Using springs in custom setups, is it approproate and how to?

[DankP3]

I was wondering about adding opsive springs to a custom script on a custom object and using them to maintain that objects local position and apply forces to it. Is this reasonable and would there be particular requirements/advice to the setup?

Hi dank, do you have Ultimate Seating Controller, there's a perfect example in there.

 

[DankP3]

No, I am afraid not. Thanks

Ok, I am not at pc at the moment, but by memory I did.. Spring spring = new Spring(); then in start spring.Initialize(). That's the core, I have also added on on add force and a interval tick force timer for other purpose. But I'm sure you'll figure what what you need.

Thx, I added springs and initialised, but failed to add force (it seemed to do nothing). I'll just dig deeper and look through demo examples to see what I am missing.

Just dm'd you the script.

Thanks @FastSkillTeam

Yeah, the Springs class is a generic class so you can definitely use it in non-Opsive scripts.
