dragging with physics

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

hello everybody, I am trying to find a solution to this problem, when I drag a image I experience a slight delay with when I drag fast. Now I am using physics and I think solution lies somewhere there.
this is what I am using right now, it’s pretty annoying. 
player:addEventListener( “touch”, gameUI.dragBody )

so in a nutshell, the image delays when I drag it fast, I want to drag the image instantly.

thank you :slight_smile:

Are you setting the body to kinematic before you start moving it?  You may be fighting the physics engine which wants to move your objects for you.

I have the object on kinematic and I have tried static and dynamic as well, I fixed a recent issue with a physic body like this “object.isFixedRotation = true”. Do you think some type of physic body will help or what? 

Thanks for the reply :slight_smile:

You’ve only provided a very vague description of the problem.  You may need to post some code so we can see what’s going on.
