    Hi,

    You need:
    1. destroy body with b2.World:destroyBody and
    2. remove the sprite from stage with Sprite:removeChild

  • um i cant figure out how to do it could you show me a code example?
  •  
    stage:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_BEGIN , onTouchesBegin)
     
    function onTouchesBegin(event)
    	world:destroyBody(yourObjectBody)
    	stage:removeChild(yourObjectSprite)
    end
    add event listner to the stage...

    then in onTouchesBegin function (fired only when you touch the screen of you device)
    remove the bodyobject and the relative sprite...

    hope it helps.

    Ciao Gianluca.

    Open "Sleeping bodies" example at Physics section and add these to the end of main.lua:
    local function onMouseDown(event)
    	for i=1,stage:getNumChildren() do
    		local sprite = stage:getChildAt(i)
    		local body = sprite.body
    		if sprite:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) then
    			stage:removeChild(sprite)
    			world:destroyBody(body)
    			break
    		end
    	end
    end
     
    stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown)
  • yes... atilim example is much better... :P

    because"Event.TOUCHES_BEGIN" work only on device not in the pc... ;;)

  • thanks guys [-O<
  • Hi all. Atilim, I put this
    "local function onMouseDown(event)
    for i=1,stage:getNumChildren() do
    local sprite = stage:getChildAt(i)
    local body = sprite.body
    if sprite:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) then
    stage:removeChild(sprite)
    world:destroyBody(body)
    break
    end
    end
    end

    stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown)"

    to Sleeping Bodies as you said. It doesn't work and shows the following message:
    "main.lua:90: bad argument #1 to 'destroyBody' (b2Body expected, got nil)
    stack traceback: main.lua:90: in function
    "

    What could be wrong here? I stuck with the same think in my project.
    Thanks.
  • @paulseau it seems not all stage elements has bodies, so you would also need to check for body, as
    local function onMouseDown(event)
    	for i=1,stage:getNumChildren() do
    		local sprite = stage:getChildAt(i)
    		local body = sprite.body
    		if sprite:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) and body then
    			stage:removeChild(sprite)
    			world:destroyBody(body)
    			break
    		end
    	end
    end
     
    stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown)
