Definition

  • Type: Enum
  • Namespace: UnityEngine
  • Assembly: UnityEngine.PhysicsModule
public enum RigidbodyConstraints

Remarks

Additional Resources: Rigidbody.constraints. This enables you to freeze positions and rotations on all axes.

Examples

//This example shows how RigidbodyConstraints is used to freeze the position and rotation of a Rigidbody in the z axis at start-up.//It also shows what happens when these constraints are removed, when you press the space key//Attach this to a GameObject with a Rigidbody to see it in actionusing UnityEngine;public class RigidBodyConstraitsExample : MonoBehaviour{ Rigidbody m_Rigidbody; Vector3 m_ZAxis; void Start() { m_Rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>(); //This locks the RigidBody so that it does not move or rotate in the z axis (can be seen in Inspector). m_Rigidbody.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezePositionZ | RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeRotationZ; //Set up vector for moving the Rigidbody in the z axis m_ZAxis = new Vector3(0, 0, 5); } void Update() { //Press space to remove the constraints on the RigidBody if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) { //Remove all constraints m_Rigidbody.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.None; } //Press the right arrow key to move positively in the z axis if the constraints are removed if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow)) { //If the constraints are removed, the Rigidbody moves along the z axis //If the constraints are there, no movement occurs m_Rigidbody.velocity = m_ZAxis; } //Press the left arrow key to move negatively in the z axis if the constraints are removed if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow)) { m_Rigidbody.velocity = -m_ZAxis; } }}
