    Stop an applyLinearImpulse

    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 :D 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.

      Regards,

      Your example works great!
