    I am making a physics game with joint break forces, but I need to be able to revert objects back to a previous state. Problem is that when a joint breaks it disappears automatically.

    Is there a way to just disable joints instead of destroying them when they break?

    EDIT: Came up with a sort of hack.
    1. When joint breaks, make a clone of the object with the joint and disable the clone (invisible)
    2. Save the clone to a list
    3. When time to recover, for each clone add component back to original and copy properties over
    4. Destroy clones

    When I implemented the breakable 2D joints, I copied the existing functionality of 3D joints which is to delete the component however I think it's a good idea to have the option to either destroy or disable the joint. I will add this as a feature request and see about getting it done sooner rather than later as it's a super easy thing to add.
