[ODE] moving a Object

[Kjus Lasse]

Hi,

okay it is possible to move Objects.
My current approach is:
1. Disable Gravity (dBodySetGravityMode)
2. set Position (dGeomSetPosition)
3. Enable Gravity (dBodySetGravityMode) again

Now I understand what you mean with "applying forces". The problem when I grap an Object and throw it away, everything is fine till I enable Gravity. Then the Object falls straight down to the ground, but I want a nice curve.  
How can I realize this? Do I have to calculate resulting forces by my own?

Kjus

You can disable gravity on a per-object basis - see the docs for dBody. 
You may also want to try applying forces to your object to make it move 
instead of setting its position directly.

Cheers,
