A constraint system with spring behavior

📦 Add to VRChat Creator Companion

How it works

• The constraint is weighted between 3 sources to achieve a spring-like effect.

Install Guide

• Drag & drop the Spring 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 Spring Target
• Move Spring Target outside of Spring 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 your objects inside Spring Constraints -> Container.
  • Alternatively you can constrain the objects to Container.
• To change the characteristics of the spring, change the position constraint values on the Motion object:
  • Sources > Spring Target (default 1.1) controls the strength of the spring. Higher values make it harder to stretch the spring. Min: 1, Max: 2
  • Sources > Motion (default 4) dampens acceleration, the higher the value the slower Container accelerates.
