Hinges

Two of the many types of hinges available

Hinges

Type Utility machinery

Function Joint motor

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.
