Description

A RodConstraint keeps two attachments separated by its defined Length. By default, both attachments can rotate freely, although you can enable limits to restrict rotational tilt.

Note that if this constraint attaches one part (A) to another part (B) that is anchored or connected to an anchored part (Z), part A will not be locally simulated when interacting with a player.

Limits

You can limit rotation of the attachments within a cone, independently of each other, by enabling the LimitsEnabled property and setting LimitAngle0 and LimitAngle1 respectively.

CurrentDistance

TypeDefault
float0

The current distance between the constraint's Attachments.

This property is not replicated. Its interface does not cross the network boundary.
This property is read-only. Its value can be read, but it cannot be modified.
