      Hello everyone, to see if a charitable soul can help me out.
      Using MSPhysics script I want to get:
      1 know the position of a servo join
      2 move the servo without using “get_var ()” as controller

      I wish to animate a mechanism with scripting, I would greatly appreciate code examples (I find it almost impossible to find them)
      Greetings and many thanks

        Yeah, the docs do not have enough coding examples. But I intended to fix that someday.

        To get the position of a servo joint from a script field, you will first need to know the name/id of the joint, which is displayed in UI when you select the joint. Then you can write the following code:

        
        > onStart {
        >   @j = simulation.find_joint_by_name("569422")
        > }
        > 
        > onTick {
        >   # Set desired angle
        >   if (key(' ') == 1) 
        >     @j.controller = 100.degrees
        >   else
        >     @j.controller = 0
        >   end
        >   
        >   # Get current angle
        >   simulation.log_line @j.cur_angle.radians
        > }
        > 
        

        You can refer to servo docs for more functionality: https://www.rubydoc.info/github/AntonSynytsia/MSPhysics/MSPhysics/Servo
