Damping Constraints

Constraints with adjustable damping effects

📦 Add to VRChat Creator Companion

How it works

• The constraint targets itself at full weight and another source at a weight lower than one.
• This causes a feedback loop where every frame the constraint moves a relative distance towards the target, creating a damping effect.

Position Damping Constraint

• Drag & Drop the Position Damping Constraint prefab into the base of your Hierarchy.
• Right click and unpack the prefab, then drag & drop it onto your avatar.
• Expand the prefab hierarchy and find Position Target.
• Move Position Target outside of Position Damping Constraint and place it anywhere in your avatars hierarchy as needed.

Rotation Damping Constraint

• Drag & Drop the Rotation Damping Constraint prefab into the base of your Hierarchy.
• Right click and unpack the prefab, then drag & drop it onto your avatar.
• Expand the prefab hierarchy and find Rotation Target.
• Move Rotation Target outside of Rotation Damping Constraint and place it anywhere in your avatars hierarchy as needed.

[!NOTE]
When building for Quest, you will have to remove unsupported components and shaders

How to use

• Place the objects you want to dampen inside Container.
  • Alternatively you can constrain the objects to Container.
• Changing the weight of the second source in the constraint will change the strength of the damping effect.
