
    
14 | 
      Maximal angle rotation.  | 
    
15 | 
      Defines the necessary force on the constraint in order to break it. If the force is defined at 0.0 then the constraint can not be broken.  | 
    
16 | 
      If checked, then the constraint will be used as a motor.  | 
    
17 | 
      Rotation force applied on the moteur if enabled.  | 
    
18 | 
      Enables the PlugIT when the application starts.  | 
    
Action | 
    |
Enable | 
      Enables the constraint. | 
Disable | 
      Disables the constraint. | 
Set angle | 
      Forces the constraint to go to a defined and a fixed angle and then to enable the motor. The degree angle value is in the link parameter. | 
Set break force | 
      Sets the necessary force to break the constraint, the force value is in the link parameter. | 
Set limits | 
      Sets the maximum and minimum rotation angles of the constraint, both angles are in the link parameters. | 
Set torque | 
      Applies a rotation force to the constraint, the force value is in the link parameter. | 
Set motor | 
      Enables the motor and changes its rotation speed, the angle is set in degree per second in the link parameter. | 
Brake | 
      Applies a brake force to the motor. The force value is in the link parameter, 0 means a brake at 100%. | 
Release brake | 
      Disables the brake force if enabled. | 
Stop motor | 
      Disables the motor constraint if enabled. | 
Events | 
    |
Angle | 
      Sends the angle of the constraint.  | 
    
Force | 
      Sends the applied force over the constraint.  | 
    
Broken | 
      This event is sent when the constraint breaks.  | 
    
In max limit | 
      Triggered when the constraint returns under the maximum angle limit.  | 
    
In min limit | 
      Triggered when the constraint returns under the minimum angle limit.  | 
    
Omega | 
      Sends the angular velocity of the constraint.  | 
    
Out limits | 
      Triggered when the constraint goes outside the angle limits.  |
