In this section, we looked at how to explore Physics Damping using blueprints and the Physics Constraint component. By setting values in Physics Constraint, we are able to simulate a pendulum in our game world that would swing forever until we apply angular damping with the Angular Velocity Strength parameter. Lastly, we applied an angular threshold that would cause our constrained mesh to break from the joint and become its own separate physics body.

Overview of this book
This book gives readers practical insight into the mathematical and physics principles necessary to properly implement physics within Unreal Engine 4.
Discover how to manipulate physics within Unreal Engine 4 by learning basic real-world mathematical and physics concepts that assist in the implementation of physics-based objects in your game world. Then, you'll be introduced to PhAT (Physics Asset Tool) within Unreal Engine 4 to learn more about developing game physics objects for your game world.
Next, dive into Unreal Engine 4’s collision generation, physical materials, blueprints, constraints, and more to get hands-on experience with the tools provided by Epic to create real-world physics in Unreal Engine 4. Lastly, you will create a working Vehicle Blueprint that uses all the concepts covered in this book, as well as covering advanced physics-based topics.
