Makes a movable [`JointInstance`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/JointInstance.md) between two parts.

## Properties

### CurrentAngle

```luau
Motor.CurrentAngle: number = 0
```

- Tags: Not replicated, Read capabilities: Physics, Load only

Displays the current rotation of the motor in radians.

### DesiredAngle

```luau
Motor.DesiredAngle: number = 0
```

- Tags: Read capabilities: Physics

The desired angle to turn the motor to in radians.

### MaxVelocity

```luau
Motor.MaxVelocity: number = 0
```

- Tags: Read capabilities: Physics

The maximum velocity the motor can use to reach [`Motor.DesiredAngle`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/Motor.md) measured in radians per physics frame (1/60th of a second).

### ReplicateCurrentAngle

```luau
Motor.ReplicateCurrentAngle: number = 0
```

## Methods

### SetDesiredAngle

```luau
Motor:SetDesiredAngle(value: number)
```

- Tags: Capabilities: Physics

Sets [`Motor.DesiredAngle`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/Motor.md) of the motor.

Parameters:

- `value`: The target angle, in radians, to set as the motor's [`Motor.DesiredAngle`](https://rapi.sleaze.dev/classes/Motor.md).
