Why is this body not able to have physics applied to it?

#1

newplayer is genorated but physics are not set.
no errors.
[lua]function onLocalCollision( self, event )
if event.other.id == “player” then
newplayer = display.newCircle(500,500,100)
physics.addBody(newplayer,{radius=100})

end

#2

Give this a try.
[lua]function onLocalCollision( self, event )

if event.other.id == “player” and not event.other.bodyType then
timer.performWithDelay(1,function()
newplayer = display.newCircle(500,500,100)
physics.addBody(newplayer,{radius=100})
end,1)

end
