Help with Ragdoll Example (Using Joints w/o Gravity)

Physics
#1

I’m working on some code based on the ragdoll physics example that comes with Corona. I’m trying to keep all the joints on the example, but to disable gravity, so that the ragdoll doesn’t float around or move in anyway, unless you drag or put it in different positions, and even then, it should remain stationary when you’re done moving it. I’m assuming this should be possible, but I can’t figure out what physics or body options I should be changing to make it happen. Can anyone point me in the right direction for keeping all the joints, but disabling all the effects of gravity?

Thanks!

Have you tried turning gravity off?

physics.setGravity( 0, 0 )

If you mean removing the effect of gravity upon a physics body, have you tried adjusting the bodies gravity scaling?

body.gravityScale = 0 

https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/type/Body/gravityScale.html

If neither of those are options, have you tried using touch joints on each piece of the ragdoll and actually “holding” the body upon, as if on invisible string?
