LÖVE

Hi. I'm posting here because I'm trying to make a Polygons shape with love.physics, but it just refuses to work.

As a way of trouble shooting, I'm only looking to be able to draw a 10x10 square with love.physics.newRectangleShape

CODE: SELECT ALL
self.shape = love.physics.newPolygonShape(0, 0, 10, 0, 10, 10, 0, 10)
--self.shape = love.physics.newRectangleShape(10, 10)


Both lines of code should technically achieve the same thing, but only the latter works.
Check it out yourself if you're interested. The code is in actor.lua.

Bump.

Can anybody help me help you help me?

Hi Odysseus. The newRectangleShape function creates a rectangle centered around x,y. For your example, the rectangle would be centered around 0,0. The newPolygonShape function creates a rectangle with its top left corner at 0,0. You'll want to offset your polygon by (-5,-5). I've added this note to the wiki. Good luck.

Thanks for the support markgo!
