    Hello! I am new to unity and my knowledge is still somewhat limited
    I have a doubt:
    It is possible, through script, to enable and disable the
    Use hinge Joint Spring?

    I've written a value in Damper, inside the Spring. But, I just want to use this Damper when I request it through some keyboard command, so
    I believe it is through script.
    Can you help me? Thank you!

    Hi, and welcome to Unity! While the SpringJoint component itself cannot be disabled, you may configure spring and damper to 0 from script when the joint is disabled. Simply restoring the values would re-enable the joint.

    I'm not using SpringJoint. What I want to disable and activate is the "Use Spring" within the "Hinge Joint". Is it possible?
