Hinges

Hinges are devices used for creating turning, sliding and opening mechanisms such as doors, hatches and sliding doors.
Basic information
Hinges are most frequently interacted with via a button or YOLOL script, but can also be interacted with directly via the universal tool. They are not especially strong, and cannot be used to mount thrusters to a ship; nor do any of them have provisions to transfer power or propellant beyond the joint itself.

Device fields
YOLOL field | Description | Range |
---|---|---|
DoorOpenState | Input field for requested door state. 0 is closed, 1 is fully open. | [0,1] |
DoorCurrentState | Reports the current position of the door, on the same scale as DoorOpenState | [0,1] |
EndAngle / EndPosition | The rotation/position the joint should be at when DoorOpenState is 1. Is measured in percents(%) relative to the maximum possible open state for prismatic joints, and degrees in hinge joints. | |
StartAngle / StartPosition | The rotation/position the joint should be at when DoorOpenState is 0. Is measured in percents(%) relative to the maximum possible open state for prismatic joints, and degrees in hinge joints. | |
TargetVelocity | The maximum velocity the joint will reach. Different joint devices have different velocity limits, and might not be able to reach the configured velocity. |
