Chipmunk Physics

I'm trying to reset the forces applied to a body, but calling this function doesn't seem to do it, as the forces are still present after this call. Is there anything I'm missing? I've looked through all the documentation and searched these forums and I've not found any specific information or cases of it not working for others.

Cheers

The function is trivially simple. I'm not sure how it could go wrong exactly. Try setting a breakpoint in the debugger for cpBodyResetForces(). Maybe you are just resetting the forces on the wrong body?

Not sure if this is the problem, but if your trying to stop the object. you need to call cpBodyResetVelocity too.

Never heard of cpBodyResetVelocity(), are you using a wrapper or something? Presumably such a thing would just do: body->v = cpvzero; body->w = 0.0f;

er, oops. Nah i'm not using a wrapper i was just wrong. I was using cpBodySetVel(body, cpvzero)

cpBodySetVel did the trick. Thanks.
