Joint:getTorque

Edit

Returns the magnitude of the torque used to satisfy the Joint's constraint during the last physics update, in newton meters.

This is useful for breakable joints. Use Joint:destroy to break the joint if its torque goes above a threshold.

torque = Joint:getTorque()

Arguments

None

Returns

NameTypeDescription
torquenumber The magnitude of the torque used to satisfy the Joint's constraint.

Notes

This does not include the motor force of a HingeJoint, see HingeJoint:getMotorForce.
