Question on Traer Physics Library
Aug 13th, 2006, 11:05pm  
Dear friends

I have tried to integrate the Physics Library to a project with  particles. Due to my lack of experience with programming in general, I am having problems while trying to constrain the attraction between the particles.What I want to do is to initialize the attraction forces and freeze them at will.
For example while setting the attraction like this:
   physics.makeAttraction(a,b,500,10); //between particles a and b
I am trying to turn it off like this..and it is not working:
   physics.makeAttraction(a,b,0,10).turnOff();

Does anyone know how to declare this???..cause I know I am not doing it the right way Sad

That is not going to work, what you're doing is creating a new attraction and then instantly turning it off again. Instead you might try this:

Code:

Attraction attr = physics.makeAttraction(a,b,500,10);


Now you have an Attraction object that you can refer to at will. To turn it off you would call the turnOff() method of that object like this:

Code:

attr.turnOff();


Hope that helps,
