hi,

is it possible to delete phy rigid bodies in the middle of a program? i am trying to delete an object in my simulation after about fifteen seconds has passed, and i think im having problems with the timer too (im a noob at it).

im guessing its a bit more complex than

Yes but try to limit the number of objects deleted per loop.

As for the timer:



Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work. Practice is when something works, but you don't know why.
Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don't know why.

i cant get it to work. its in the main loop and instead of stopping an object it goes straight through. once i comment it out, 701 start blocking things again.

Obviously, once you delete a rigid body, it will no longer register for collision. Additionally, remember to place starttime = timer() were you want the 15 seconds to start.

The best solution is to post up your code, with an explaination on what you are trying to achieve, so that we can help you
