I don't think you can directly but you could possibly create a dummy sprite, apply physics to that and then set the coordinates of the button to that of the dummy sprite.

I need input... What exactly are you trying to do?

You can't add physics to a virtual button but you could create a physics sprite and use it like a button.


this.mess = abs(sin(times#))

Buttons, are not part of the "game world" they are a put-on-top user interface, for devices who lacks physical buttons.

baxslash I'm trying to make a menu that will allow a player to control the main character and by touch buttons will activate the buttons function.( instead of the player touching the button with his finger, he will be touching the button with the main character.)

but what I gathered from this thread is that I need to make a dummy sprite and place it over the button. Knowing this I think I'll design my own buttons and import them has picture and set up the physics and the collision.

Yes, that should work.

The sprite replaces the virtual button, rather than overlaying it. I prefer this method (I don't use virtual buttons) because it is so much more flexible.

As AppGameKit have the Virtual Buttons but they can't have physic and they must be max 12 you can do what i done from the begin.
- Do an array struct called buttons
- Give a image for pressed and normal
- do a for in the loop that activate only if touch is pressed
- do a for that activate only if the button pressed is released
- fire the event for the button

Do what you want on this sprite with physic.

Long life to Steve!
