Hopefully this is a simple “Doh!” question.
I have an object on the screen and I’m using transition.to to change its scale to make it larger over time. As it gets larger, it needs to push things around it. But I’ve confirmed using the hybrid display mode that my physics.body stays the original size and no the grown size.
How do I make the physics.body grow?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Rob,
I tried to solve your (interesting) problem.
The result it’s certainly rough, and really I don’t know if it can come you in handy (keep in mind that I have started to program only 4 months ago).
Anyway, here is the code. Copy and paste in your editor.
–> START
display.setStatusBar(display.HiddenStatusBar);
local p = require “physics”;
p.start();
p.setDrawMode(“hybrid”);
local ground = display.newRect(0, 479, 320, 1 )
p.addBody(ground, “static”,{})
ground:setFillColor(200,200,200)
local message1 = display.newText(
“Hi, I’m the red crate.”,
0, 0, 20
)
message1:setReferencePoint(display.CenterReferencePoint)
message1.x = 160; message1.y = 200
local message2 = display.newText(
“I want to show you something. Click on me please.”,
0, 0, 20
)
message2:setReferencePoint(display.CenterReferencePoint)
message2.x = 160; message2.y = 220
local crate1 = display.newRect(0,0,40,40)
crate1.x=140; crate1.y=459
crate1:setFillColor(0,0,255)
p.addBody(crate1,“dynamic”,{})
local crate2 = display.newRect(0,0,40,40)
crate2.x=180; crate2.y=459
crate2:setFillColor(255,0,0)
p.addBody(crate2,“dynamic”,{})
local plus = 0
local function growing(e)
if crate2.height <= 100 then do
message1.text = “”
message2.text = “UUUUAAAAAARRRRRRGHHHHH!!!”
crate2:removeSelf()
crate2 = display.newRect(0,0,(40 + plus),(40 + plus))
crate2.x=180; crate2.y= (459 - (plus/2))
crate2:setFillColor(0,255,0)
p.addBody(crate2,“dynamic”,{})
plus = plus + 2
end
else
Runtime:removeEventListener(“enterFrame”, growing)
end
end
local function callGrowing(e)
if e.phase == “ended” then
Runtime:addEventListener(“enterFrame”, growing)
end
end
crate2:addEventListener(“touch”, callGrowing)
–> END
I’ll try some other solution. That’s it for now. Bye!
