Objects reacting to the programmatic movement of another one about planck.js

[shakiba]

Here is a working demo: https://piqnt.com/space/1ICyExOEW

The only caveat was that you need to awake at least one of the bodies after setPosition().
I update the code to do that automatically on setTransform/setPosition/setAngle

The first teleport actually works fine in the link. I will make an example to see how things are.

@shakiba wow this is a small fix that opens up a huge range of opportunities for use in games. Thank you!

[shakiba]

I guess I don't know the answer! However I recommend to first search if it is possible with Box2D, and if it is then share a sample here so that I can have look.

I just revisited this issue and read it more carefully, I think it should not be difficult to fix. If you have not solved this issue yet, can you please share a sample l can test?

[quinton-ashley]

I have noticed this to, it's still an issue. You can workaround it by setting the velocity instead of position but it shouldn't be necessary imo.

[shakiba]

I guess the main issue here is updating c_position.c, you would need to use Body.setPosition() or Body.setTransform().

[quinton-ashley]

Well that doesn't work either cause I use body.setPosition. I just call it "teleporting" check out the second example:
