How to make hanging swinging with gravity.

Wortek

Hi guys, can anyone suggest a way to make a hanging swinging objects affected by gravity like the one Firemaple have here: http://gamesalad.com/game/play/70948
but I need that white object to be affected by the gravity so that if the rope (connection) will be destroyed the object would fall down and while it's there it will hang.
Is that possible?

I have a big hopes for some reply of the veterans - Firemaple and Tshirtbooth
they are the most experienced in that kind of things.
Thanks.

You need to set up a boolean attribute called something like 'isHanging'.
Set it initially to true (check the box).

And a Rule, like this:

Rule
When all conditions are valid:
self.isHanging = true
-----[do all of the hanging calculations]
otherwise
-----Accelerate: 270 degrees [speed]

Thanks Firemaple I think thats a solution for turn on/off falling down of the white object.
However if we will hit the object to the left with something it will not swing back to it's original position. Gota try it out.
