Does TBG have support for true gravity?

by Merfy · in Torque Game Builder · 11/22/2009 (2:05 pm) · 4 replies

Can I set the mass on an object and have it apply forces on nearby object with mass or does TGB only support the downward based "earth" gravity?

With some simple trigonometry and scripting, you should be able to use the onUpdate(); function to make something similar to what you are talking about.

TGB doesn't come with the ability to allow objects to attract/repulse each other as it's a very specialized requirement.

You can easily add this yourself using script and/or C++ though.
