Suspend Dynamics? [new question]

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

Hi!

I have an object that is a rigid body and has a Rigid Body Joint so it can rotate and react to gravity.
But now I want to suspend that for a while (If I press a button), so it doesn’t react to gravity anymore.
How should I do this?
I’ve tried doing it with getting the angular velocity and give it an angular velocity that’s the opposite of the one it already has. But this doesnt work so well…

Hope someone can help me :slight_smile:

No one?
Maby a screen is a little bit better to understand…

And a Youtube Vid
The cars can spin around freely. But this ride has also breaks to lock the cars in their position.
How can I do that?

Hello
there’s a “Edit Object - Dynamics” Actuator, with some functions useful for your case, maybe?!

I tried that, but it didn’t work, 'cause the RBjoint then also stops. :frowning:
But I’ll give that another try then… Maby parent the cars to the cars for the duration of the brakes?

Okey, that worked :wink: Thanks anyway :slight_smile:

Now I have a new problem. The parenting action takes to long.
This is my code:

import GameLogic as g
cont = g.getCurrentController()
own = cont.getOwner()

jointsens = cont.getSensor("joint")
joint = jointsens.getOwner()

orien1 = own.localOrientation[0][0]-1
if own.mode == 1 and orien1 > -0.001 and orien1 < 0.001:
    own.setParent(joint)
if own.mode == 0:
    own.removeParent()
    
own.orien = own.localOrientation[0][0]-1

This should parent the car when it’s x-orientation is between -0.001 and 0.001 and mode is 1 (the brakes are on).
But when I tried it, it got parented at 0.9. Is this because parenting is slow?

Thanks,
