Kick Ball

I wanted to throw a ball with impulse the selected direction. try to do but fail <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Anyone know how to do?

Apply physics component to the ball, then on mouse click choose "Apply impulse towards position:

Impulse: whatever value you want, you can use distance(ball.x,ball.y,mouse.x,mouse.y) for example

PositionX: mouse.x

PositionY: mouse.y

image point: 0

I have several problems:

• When you click-on the ball shoots out in any direction, I would like to create an arrow to indicate the direction
• With the ball falls physical gravity, I want this stopped.

If you are launching the ball from a tube or similar, it could be that the impulse force is bouncing off of the object it's launching from. In which case it would be an idea to move it a few pixels away so it has a 'clean' launch area before the impulse force. This shouldn't be too obvious due to the quick frame refresh.

With regards to the arrow - that's a different question to what you originally posted, it's worth a separate topic.

If you don't want to ball to fall, then set gravity to 0. Physics works without gravity as well i.e. as in space.

This might give you a starting point

The arrow is in the picture I posted, so also wanted tips or tutorial

RamPackWobble When launched the ball does not stop at all and tell me you would know how to make a directional arrow <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

A game like this youtube.com/watch

create the image of the arrow, set it's angle to:

angle(sprite.x,sprite.y,mouse.x,mouse.y)+180

Arrow done!

Not stopping ?

Look at the balls density, friction and dampening setting to alter how quickly it will stop.

(I have altered these setting the original capx and re-uploaded it. Also added a second ball to hit)

demo

demo 2

and the capx

Thank you rampack, you can send the CapX? the links are the wrong way :P

The arrow can be taken out of the ball does not? :D

i also want to say that look at the balls density, friction and dampening setting to alter how quickly it will stop.
