only parts of a multi shape polygon are dragable

#1

hello.

I have a multi shaped polygon that’s only dragable by a very small area where the two shapes intersect. I need the whole object to respond to the touch event, not just a tiny part of it. How would I go about doing that ?

my code:
boomerang = display.newImage( “boomerang.png”)
boomerang.x = 170
boomerang.y = 200
physics.addBody( boomerang, “dynamic”,
{ density = 1.5, bounce = 0.3, friction=0.6, shape=long1Shape},
{ density = 1.5, bounce = 0.3, friction=0.6, shape=long2Shape})
boomerang:addEventListener( “touch”, startDrag )

thank you! [import]uid: 39057 topic_id: 7776 reply_id: 307776[/import]

The touch will actually respond to the whole image, even the invisible parts, so that’s not where your problem is. Are you attaching a new touch joint to the boomerang in the drag handler? [import]uid: 3953 topic_id: 7776 reply_id: 27741[/import]

I figured I messed up somewhere. starting again … and thanks for the tips. appreciated. [import]uid: 39057 topic_id: 7776 reply_id: 27748[/import]
