Awww, perfect! Set the density to 1, and then have the formula 1*mass as the force.

Thank you all very much!

Tried that, but when the small and the large items collide, they both bounce off each other equally, where the large object should easily overpower it.

I don't think I'm trying to change the laws of physics... if you drop a feather and a cannonball, they will fall at the same speed (ignoring drag and air resistance). That's all I want. Except, I just want to choose which way the gravity is pointing.

That's the thing... I don't want the heavy objects to be knocked aside as easily as small objects, but I do want them all to travel at the same speed. That's why ideally I would like a change gravity direction setting... but it doesn't appear to exist.

Yeah, mass is density x collision area. If you turn off gravity and watch the movement, all items move at the same speed, no matter the size. I can make them the same speed by changing the density of the item, but I can't figure out the formula to set all the items with the same mass.

**EDIT** Sorry, turn on the gravity.

Hi Weishaupt!

I did originally have the object set up as force... but it didn't work too well. The smaller the object, the faster the force moved it. I wouldn't have thought it would effect this. I have gravity set to zero, but no luck...

:( No, impulse doesn't work either... Small objects move faster than the large. Will I have to set the mass to the same?

**EDIT** Can't figure out how to change the mass... :(

I'll try impulse instead of force, but force doesn't work as expected.

I'll let you know :)

Hi, I am wondering if there's a way we can change the direction of gravity with objects using the physics behaviour.

I know you can add forces to objects, but forces affect each object differently depending on their mass. A large (heavy) object will fall at the same speed as a smaller (lighter) object with gravity... but with forces, the large object is slow, but the small objects are fast. Is there a way to make it constant, without changing each object's mass?

Hope you guys can help!

Pulling this from my rusty memory, so sorry if I'm mistaken. As the characters talk, the game displays the letters one by one playing a sound for the voice. I'd like to do the same thing, but have a beeping sound instead. Is it possible at the moment? I'd like it to be an event or action that occurs when text is appearing, rather than a separate event each time.

I can't even think where to start with this. I can change the text, but not have it appear one letter at a time, at different speeds to represent emotions or delivery.

Bright sparks, please share thy wisdom!

Bastion was released on the Google Chrome store :) Jus sayin'... good example of a great game being played on a browser. No idea if it's HTML5 or not, but it does show how far browser gaming has come.

Anyway, back to my hidey-hole...
