How do you get the hinge joint working on all Axis?

Question

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to make my ground be able to tilt(move) on all of the axis. A great example would be this video.

Currently I have a hinge joint connected to my ground(platform) and It is only working on 1 axis and I was wondering if anybody knows how to make it work on all of the axis?

you want it to tilt on all of the axis not in same time I hope. anyways I briefly tried it and what worked for me is to access the axis attribute from the HingeJoint component and simply assign a new Vector 3 to to

 void OnMouseDown(){//this changes axis from x axis to y axis
         new_axis = new Vector3 (0f, 1f, 0f);
         //GetComponent<HingeJoint> ().anchor = new_anchor;
         GetComponent<HingeJoint> ().axis = new_axis;
     }

I actually used the configurable joint and it's working perfectly! Thank you! But I just have one question. I had gameobjects that I had set to 0.5 (y-axis) above the platform and when i start to tilt it some of the gameobjects go below the platform due to the tilt. I was wondering if you knew how to strictly connect the gameobjects to the platform?

Thanks again for your help!!

Hi

I'm trying to do something very similar, I want the object to be able to rotate on all axes but have a joint to another axis (to represent shoulder ball and socket movement in 3d). Did the configurable joint work for this?
