[Solved] How do I real box physics?

Hello everybody,

I want to create "real" box physics. Here is my *.capx: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uzfn4voyl8gxqdv/box.capx?dl=0

The box has a angle of 45 degrees. But if they fall off, they will not to tumble. What's going wrong?

That looks funny. Maybe some kind of bug or glitch. However, if you set the angle of your PlayersObject to other than 45 ist works.

But that's wrong, either it tilts left or right... come on little pixel block, MAKE A DECISION! xD

If you really need that the box randomly tipping left or right you could add randomly 0.1 or -0.1 to the angle when the box is created.

PlayersObject| OnCreated -> PlayersObject| Set angle to PlayersObject.Angle+choose(-0.1,0.1) degree.

Now it should randomly fall to left or right.

when I set angle to 45.01 (or 45.1), it works

Ok, I use the following action after create the box:

Set angle to 45 + choose(0.1, -0.1) degrees[/code:174d4lnn]
It works! 

But, I have another problem with "shooting the box". If I kick the box, they should be rotate automatically. Currently it does not look real.

I don't know which event do you use to 'kick' your box, but most events have the possibility to set an Image-Point where the force will hit. Make a second Image Point slightly of the center and use this Image-Point. Now your box should rotate.

The action calls "Physics: Forced - Set velocity" and I use the following values:

X component: (Object.X - Touch.X) * 8
Y component: (Object.Y - Touch.Y) * 8[/code:3ju83d7l]

You could use 'Apply impulse at angle' additionally to your 'set velocity'-event. Maybe you have to try different values to get it work.

I set the image point to top left and after the "set velocity" action, I add a "set angular velocity" action. I'll test it with "-100" and now... it works! Thank you very much!

~edit: Ok, you don't need to set the image point to top left. It works also, if the image point is set to middle.
