love.physics.newPolygonBody

Available since LÖVE 12.0

This function is not supported in earlier versions.

Creates a new Body with an attached PolygonShape.

This is a convenience constructor which effectively calls love.physics.newBody and love.physics.newPolygonShape.

The shape can have 8 vertices at most, and must be convex.

Function

body = love.physics.newPolygonBody( type, x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, ... )

BodyType type: The type of the body.
number x1: The x position of the first point, in world space.
number y1: The y position of the first point, in world space.
number x2: The x position of the second point, in world space.
number y2: The y position of the second point, in world space.
number x3: The x position of the third point, in world space.
number y3: The y position of the third point, in world space.
number ...: You can continue passing more point positions to create the object.

Body body: The new Body with an attached PolygonShape. The body's world position is computed based on the geometric center of the given vertices, and the created shape's local origin is at that center point.

body = love.physics.newPolygonBody( type, vertices )

BodyType type: The type of the body.
table vertices: A list of vertices to construct the polygon, in the form of {x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, ...}.

Body body: The new Body with an attached PolygonShape. The body's world position is computed based on the geometric center of the given vertices, and the created shape's local origin is at that center point.
