2021.1.1208.2 Double Kinematics Controller
Overview
The Kinematics Controller is responsible for managing and updating all contained Kinematic Joints in the correct order (taking both priority and kinematic relationships into account). For it to work, the Kinematics Controller needs to placed in the hierarchy above any joints it should control. After creation the Controller will automatically manage the contained joints
Generally it is wise to use just one Kinematics Controller in your scene for all your joints, however using multiple Controllers is possible, but may lead to undesirable behavior.

Where to find
The DKinematics Controller can be found in the Prespective menu under Mechanics > Kinematics > Add Kinematics Controller
If no Game Object in the scene hierarchy was selected when this menu option is chosen it will create a new Game Object; alternatively it will add the Kinematics Controller component to the selected Game Object
Feature Layout
The image below shows the complete feature layout of the DKinematics Controller component.

|---|---|
Execute in Editor Mode | On by default. If this toggle is set true Kinematic behavior (Limits and Relationships) will also be enacted outside play mode in the Unity Editor. The DKinematicsController runs on the Unity Fixed Update within play mode, and on a custom update cycle outside play mode Note that Individual Kinematic components have a matching override ‘Enforce Outside Play mode’ that should also be on in order for it to work outside play mode |
