physics.addBody doesn't allow static with circles

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

I was creating some static circles with physics.addBody

This doesn’t work:

[lua] physics.addBody( circle, “static”, { density=0.9, friction=0.3, bounce=0.3, radius=34} )[/lua]

This does, but takes two lines:
[lua] physics.addBody( circle, { density=0.9, friction=0.3, bounce=0.3, radius=34} )
circle1.bodyType = “static”[/lua]
I searched the bug tracker and didn’t see this issue. Is this a known issue? Small problem I know… :slight_smile:

The first way is no longer supported. From the online docs:
“In Alpha 2, this attribute is no longer part of the body element definition, and will be ignored if specified in the above format.”

In your example you are creating “circle” and adding the bodyType to “circle1”. I assume this is a typo in the forum post.

Yes that was a typo. Thanks for the clarification. I will check the doc again. It works just figured I would post and save someone else the trouble of figuring it out.
