2.53 edit physics on multiple objects?

In Blender 2.53, how do I change the physical properties, such as the physics type, or mass, on multiple objects? I’ve tried linking them, but that doesn’t seem to affect physics. The Copy to Selected option is greyed out for some reason. The Ctrl+C menu seems absent in 2.53. I’m out of ideas.

That’s the problem with software that is still in development, not all functions are complete.
Use 2.49 to setup your physics sim. Open it in 2.53 if you really need to.

Well, 3 lines of python got me what I wanted.

Here they are if anyone is interested.

import bpy
for obj in bpy.context.selected_objects:
    obj.game.physics_type = "RIGID_BODY"

#NO_COLLISION, STATIC, DYNAMIC, RIGID_BODY, SOFT_BODY, OCCLUDE, SENSOR, default NO_COLLISION

The rest of the options are here if anybody needs them…

Still, if any devs are listening, a straightforward way for multiple assignment would be very welcome.
