How to throw an object?

How can i throw a object? as in throwing a ball..?

what you mean? just pick up it up and trow it!

.... sorry

Are you joking? or am i being slow..? I mean within construct obviously lol

i joke, but i think you need to be more precise it what you need to happen

Well I want to replicate the throwing of a object with physics..

So when picked up the ball or objects velocity would accelerate depending on the mouses velocity.

Im surprised this has not been done yet, has it?

every 20ms

oldx var = set to mousex

oldy var = set to mousey

var distancspeed = distance(oldx,oldy,mouse.x, mouse.y)

var shootangle = angle(oldx,oldy,mouse.x, mouse.y)

on mouse release

create a object (physic) at cursor

set force

100 * distancespeed

at angle

shootangle

hmmm, Sounds complicated. The thing is, i know how to do this programatically in my programming languages, i just cannot figure out how to do it in a software thats meant to be easier :p

i cleaned it up a bit, i will try it myself now :)

To throw a ball, the easiest way it just to apply an impulse at angle. Have you read the physics tutorials?

Yeah I have read the tutorials.

But will the apply impulse at angle work?

Will its velocity change according the mouse'

Sorry,I don't know what's your happened?

Using set velocity is more accurate I think

Thank you both, Yann - Great example, but the object does not bounce?

vtrix - The capx is 'empty' I think you need to 'save as single project' to share, or zip the entire project?

Wait never mind, i got it working :)
