ApplyImpulse in TX or schedule function

by Vincenzo Selvaggio · in Torque X 2D · 06/24/2007 (1:16 pm) · 2 replies

Hi All,
I'd like to apply an impulse to an object, I tried:

ourObject.Physics.ApplyImpulse(new Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Vector2(0.0f, -1.0f));

It works but the object keeps moving without stopping (different from TGE applyImpulse on a non static obj).
Should I set any physic parameters?

Alternatively I was thinking to create a schedule (like in TGE), so after let's say 1s I'll change the velocity of the object back to the vector (0,0) to stop it. The issue is that I can't find such a function, can I do it in another way?

Thank you very much,
Vincenzo

A function to shedule something?

TorqueEngineComponent.Instance.GameTimeSchedule.Schedule(2000, SpawnCallback);

There's an overload that lets you pass an object in which case your callback would look something like:

public void SpawnCallback(object sender, ScheduledEventArguments args)
{
T2DSceneObject toSpawn = (T2DSceneObject)args.DataToSend;
//do something here
}


I havent touched the impulse stuff so sorry cant help you there.

Thank you Josh,
it worked great!!!

public void stopSemiMobWall(object sender, ScheduledEventArguments args)
{
T2DSceneObject wallSemiMob = (T2DSceneObject)args.DataToSend;
wallSemiMob.Physics.Velocity = new Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Vector2(0.0f, 0.0f);
}


See you,
Vincenzo
