Roblox Physics

When to Load

Use this skill when building physics-driven gameplay: vehicles, ragdolls, projectiles, mechanical contraptions, elevators, swinging platforms, or anything using constraints and forces.

Quick Reference

Constraint Types

Mechanical: HingeConstraint, PrismaticConstraint, CylindricalConstraint, BallSocketConstraint, UniversalConstraint, WeldConstraint/RigidConstraint Motion: AlignPosition, AlignOrientation, LinearVelocity, AngularVelocity, VectorForce, Torque Spring/Rope: SpringConstraint, RopeConstraint, RodConstraint

Attachment Pattern

Constraints connect via Attachment objects. Create one on each part, set Attachment0/Attachment1, and parent the constraint to part0. Actuator types include None, Motor, and Servo.

Vehicles

Vehicles: use motorized HingeConstraint wheels, SpringConstraint suspension, servo steering, and CustomPhysicalProperties for friction tuning.
