How do I prevent physics object sleeping

So I have an immovable physics wall, which uses the rotate behavior to make it spin. When my character moves into the wall, the wall pushes it for a short time before the character physics just goes to sleep and the wall starts passing through it.

a) How do I stop the physics object going to sleep?

b) I'm pretty sure the character sprite goes to sleep because its X and Y velocity show as 0 in the debugger... even though it is being pushed by the wall. Any suggestions as to how on earth that's possible??

Thanks everyone.

TMAJA take a look at this simple demo and learn from it. And if you want more then try link below

Hi Lordshiva,

Thanks for your input - but it doesn't bring me at all closer to stopping the character physics object going to sleep. I already have a reasonable grasp of the physics plug in, but this is eluding me. Could anyone tell me how to stop a physics object going to sleep? (Even if its velocity is 0,0)??

Thanks!

Physics treats immovable objects as not moving so I imagine it thinks any objects in contact with it can sleep.

One idea would be to not make the obsticle immovable. Instead attach it with a revolute joint to another immovable object. Then set the angular velocity instead of using the rotate behavior.

In the current version 216 there is a condition to check if Physics for object is sleeping. I've found that applying a force if that happens with 0 values is enough to prevent from sleeping.
