This video tutorial explains how to create bodies in your Lua program. The tutorial will explain the following:

 

- Physics inside the editor.

- Creating bodies.

- Collisions and Collision types.

- For loop.

- Arrays.

- Setting gravity.

 

Youtube upload has to wait since I need to cut the video in three parts first.

 

Have fun!!

Nice. Looking forward to 'Sound'. I need to place footsteps in with my fp controller, so it may be timely.

They are fun to listen to, like an LE podcast.

 

If you're taking ideas for advanced tutorial topics in the future, video examples of different kinds of joints would be nice. Moth AI and suchlike

Thanks again for another great tutorial. You have a gift for creating tuts that explain things clearly and at the same time aren't boring or dry. Keep up the good work.

yes he is as informative as NPR, but with a smidgen of Conan thrown in there for replay value

Can't view this from where I am, but did you figure out how to get a collision callback for bodies that were created inside the editor?

I am looking into this. I deffinetly need this for making triggers/events and I am deffinetly not going to use entityDistance for this. It makes it cheap and unprofessional.

According to Josh, the collision callback should be working though. I will let you know if I find anything on that. However the tutorial for triggers and events will really need this to work.

 

@Flexman. Yes joints and stuff will cover an entire tutorial, but since I am struggling with that myself I can't really make anything.

 

Thanks for all the kind comments!
