Hi all, Any ideas on the best way to create a moving / flexible physics joint between two or more physical objects ? For example, create a joints that can be used to join the limbs of a ragdoll figure, or attach the wheels of a vehicle to its body..etc, similar to the Box2D joints (ie. Pivot, Distance, Piston, Friction, Weld, Wheel, Pulley, Touch, Rope, Gear joints) Many Thanks ---

There is currently no support for joints so you need to write a solver for what you need. @Ragnar_Svensson might have some ideas? ---

These are all good suggestions imo, and it’s nice to know that this is actually already in the Box2D engine. ---

I absolutely agree, joints the must have feather. I Hope for a soon integration. ---

+1 for joints, A lot of game ideas and mechanics are cut by the fact that there is no joints support in the engine. Please implement. ---

Hi, I have an idea of a game, where a character swings on a rope. I need to implement a rope. I really need joints to do this. If Defold has some other alternatives or best practice, please let me know. Thank you ---

Yes! Joints will be a useful feature. My vote here. 🙂 ---

We planned the next sprint (release) today. This sprint will not include any improvements to the physics system besides the synchronous ray cast functionality. We’re focusing a lot on the Facebook SDK upgrade and some other quite critical things. Next sprint will not contain much in terms of physics either. BUT, the sprint after that (ie in 4 weeks) we will do a physics focused sprint where the joints support will be included, as well as some other neat things such as exposing additional properties (configurable gravity anyone?). ---

+1 Could this gravity affect somehow particle fx? Beside of using its acceleration itself? 🙂 ---

> [@Pawel](#): > > Could this gravity affect somehow particle fx No, I’m afraid not. The gravity is solely for the 2D/3D physics system and the particles are not part of that. ---

> [@COCO](#): > > 7 weeks passed… I know. But on the other hand we have this in our current sprint (planned earlier today): ![02](https://forum-defold.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/2/21f322bdd382a51cb29a3141aa72d8e2d25a8886.png) There is a very high likelihood of joints being shipped within one or two releases. ---
