Im trying to build a simple tower of cubes in DP but I dont want it to fall until acted upon. Unfourtnetly the tower randomly sways back and forth until it falls and I cant seem to find a command to stop it from moving when its loaded. Any help, thanks.

Try playing with the phy set skin width command by increasing the value and see if that helps.

You might also benefit from making a material with high friction, and assigning it to the cube rigid bodies as you make them

The skin width helped a lot. Another thing I was wondering is can you disable gravity for one object? Is there an online help file or something, the included one is kinda hard to search through and I never seem to be able to find what I'm looking for.

Rich to the rescue! I had the same problems so redid the help files (and now the AI ones also) to make them easier to use.
Edit:
That should be Trowbee to the rescue . doh

think you might find it quicker to use:-

phy make fixed joint ID,first_obj,second_obj

and

phy set joint break limits ID,Max_force,Max_torque

plus you must allow 0.1 when placing object on top of each other.
