2d Ragdoll marionette??

post a cap just by uploading it to something like dropbox

Hey, Ive been toying with the physics concept and it looks like it is a no go.

I can get it to work fine whilst everything is stationary, but once I incorporate user control to the puppets body, the physics effected parts go nuts.

Perhaps I stick to the simpler -non physics version. I really do appreciate everyones help, but I cant seem to get the puppet physics to work when the user moves the body.

Try this method for moving the puppet body around:

That should be compatible with physics. Well, actually, it is compatible with physics, because it only uses physics and doesn't try to incorporate Mouse Behavior or anything like that.

You could easily make it so that the body is always "attached" to the mouse cursor, rather than just the drag&drop method shown here. Just do:

+ Always
  -> Body: Physics: Set velocity to (mouseX - body.X, mouseY - body.Y)

Thanx for the help!

Ive decided to stick with the non-physics version though. It is much simpler to create and way more reliable. Sorry to waste your time. Was great fun experimenting with the ideas tho.
