Pause physics and keep speed on unpause

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to fix this for a while.

I have a physics ball, when it hits something specific, i want it to pause (immovable) and when i unpause (movable) i want it to keep goind on the path that it did before i paused it.

So to put it simply, i just want it to keep the speed, angle and so on after i unpause it.

Any ideas?

When I do this sort of thing I put the physics parameters into object variables. Then, when it's time to resume, I just put them back into the object's physics parameters. Something like this should work if I understood your question fully:

Thanks a lot Colludium, that should work.. Smart idea.

I'll give it a go!

Cheers

By the way, Xvel, Yvel, Rotvel are those global variables you created? or is it private variables?

nevermind, i got it ;)

They are all object variables inside the Sprite object. So with the event system you could manage lots of different instances all using the same handful of events.

Edit - glad you got it - I'm too slow at typing again!!

Yeah, i figured it out, its really a great system, im gonna use this a lot in my games from now on :D

Thanks again!
