Why can't I use setX on a physics body, when setPosition does work?

Tom2012

self.body:setX(200) doesn't work but
self.body:setPosition(200,100) does...

Here's the error:

Classes/Hero.lua:30: attempt to call method 'setX' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
Classes/Hero.lua:30: in function 'init'
[string "property.lua"]:31: in function 'new'
Scenes/Level 1.lua:74: in function 'init'
[string "property.lua"]:31: in function 'new'
Classes/scenemanager.lua:264: in function 'changeScene'
main.lua:10: in main chunk


Just curious why?

Thanks!

While Gideros object's as Sprite has the ability to set coordinates apart (as setX and setY).

Box2D does not have one, because all the box2d methods are plain copy of original Box2d API without modifications

That of course does not stop you to define your own abstraction methods

Aha! That makes sense, thanks..
