Stop an applyLinearImpulse

Dikkesnoek

Hello,

I want to shoot an objects. I used the applyLinearImpulse. When I want to shoot
the object a second time (I did a removeChild and a addChild to this object) It
looks that it still has that impulse. The object is going faster and faster. Any
idea how I can fix or stop this?

Thanks,

Marc

Well, from physics point of view, you need to apply same force into opposite direction to stop the object Sorry couldn't help it

So as I understand you want to reuse same body for shooting another object? I don't know if thats a good idea, but if you really want it, you can try setting velocity of body

body:setLinearVelocity(0, 0) body:setAngularVelocity(0)

thus making it to stop moving and then try shooting it again

Thanks. I have a sprite with body. I shoot this one by tapping on the screen to
different directions mostly horizontal. I use gravity too. I haven't added physics
yet to to the other objects like floors and walls so at them moment the object
is leaving the screen. When I tap the next time on the screen I want to do the
same shooting action. By swiping on the screen I can give the object some angle
(Angry Birds effect). Later I will add different velocities to influence the speed
and the distance the object will get.

Your example works great!
