Hi,
these constraints make no sens at all, are counter intuitive and never work the way I expect them to
how can I force an object to rotate on one axis only ?
why is it when I try to limit swing 1 & 2 in a particular angle, it does not work at all
why when I use Swing 1 or Twist, it just does exactly the same thing
where are the other constraints ? like hinge ?
thanks
To force object to rotate in one axis only, just leave one axis limited or free, lock the rest.
Let’s say you have a door on a hinge and it should sit at 15 degrees in relation to a wall. To do this, you have to turn constraint itself to face 15 degrees direction.
The other option is to enable drives/motors and set target direction there, but this is a different functionality - motors will actively produce force to keep constrained objects in specific positions.
Twist1, Twist 2 and Swing correspond to Roll, Yaw and Pitch (not specifically in this order). You can see in which axis constrain will work in editor - constraint root will have circles showing the arc of rotation.
Here is PhysX documentation on a subject:

6D constrain (joint) can be used to create any other type of constrain.
nice, thanks Ill check these up
As of UE4 4.25.3 :
Twist : X axis
Swing1 : Z Axis
Swing2 : Y axis
I believe they should name them x,y and z for easier manipulation.
