Brief

The Ball Socket tool is similar to axis, but the object may rotate in any direction as long as the two joined props remain in the same distance.

Instructions

  1. Fire at any point on any object.
  2. Fire at any point on any other object.

The two objects are now attached with an invisible ball-and-socket joint. This is like a weld in that the objects keep their distance relative to each other, but they are free to rotate in all directions around the ballsocket point.

Variables

Force Limit
The amount of force (in pounds) that it takes to break the ball-and-socket joint.
Torque Limit
This is sets how resistant the rotation engine should be.
No Collide
If selected, objects that are ballsocketed will pass freely through each other.
