How do I pause physics for an object

Hi,

Sorry, total nube to the physics stuff...

I have a sprite set to have physics...works great...

But I want to pause its physics and restart them..how do I do this?

thanks

What do you mean "pause and restart" physics ?

Maybe you could post an example capx, or screenshots.

if ths falling, stop falling, if its rotating, stop rotating, if its going upward, stop going upward, etc.

I want to ...on event>>> pause any physics applied to a sprite

and on another event>>>restart the physics

make sense?

this could be used to pause a game to allow a custom menu system,or to pause and unpause specific objects.

Then in that case, on pause you need to store the values

object.physics.VelocityX

object.physics.VelocityY

object.physics.AngularVelocity

and set those to 0

Also set immovable to "Immovable"

On unpause, you set them to the value you stored and set immovable to "Movable".

VelocityX/y are the "vector" speed (translation of the object) and AngularVelocity is the rotation speed.

Thanks for the help Kyatric...I'll give that a try.

Well with physic it's pretty simple according this tutorial :

Set time scale of game to 0 to pause the game and 1 to unpause... enjoy
