ArticulationBody.AddRelativeForce

Parameters

Description

Applies a force to the Articulation Body, relative to its local coordinate system.

You can only apply a force to an active ArticulationBody. If a GameObject is inactive, AddRelativeForce has no effect.

For more information on how ForceMode affects velocity, see Rigidbody.AddForce.

Applying a force to an ArticulationBody wakes up that body. If the force size is zero then the ArticulationBody does not wake up.
Unit of measurement - N (newtons).
