...like it is for SetSpritePhysicsForce() and SetSpritePhysicsImpulse().

it seems impossible for me to keep same aspect ratio of a sprite on all devices keeping it not stretched anyhow with default percentage based system - because of various aspect ratios of displays - and so sprite's size cannot be the same across devices. (usually I keep only sprite's height myself.)

also I don't know how to calculate precise multipliers to rotate sprites with different sizes with the same angular speed via said commands.

some code:

+ Code Snippet

setPhysicsGravity(0, 0)
setPhysicsDebugOn()

createSprite(1, createImageColor(255, 128, 128, 255))
setSpriteSize(1, 5, 5)
setSpriteOffset(1, 2.5, 2.5)

createSprite(2, createImageColor(128, 255, 128, 255))
setSpriteSize(2, 10, 5)
setSpriteOffset(2, 5, 2.5)

createSprite(3, createImageColor(128, 128, 255, 255))
setSpriteSize(3, 5, 10)
setSpriteOffset(3, 2.5, 5)

setSpritePositionByOffset(1, 50, 50)
setSpritePositionByOffset(2, 30, 50)
setSpritePositionByOffset(3, 70, 50)

for i = 1 to 3
    setSpritePhysicsOn(i, 2)
    setSpritePhysicsMass(i, 1)
    setSpritePhysicsAngularDamping(i, 0)
next

f as float
f = 0.5

m as float
m = 1

do
    setSpritePhysicsTorque(1, f)
    m = 5.82 // this is just an assumed multiplier, idk
    setSpritePhysicsTorque(2, f * m)
    m = 4.16 // you tell me
    setSpritePhysicsTorque(3, f * m)

    for i = 1 to 3
        print(getSpritePhysicsAngularVelocity(i))
    next

    sync()
loop

it should already but the default mass is changed with the scale of the sprite so you would need to set some values yourself if you want to override it - SetSpritePhysicsMass( iSpriteIndex, mass )

smallg, create a pair of sprites with different sizes and set the same mass to see you are not right

SLR,

Re: Mass, it might be "order-related"; see HERE.

Note where the order of the 2 commands are flopped which caused issue:

+ Code Snippet

...
This = CreateSprite(0)
...
    SetSpritePhysicsMass(This,20) 
    SetSpritePhysicsCanRotate(This,0) 
     
That = CreateSprite(0)
...
    SetSpritePhysicsCanRotate(That,0) 
    SetSpritePhysicsMass(That,20)

worth a shot?

not on my machine unfortunately. I've added some code to play with, see the first post.

so what are you seeing with the above code?
for me it looks like they all rotate around the same speed due to your modifiers, i assume you want them to all rotate the same speed without the modifiers?
but yes it does appear 2D physics ignores mass for rotation, its shouldn't but there we go

edit; this is the only way i could see to get it to work as expected - basically made the shape the same for all sprites and then made the density of their real shape have 0 weight.

setPhysicsGravity(0, 0)
setPhysicsDebugOn()
 
createSprite(1, createImageColor(255, 128, 128, 255))
setSpriteSize(1, 5, 5)
setSpriteOffset(1, 2.5, 2.5)
 
createSprite(2, createImageColor(128, 255, 128, 255))
setSpriteSize(2, 10, 5)
setSpriteOffset(2, 5, 2.5)
 
createSprite(3, createImageColor(128, 128, 255, 255))
setSpriteSize(3, 5, 10)
setSpriteOffset(3, 2.5, 5)
 
setSpritePositionByOffset(1, 50, 50)
setSpritePositionByOffset(2, 30, 50)
setSpritePositionByOffset(3, 70, 50)
 
 
SetPhysicsWallTop(0)
 
for i = 1 to 3
	 SetSpriteShapeBox(i,-2.5,-2.5,2.5,2.5,0)
	 AddSpriteShapeBox(i,-GetSpriteWidth(i)/2,-GetSpriteHeight(i)/2,GetSpriteWidth(i)/2,GetSpriteHeight(i)/2,0)
    setSpritePhysicsOn(i, 2)
    SetSpritePhysicsDensity(i,0,2)
    setSpritePhysicsMass(i, 1)
    setSpritePhysicsAngularDamping(i, 0)    
    
    //SetSpriteVisible(i,0)
next

f as float
f = 0.05
 
m as float
m = 1
 
do
 
    for i = 1 to 3
		 setSpritePhysicsTorque(i, f)
		 print(GetSpritePhysicsMass(i))
        print(getSpritePhysicsAngularVelocity(i))
    next
 
    sync()

that's my point.

oh, I see. it's a nice workaround.
but what about collisions, does it take external (bigger) shape for that and keep it moving according with properties of inner (smaller) one?

it does collide properly with the larger shape but as for how it reacts... not sure, would assume it uses the smaller shape as the larger one shouldn't have any mass - i only did a real quick test with a tiny object to make sure the larger shape still had a "physical" presence.
