I'm making a game in which a certain object (modelled as a box2d body) has to follow a fixed path. Is there a way by which I can specify the path coordinates and make the object advance over it for each dt?
Thanks
Another option:
- Attach a mouse joint to your body
- Use setTarget method of the mouse joint to move the body
You should use a Kinematic body, but you can't change its position manually, you have to change its speed for the dynamics and collisions to be applied correctly.
I suggest the following algorithm:
1st - Calculate the position on the track that the body should be in on the next dt.
2nd - Make a vector going from the position where the body is to the next position.
3rd - Normalize it.
4rd - Calculate how much speed you need so that the body will be in that position on the next loop, and multiply that speed on the vector.
5th - Apply this vector to the Linear Velocity of the body.
Note: make sure the kinematic body has zero drag so that calculating the 4th step is easier.
I never did something like this, I think it can be done this way. Hope it helps :)
