Change Collision Shape with a rule

tenrdrmer

Is it possible to change the collision shape or your actor with a rule? I want to do this because as soon as the scene loads my round object rolls around before you even begin playing so i want it to sit still until some other action has occurred. I setup a rule when

self.position.y is < than 340

Change attribute
self.physics.collision shape to Circle

but that didn't work, I'm assuming because the collision attribute is not a text attribute.
Any Ideas?

not possible

Damn it how is it not possible. its a predefined attribute. How else can i make a round object sit still until something else hits it or something like that.

You could use invisible actors (with different collision shapes) as collision detectors for your "live" actors. You can constrain invisible actors to the positions of the live actors.

Is it possible to attach more than one invisible actor to a single actor for collision?

I don't see why not, but you'll need to account for what happens on each collision. In response to the original post, I was imagining more of having two invisible actors, on with a rect collision shape, and one with a circle, of which only one was active at any time.
