Question by ProGrahamCracker · Sep 14, 2014 at 05:20 PM · 2djointshingejoint2d

Why do my hinge joints 2d not work when they are first loaded?

I have a ragdoll character that is built up of different gameobjects that are connected with hinge joints (this is 2d btw). My objects are set up as the following: the body is the main object and all other parts (head, arms, hands, legs, feet) are children to the body. the body is the only object with a collider (polygon collider 2d). when I start my project my character falls and the body collides with the floor I have, however the rest of the limbs dont rotate around the joints like they are suppose to. They do however rotate if I drag the body a tiny bit with my mouse in the scene window. Once I click it with my mouse all the joints behave like I would expect them to. I dont have any scripts attached to any of these objects. Am I missing something to make the joint behave correctly on start?

Thanks a million for all the help as I have been wracking my brain trying to get these joints to work.

SOLVED! Turns out that the object that I am attaching to the joint needs to have some type of a collider or it will not work. At least that is how I got mine to work. Since I don't want the objects to really collide with anything I just made the colliders triggers and now it works perfectly. Although if anyone else knows a better way, I would still appreciate suggestions.
