Hey folks!

Trying out a small app using 2D Physics, but running into an issue, I have 2 sprites on the screen and I'm trying to make Sprite A. repel Sprite B.
IE - The closer Sprite A gets to Sprite B; Sprite B runs away.

Using physics is completely new to me though, I've got Physics On, so the sprites will fall to the bottom of the screen by default and I'm fairly confident that what I need is a force pushing against a sprite based on the position of the Sprite A.

I was thinking something like, I'm just not sure what I would use to calculate X,Y as the opposing force? Thoughts?
SetSpritePhysicsForce (SpriteB GetSpriteXByOffset(SpriteA),GetSpriteYByOffset(SpriteA),X,Y)
StepPhysics(1.0/60.0)

Thanks All

Rob

like this ? (1 and 2 is your sprite pos.)
dx=x2-x1
dy=y2-y1

l = sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy)
if l<1.0 then l=1.0

this n xy give you a value bewteen -1 and 1 you can multiply with a force value
nx = -dx / l
ny = -dy / l

this is how you set what sprites do with physics
SetSpritePhysicsOn (spr,1=static, 2=dynamic, 3=kinematic )

the gravity can be controlled with
SetPhysicsGravity(x,y)
x - The X component of the gravity vector.
y - The Y component of the gravity vector
for no gravity SetPhysicsGravity(0,0)

The bounciness and how they interact with other physics
SetSpritePhysicsRestitution( iSpriteIndex, restitution(between 0 and 1) )
a number greater than 1 is not recommended
