A "dynamic" sensor?????

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Is there any way to keep a “dynamic” sensor object in place without it falling off the screen???

I know it is theoritically impossible… but I would love any work around solutions please…

Why not just make it a static sensor?

[lua]physics.addBody( YOUR_OBJECT, “static”, { isSensor = true} ) [/lua] [import]uid: 7366 topic_id: 12392 reply_id: 45160[/import]

So you just want a work around…right ?
don’t complain that this code is not efficient…

try this

[lua]local physics = require(“physics”)
physics.start()

physics.setGravity( 0, 9.8 )

local cueball = display.newImage( “ball_white.png” )

physics.addBody(cueball)
cueball.x =50
cueball.y = 50

local function setball()
cueball.x =50
cueball.y = 50
end
timer.performWithDelay(10, setball, 0)[/lua] [import]uid: 71210 topic_id: 12392 reply_id: 45162[/import]

Hi,

Thanks for the answers :slight_smile:

A had actually found another way.

[lua]local onEnterFrame = function(event)
cueball.x = 50
cueball.y = 50
end

Runtime:addEventListener(“enterFrame”,onEnterFrame)[/lua]
Almost similar to your solution I think… Thanks anyway! [import]uid: 64174 topic_id: 12392 reply_id: 45164[/import]

Ha ha… I always comes out with complecated solutions even when there are simple ones. [import]uid: 71210 topic_id: 12392 reply_id: 45173[/import]

#6

how about this
local physics = require “physics”
physics.start()

circle = display.newCircle(100,100,50)
physics.addBody(circle,{isSensor = true})
circle.linearDamping = 100 – make it high [import]uid: 12482 topic_id: 12392 reply_id: 46367[/import]
