Arm Limits in Unity Builder

[hasty basin]

Ive been trying to use the arm limit tool in my arms but I have been having problems measuring the degrees. Can anyone direct me to how correctly use arm limits.

Im mainly trying to have a set point take the "long way" so it doesn't collide with a piece of the robot im making. Also how do I read the appropriate angles, is the red that I can use within the hinge limits?

thats the funny part...... you dont

it a feature that works but is beyond touchy

[hasty basin]

would you say its just broken? like wait til new update or is there a way to do it

[edgy kindle]

it works you just might have to flip the upper and lower or change values

[hasty basin]

yeah ive been doing that to little success. does it not work with angles more then a semi circle?

[edgy kindle]

uh. I dont know. I have only ever used it the way i did in the examples and documentation. Its likley possible a lot of unitys math funcitons are broken in full 360

I guess ill see what I can do if there is no easy way to fix it. thanks for the help though ill try to relook at the documentation

do you have time to hop in a call and answer some other questions I got?

[edgy kindle]

not at this moment but I can answer questions in here

alright cool

so another question on arms

how do you stabilze realistcally

shorterning them and messing with weight makes them stay at their setpoints but how would you reccomend keeping them at their setpoints by still increasing weight

[edgy kindle]

you do unfortunately sometimes have to work around unity. normally a floppy arm means its not scaled properly. or it is not capable of being that heavy.

okay, makes sense
what does motor and spring do? or what are they intended to do
