Cant scale physics so what now?

Games
#1

So, if I can’t scale a physic body, what can I do to change the size of my physic body?

destroy the other body and create a new it’s not a option cause I need to do a “animation” that looks like a explosion that push objects

I have read in someone that I can scale a group… but I do that my image will scale too right? I can’t only add my physic body to this group and scale?

This guy wrote up a tutorial. In a nut shell forget about scaling an object just apply an impulse force based on the x,y distance from the explosions center.

I have done some group scaling for pinch zooming on a game, I want to say it would work. I scaled the group and the objects continued to interact at their correct size for the scaling. I don’t know what will happen if you scale one group and not all though? [import]uid: 19176 topic_id: 14169 reply_id: 52176[/import]
