Toggle Physics Rotation

The ability to toggle an objects ability to rotate through the physics engine.

Nevermind, I am blonde.

Check the "No rotation" box in the physics properties. Unless you're saying at runtime, which would be a nice feature to see implemented.

I meant at run time. Changing the angle or angle velocity each tick doesn't work well enough.

Yes I acctually came across a need for this the other day... would be nice to see a runtime toggle become available.

I just found that I am desperately in need of this.

there is a workaround for this:

first clone the object

disable rotations in the clone

when it's time to toggle rotation, you spawn the nonrotatable object

disable collisions between them, and destroy the original

this cap demonstrates this. of course, don't draw an arrow on your clone or it'll be obvious what you're doing

tada!

Any chance of this being added in .99 or 1.0?

It's in the next build thanks to Rich

You just made my day.

Change everything that you can set initially, at runtime should definitely added for all objects//behaviours etc that it is feasible for. Come up against things like this all the time and its really frustrating.

Some of them can't be, but in this instance it can.
