[solved] Is it possible to create Joints between specific instances of a same object ?

Hello,

I have an event that creates a variable number of a SpriteObject, and I want these objects to create prismatic joints between them. The idea is that Instance(1) is bound to Instance(2), then Instance(2) is bound to Instance(3), etc.

All these Sprites are just different instances of a same SpriteObject. I do not find any way to pick a specific instance in order to create the joint with another specific instance of the same object.

Is this even possible ?

It is possible, but you will have to create a family with this object and move Physics behavior to the family level.

Then you can pick one instance of the family, another instance of the object itself, and create a joint between them.

Thank you, its working !

It was a bit hard to this in a loop, but I finally found a solution. My instances are created by a first loop, in order to place them correctly on the layout. I found that it is not possible to create the joints during this loop, because construct need to wait for the next tick. I created a second loop, launched right after the end of the first one, but after a "wait 0 second" action. This second loop creates the joints between the instances created by the first loop.

Are you making a chain? Check out this demo:

This is not exactly what im trying to do, but this tutorial is very helpfull, thanks !
