    Pause Physics

    edited March 2013 in General questions
    Making the mvoe from Corona to Gideros and I am absolutely loving it!!! One question though, how can I pause the box2d physics engine? I couldn't find a "pause" or "start" api call in the docs. IF there is none, is the proper way to "pause" the world in gideros by setting all bodies to "sleep" or "inactive"?

      just remove the enterframe event and box2d will get pause automatically

      i am assuming you are using somewhat like world:step(1/60,8,3)

      in the case you are using world:step(dt,8,3) where dt is counted depending upon interval you need to chk after resuming enterframe so dt has not much higher value

      at the other hand as long as you dont call world:step(1/60,8,3) box2d will behave like it is paused so you can also use any kind of flags for this.

      Yes exactly as @hgvyas123 simply create some sort of variable as paused and check
      if not paused then
    world:step(1/60,8,3)
end

      Ah, thanks for all the explanations guys. I was expecting a simple pause/play function but I can see how using step gives you much more control. Thanks again!
