P2 sprite which capture another one

[nicofisch5]

Hi,

 

I use P2 physics.

What is the best way to make a sprite catching another when collide ?

In other words how can I "cancel" the collision movement between 2 sprites ?

 

After that, the 2 sprites are "walking" together till a key is down.

 

Thanks in advance.

One idea:

-Store both body coordinates

-Destroy both bodies

-firstSprite.addChild(secondSprite); // so they are stuck together forever

-merge both stored body coordinates in one single array

-firstSprite.body.addPolygon(arrayOfCoord);

 

Second idea (maybe easier, but similar):

-Store secondSprite body coordinates

-Destroy secondSprite body

-firstSprite.addChild(secondSprite); // so they are stuck together forever

-firstSprite.body.addPolygon(secondSpriteArrayOfCoord);

if you are using p2 use a constraint for this.. for example a revolute constraint.. you can the remove the constraint whenever you dont need it anymore..

This sounds like the best idea.

But are constraint absolutly not flexible ?

I mean, with my solution, I'm sure the body are stuck together and will keep exactly the same distance in every cases.

 

(PS: i'm just curious, not trying to "get the like" haha)

Thanks for your answers.

 

@valueerror can you give an example ?
