	Constraint dampening, or self-referencing constraints, allows a constraint to follow its source gradually instead of snapping instantly. It’s most commonly used on avatars, but works in worlds too. The main constraint types are Parent, Position, Rotation, and Scale constraints. Keep weight% of source. 0 (0%) is an instant update to target, 0.2 (20%) - 0.3 (30%) is a good value to smooth out network updates.
