Script to limit the rotation of a hinge?

[Holcomb]

I know you can limit the rotation using shapes to physically stop the rotation, but I want to know if there is a script to do it. I would like to rotate a wheel a set amount of degrees clockwise and counterclockwise. I've looked for a while and can't find anything.

set angvel = 0, or something like that.
I don't quite remember but;

Put this code in a laser or something in the onlaserhit script box.

Code: Select all

e.other.angvel = 0

or

Code: Select all

e.geom.angvel = 0

Thanks I'll try it out. I'm just hoping it wont set the rotation limit to the individual shape. I'd rather have the hinge limit the rotation so the entire object can still rotate freely.

not that easy
I've try to use script similar to my ratchet, it's not so effective. Hinge still moving ...
