Hi all,
I'm trying to use a prismaticjoint to hold together two objects which may be separated but then again approaching.
The problem is I do not know how to do that when they are approaching, stop at a certain distance.
To create the joint do this:

createprismaticjoint (1, SPR1, spr2, getspritex (SPR1) +30, getspritey (SPR1) +30, 0.1,0, 1)

Please, someone knows what should be included to stop bringing the two sprites when, for example, 80 pixels away?

Thank you very much.

You could, once you know they are within 80 pixels, reposition them the right distance apart:

You can use the command SetJointLimitOn() with the lower and upper bounds being multiples of the vector specified when creating the joint. For example in your case a limit to 0.5 to 1 would allow movement along the X axis between 0.05 and 0.1 units which is half the vector length to the full vector length.

Hi all,
I've tried both methods and works well!
Using jointlimits the movements is smoother.

Thanks for your help Baxslash and Paul.
Regards.
