[ODE] gravity per object?

[George Birbilis]

why not just add some extra force to that body?

that is disable gravity for that body (I suppose on can do it somehow
without having to set mass=0 for that body), then update direction and
length for some virtual force attatched to the body

btw, is there any concept of force-fields in ODE?

also, can one do bodies that pull each other? (static electricity or
magnetism for example)
