Setting linear velocity and angular velocity of a kinematic body (#4170) (SOLVED)

I think it boils down to efficiency in the end. This is a good summary: Static bodies are unmoved. Kinetic bodies are moved based on their previous velocities. Dynamic bodies are moved based on their previous velocities, gravity, applied forces, applied impulses, masses, damping, and the restitution and friction values of their fixtures when they experience collisions. Practically, in Defold, I don’t think it’s possible to remove gravity from a dynamic body. This means that dynamic bodies …
