Retrive ID in phizX

[willy]

I've got two different physic objects. Box and Circle. Both of them have plenty of instances.

Now I want to try to do a bunch of stuff with individual physic objects. One option is "Get body ID from active", this can only be done through the expression editor, and I have no idea how to select an active from the expression editor.

Whats the easiest way to retrieve body ID in the physx object?

ActiveBodyID( "Phizix - Chipmunk Engine", Fixed( "Object Name" ))

That is the easiest way. Also make sure you use object selection in the conditions to select one object. If you still have more than one object selected at a time, use "Pick random object" from pick or count.

I've set value B to all of the box objects to it's angle. I've debugged it, and all of the individual box objects show the correct value B related to its angle.

I've made this code
0 Box overlapping obstacle
+ Alterable value B of "box" <-5
+ Alterable value B of "box" > 5

=

Set angle
Body ID
(ActiveBodyID( "Phizix - Chipmunk Engine", Fixed( "Box" )))
Angle
ActiveBodyID( "Phizix - Chipmunk Engine", Fixed( "Box" ))+4

I want the box to stand upright at 0 degrees when they are overlapping an obstacle. This doesn't work. Nothing happens when the box objects overlaps the obstacle. I've even shrunken the collision field by 1px width and height. So the active is defiantly overlapping obstacles.

I never find the upload thingie on this forum.

I've sent you a mail to "LB@LB-Stuff.com" (37kb). The problem is marked in red in the event list.
