gravity on objects

[jxybtu]

There could be an option or check box so that gravity does/doesn't effect an object.

[ioncann0ns]

Use different collision layers.

[jxybtu]

Use different collision layers.

could you go into detail. I really don't get what your trying to say.

[ioncann0ns]

This feature is already implemented.
Unless two objects have coinciding collision layers, they won't be affected by another shape's "gravity" or attraction.

[jxybtu]

um? well what i was saying is that the simulation gravity could affect on object and not another.

[Chronos]

Set the density to match the air density (0.010 I think).

[RicH]

Stick the object to the background!

[Chronos]

Then it can't move.

[RicH]

And it isn't affected by gravity!

[Chronos]

But it can't move!

That's like me throwing you into space. You're dead, but you aren't affected by gravity!

[jxybtu]

lol. Ty chronos, much appreciated.

[RicH]

But it can't move!

That's like me throwing you into space. You're dead, but you aren't affected by gravity!

Exactly.

[Mystery]

Chronos you do know that there is gravity in space...

[Chronos]

Only when you're around planets 'n' stars 'n' shit.

[Mystery]

No. No matter where you are there is gravity.

[jxybtu]

very true. both mass and distance affect it. thats why an object with more mass does fall faster. Its just so unnoticeable that they trick us into thinking that they fall at the same rate. (technically this is true because theres no unit small enough to measure this effect)

[ioncann0ns]

No. No matter where you are there is gravity.

That's just because it becomes a very very small amount as distance increases.
THEORETICALLY, if you had NOTHING in the universe, there would be no gravity besides yourself.

[Rrobba]

Set the density to match the air density (0.010 I think).

THIS will work. It will make the object float as though there is no gravity.

[RicH]

If air friction is on.

This theory is true and false at the same time.

In a vacuum, two objects will fall at the same speed. However, the mass of the object (if it is great enough), can move the heavenly body towards it thus making it "fall faster".
