P2, having different bodies with different gravity

[JakeCake]

So my current project builds around gravity quite a lot, and the "gravityScale" simply doesn't cut it anymore, I need to apply gravity to different objects with entirely different gravity vectors. At the moment I am using:

 

game.physics.p2.gravity.x = calculatedGravity.x;

game.physics.p2.gravity.y = calculatedGravity.y;

 

but this applies to ALL objects. Bodies in P2 doesn't seem to have the local gravity settings that Arcade physics gives, but then again, I might just be using it wrong.

 

Before I altogether disable the P2 gravity system (game.physics.p2.applyGravity = false) and create my own by adding to all object's force each step, I would like to hear if anyone else had this problem and fixed it or have any idea how to.

 

Thank you for any help

 

PS: I couldn't find anything about this in the P2 documentation, so it is most likely a limitation in P2, not Phaser.

It *is* a limitation in Phaser, as far as I know. Here's the relevant bit from the Phaser docs:

 

 

gravity Phaser.Point

A locally applied gravity force to the Body. Applied directly before the world step. NOTE: Not currently implemented.

 

 

 

edit: Looks like you're stuck with using applyForce to simulate gravity. Careful: The docs on applyForce specify the force as a Number, but it really expects a p2 vector (a Float32Array with [0] being x and [1] being y, in p2 units per second - use Phaser.Physics.P2.pxmi(value) to convert pixels to p2 units)

Thank you for the answer. I am going to implement it myself for now then.
