Phizix - Chandelier

[lembi2001]

I cannot work out the Phizix extension at all!!! I want to create a chandelier that when it gets shot will swing properly. I am making a point and shoot style game but for wiimotes and would love this for my game. if it is not too much trouble i would appreciate it if someone could either make a quick example or show me how to do it..

Thanks

The Phizix Platform Engine is very complex and very difficult to learn, check out the examples they might help a bit.

Quite the contrary, because in the Physics genre, you can't get much simpler than this. As dragonguy said, you should look at the examples though, because they will definitely help you. But once you figure out how to set up objects and boundaries and whatnot, all you have to do is make the bullet an object in Physics, use physics to actually control the bullet movement, and let Physics do the rest, assuming you have already set up the chandelier as a physics object.

ok got close now just cant get it to draw the "cord" between the light base and the chandelier itself

Wouldn't the cord be a joint?

[lembi2001]

ihave it st to a pin joint and the chandelier sits below the base as it should but i cant get it to draw the cord in like it does in the joints example

See how they've actually drawn the cord. I don't think Phizix will draw it for you, in fact I'm certain it won't. You'll need a secondary object to display the line.

It's beta for now, but Sphax's Vectorial Shape object looks like the way to go in the long run.

Phizix is a completley non-graphical extension... You'll have to either use a single joint or create small object to create a chain (check the bridge/chain examples!)

i have got the object i want to use as the cord as in the joints example. I have adapted the code in the example but nothing seems to work. can anyone break the code down for drawing the joints in the example for me so that i can understand it better?

Thanks a bunch
