Answer 1

There are a number of classes derived from Joint3D you can look into:

Inherited By: ConeTwistJoint3D, Generic6DOFJoint3D, HingeJoint3D, PinJoint3D, SliderJoint3D

There are probably tutorials out there on using some of these, but I haven't watched any yet.

I am using joint in my current game, look at this discussion I had when I figure this out : https://mcmap.net/q/225/godot-how-to-make-this-body

Answer 3

Im using a pinjoint2d in 4.2b right now, but it is still quite buggy and unpredictable. sad there isnt a fixedjoint2d. is there a way to attach it to 2 pinjoints at the same time to stick it down?

Answer 4

If you're up for it, you might be interested in this Box2D plugin for Godot. It adds a Weld Joint which might do what you need.

Another option is to use _integrate_forces and code the magnetic behavior yourself.
