Help with physics

Heys guys!

Does anyone know how to drag and drop physic objects, while keeping the collisions?

Thanks in advance ;)

What method are you currently using?

I may be able to help if I have a little more information about what you have already tried, as not to recover the same ground.

Well, I tried to use "set force towards position", with the mouse coordinates, but the object keeps moving around the mouse. I suppose it needs some math calculations which I'm not good at :P

And if I use the drag'n drop behavior it doesn't collide with other Physic objects while dragging...

I would try something like:

+ Hold mouse button down

+ Mouse is over object

-->Set private variable "is dragging" to 1

+Private variable "is dragging" equals 1

--->Set object.X to Mouse.X

--->Set object.y to Mouse.Y

+Hold mouse button down (negated so it's a NOT)

--->object set private variable "is dragging" 0

That should work.

I've tried it and it works

You can still pull it through the immovable objects, though.

Thanks but i've already tried that. The problem is, you can only use physics events to move the object, otherwise they will not collide and that's what I really need... :(

Anyone?

You could try destroying the object on click, and then creating a dummy that doesn't use physics.

Then on mouse release, destroy dummy, create physics object.

Trigger once is your friend.
