lovr.physics.newDistanceJoint

Creates a new DistanceJoint.

joint = lovr.physics.newDistanceJoint(colliderA, colliderB, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
colliderA	Collider	The first collider to attach the Joint to.
colliderB	Collider	The second collider to attach the Joint to.
x1	number	The x position of the first anchor point, in world coordinates.
y1	number	The y position of the first anchor point, in world coordinates.
z1	number	The z position of the first anchor point, in world coordinates.
x2	number	The x position of the second anchor point, in world coordinates.
y2	number	The y position of the second anchor point, in world coordinates.
z2	number	The z position of the second anchor point, in world coordinates.

Returns

Name	Type	Description
joint	DistanceJoint	The new DistanceJoint.

Notes

A distance joint tries to keep the two colliders a fixed distance apart. The distance is determined by the initial distance between the anchor points. The joint allows for rotation on the anchor points.
