How to change the static body position?

[okluoquan]

Hello,
I want to change some static bodys' position,and there are two way.
One is removing the old one , and creating a new body, then adding the new shape.It wastes lots of time in creating bodys and shapes.My Body and Shape's number is fixed(60).
The other way is changing the bodys' position and using cpSpaceRehashStatic(space).
cpSpaceRehashStatic(space) is wasting lots of time.
Can I have other selections?
thanks,

You shouldn't move a static body. Static means that it doesn't move or change.

Instead create an infinite mass "rogue" body. cpBodyNew(INFINITY, INFINITY), not cpBodyNewStatic(). Don't call cpSpaceAddBody() because you don't want it to apply gravity. Attach normal shapes using cpSpaceAddShape(), not cpSpaceAddStaticShape(). Then you can move the body whenever you want. When you change the position, remember to change the velocity to match so that the collisions work right.

There is also cpSpaceRehashShape() to move a single static shape, but you don't want to do this every frame.
