CONTAINSProblem

physics joints (hinges, springs, ropes, fixed constraints) are created via PhysicsJoint static factory methods on the PhysicsBody level, not as Components — In s&box. Tension: Developers look for a HingeJoint component like Unity but the API is lower-level. Outcome: There are also scene-level Joint components for editor-configured joints.

DESCRIBES_SOLUTIONSolution

Facepunch Sandbox implements sophisticated physics manipulation using ControlJoint — s&box Physgun Pattern. Tension: GrabState Sync'd Structure. Outcome: ControlJoint Implementation.
