SwingingObject

v1.4.8

A hanging prop that swings from ship motion and hits. The lantern prefab is the one vanilla places.

Find placed ones with s:SwingingObject. See Filter.

Where you put it

Put it on the root of nord_lantern_nested. The script swings the child tagged swinging_entity. A child named collision_sphere sets how far the swing may go.

What you set

The quest scene stores this order. Reset Simulation and Test Collision are editor buttons. The files do not write them.

Panel field	What to do with it
Damping	How fast the swing dies. Code default is 5. The lantern stores 0.5.
Center of Mass Height	Pivot height. Lantern: -0.8.
Mass	Mass of the bob. Code default is 1. Lantern: 3.
Moment Of Inertia	Resistance to the swing. Code default is 0.5. Lantern: 0.4.
Reset Simulation	Button. Zeroes the swing in the editor.
Test Collision	Button. Pulls the swing out to the collision limit.
NavMeshPrefabName	Left empty on the lantern.

What it does

Each physics tick the child tagged swinging_entity pitches and rolls from the parent's motion. Damping, Mass, Center of Mass Height, and Moment Of Inertia shape that swing. The collision_sphere child caps it. A hit adds to the swing.

Where it lives

Managed script. Packed prefab nord_lantern_nested in Modules\NavalDLC\AssetPackages\nested_prefabs_packed.xml.

Examples

Hanging lantern. NavalDLC\SceneObj\naval_storyline_act_3_quest_5. Entity nord_lantern_nested. Damping 0.5, center of mass -0.8, mass 3, moment 0.4. The child collision_sphere sits on the entity.

The packed copy of nord_lantern_nested stores those same four numbers.
