Ignore a NewtonBody for specific time

[FSA]

Hello!
Is it possible to ignore a body (no collision, no interaction, no falling) as long as I want? If so, how? Like:

Code: Select all

NewtonIgnoreBody(NewtonBody* pBody, bool bIgnore);


Thank you.

Umm I never had that case before.

There are few way that I can think off, but the all require few steps.
if you want I can add two functions like

Code: Select all

void NewtonBodyRemoveSimulation(body)
void NewtonBodyAddToSimulation(body)

basically it will add or remove a body from the simulation graph,

[FSA]

Yes that would be nice. Is the collision also ignored?

[Julio Jerez]

If is remove from the graph yes, it is as if the body does no exit.
is that what you want?

[FSA]

Exactly

That would be extremely useful for my project too!

ok these are complete now.

void NewtonBodyEnableSimulation(const NewtonBody* const body);
void NewtonBodyDisableSimulation(const NewtonBody* const body);

[FSA]

Great! It works perfectly!

[Bird]

ok these are complete now.

void NewtonBodyEnableSimulation(const NewtonBody* const body);
void NewtonBodyDisableSimulation(const NewtonBody* const body);

Thanks for adding these!

Is it ok to change a body from Dynamic to Static or vice versa while it's in the Disabled state? Or do I have to to destroy the body and re-add it when changing body type during a running simulation.

dynamic body and static body are diffrent leaf classes, that will not be poosible, because one will lose information they onel teh pther haves
