I get the following error every time I run the code:

error CS0120: An object reference is required to access non-static member `UnityEngine.Joint.breakForce'

Joint.breakForce = Mathf.Infinity;

How can I properly write this? I want to set the break force to Mathf.Infinity to render the joint unbreakable.

Looks like you just need to reference the object

private FixedJoint joint;
void Start()
{
    joint = GetComponent<FixedJoint>();//assuming the joint and script components are attached to same gameobject.
    joint.breakForce = Mathf.Infinity;
}

Here Joint is a class. If you have an object called Joint, rename it to lowercase joint, since that is the proper naming style in C#. Your code then should become:

joint.breakForce = Mathf.Infinity;

And how do I properly write this? FixedJoint.breakForce = Mathf.Infinity; – user5497945 2 days ago
    
Because I get error CS0103: The name `joint' does not exist in the current context – user5497945 2 days ago
    
Because there should be an object called 'joint', which you want to make unbreakable, but here you're trying to set the break force to a class called 'Joint' which doesn't make sense. Adding more context code into your question may help resolving the issue. – Maksim Maisak 2 days ago
