The bottom line is that you can't. That's a limitation of the physics engine. Fundamentally, the physics engine functions by checking where things are and where they should be, then uses forces to push objects back where they should be. That's why breaking a constraint or penetration makes objects tremble.

Specifially under UE5, 4 had physX which where much more reliable

If you're controlling it with the mouse, the handle might not be the problem. From what I understood myself, the mouse update might be the issue, it has lag in UE5. I don't have a link to back this up, but I'm sharing what I know. But, as a general rule, when dealing with physics, expect some kind of lag. If you don't want any lag, you'll have to set the position manually, but then you won't have physics on the object.

Yeah, physics is cool. :) I'm actually planning to make a physics asset pack and make it available for purchase on Fab. I'll be making a video preview on the channel to see if the community is interested.

@Lusiogenic it will be actually fantastic.

There are basically 2 points which hold this in place. One is a physics constraint in the center of the wheel and the other which limits the piston movement. (Edit: scratch that. you can just attach the base, because the piston is attached to the base) Those physics constraints have to be attached to your object. It's hard to understand why it's bugging without knowing the exact setup you have. The usual problems are collisions with other elements, which makes things jump all over the place. Check that you don't have a capsule or something invisible that collides. Also, when you attach this to another object make sure that collision is disabled on the physics constraint. Not sure why it would go to the world origin. It doesn't make sense. Try to test it with simple setup on another object and see how it goes.

@@Lusiogenic Thank you so much for the detailed reply and explanation. Yeah I started by removing the base and attaching it directly to the parent mesh and made some progress, however the constraint being locked was what caused it to teleport to world origin. I overcame that by just adjusting other values but in the end I think it won't work that well with a moving pawn (submarine is what I was making). I tried removing collision which did work partly then finally tested it in a new empty blueprint which had no issues so it must be something with pawns which I just have to look into more to find out.

​@@UE5Poseidon You're welcome. I don't see why attaching to a pawn wouldn't work. I'm willing to bet it's collides with other components of the pawn.

I don't know where that sound is coming from.. 😅 I hope it provides some ambiance 😃

PC fans at max level show that I'm a serious dev, right? 😁

@Lusiogenic ofc bruv, you are just the only dude in RUclips with professional and advanced tutorials in unreal engine. Keep it up bruv 💯💯🫡

@Lusiogenic ofc 😂

Because it's the center of the character capsule, it's easy to calculate. 🙂 I've changed it in the meantime, BTW.

@@Lusiogenic😂

FYI, Soft constraints are not working correctly in 5.X. It's only the linear soft constraints that are working in 5.5. We'll see if they fix the angular ones.

Try to track the rotation difference frame by frame in a blueprint. Add it up in a float, then when the float surpasses 360 (if you're tracking degrees), increment a counter. Then use that counter to know how many rotations the wheel has done.

Depending on the counter, you could then apply angular motors to slow down or stop the rotation of the wheel.

To my knowledge, there's no built in functionality that does what you're looking for.

Might just be the fresnel settings, or the alpha channel of the color (if the alpha is 0, the color will be transparent). Have you downloaded the sample project, or did you try to make it yourself from scratch.

Thanks for the input! However, I'm curious to know what is the disadvantage of using a physics constraint? As I see, the advantage is that I'm not running code of my own to update the position, it's all done automatically in the physics engine, so to me it's a plus.

Doesn't this tutorial help? ruclips.net/video/XVND_jo-kNo/видео.html

I'm honored! 🙏

use Equal(Enum) instead of Equal(==)

Hey bro, thanks for the compliments! Are you flattering me so I make the tutorial? 😅 Well, it might just work. 😁 It seems simple enough, maybe I'll do a live stream. I'm not making a horse, though, I don't make models and animations. Just using the character should suffice, and you can replace it with a horse at your convenience. We'll see.

@@Lusiogenic It's really nice that an influencer responds to their audience so quickly and beautifully. I also thank you for that. I'd be happy if you could tell me when you'll be live streaming and on which site. By the way, I also noticed in your videos that it's really good that you don't use mesh or animation. It's not necessary, you explain it very well.

@@mrvizier7788 I usually record and publish my live streams on youtube, so there's no need watch at a certain time. I'm just coming back to UE and I have other projects in parallel, so I can't make any promises. I guess sometime in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed!

@@Lusiogenic You have followers who expect informative videos from you. Don't forget that :)

@@mrvizier7788 Ah, dude, the guilt tripping 😅

I was thinking of doing that. The problem with making assets is that they have to be quite polished. I do have quite a bunch of physics assets gathered over the years. We'll see. 🙂

That's a fun idea. I'll think about it. No promises 🙂

Oh yeah! 😎
