LÖVE

Hey everyone,

I'm trying out the never version of löve, but it's not even detecting basic physics functions. I don't know exactly what changes were made, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Take, for example, just this full code:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	shape = love.physics.newRectangleShape(800, 200)
	shape:setDensity(0.5)
end

Once I run it, I get the error that 'setDensity' is a nil value. Why is this?

Also, how do you link a shape to a body? In previous versions, the first argument for new shapes asked for its body, but how does it work now?

Thanks!

Hi,
I have never used love.physics module. But it seems you are using newRectangleShape() and setDensity() correctly.
Seems that setDensity() simply doesn't work.

Obligatory "don't use love.physics if you just need standard jumping and collision".

Shapes don't have a density anymore, look at Fixtures.

Oh..lookitthat, Fixtures. Thanks!!

Also, do you have any idea when they'll update the documentation for 0.8.0?

Looks updated to me. Also, make sure you create a world for your physics objects.

Ewww physics?
I'll stick to what I know.
