Rigidbody2D -changing bodyType to Static in runtime

Hey! Is it possible to change the Rigidbody2D body type from dynamic to static in runtime in order to prevent affecting the object by gravity?

 

I tried the same . Unfortunately, it's not working so I ended up creating my own physics using HitBox I would suggest the same for you.

 

Thanks!

 

I know this might be a little late at this point but it might be useful for others still that search the forums. I personally just save the component data of the rb, remove it and then re-add it with the same values except I get the body type from a reference entity that only has a rigidbody2d component with the desired body type value. Here's the code that I use. I have a component "ChangeBodyType" that only has an entityReference field.

Code (JavaScript):

1. this.world.forEach([ut.Entity, ut.Physics2D.RigidBody2D, ChangeBodyType],(entity, rigidBody, changeBodyType) => {
2.                 let friction = rigidBody.friction;
3.                 let restitution = rigidBody.restitution;
4.                 let density = rigidBody.density;
5.                 let freezeRotation = rigidBody.freezeRotation;
6.  
7.                 let bodyType = this.world.getComponentData(changeBodyType.ReferenceRigidBody, ut.Physics2D.RigidBody2D).bodyType;
8.  
9.                 this.world.removeComponent(entity, ut.Physics2D.RigidBody2D);
10.                 this.world.addComponent(entity, ut.Physics2D.RigidBody2D);
11.                 let newRigidBody = this.world.getComponentData(entity, ut.Physics2D.RigidBody2D);
12.                 newRigidBody.bodyType = bodyType;
13.                 newRigidBody.friction = friction;
14.                 newRigidBody.restitution = restitution;
15.                 newRigidBody.density = density;
16.                 newRigidBody.freezeRotation = freezeRotation;
17.                 this.world.setComponentData(entity, newRigidBody);
18.             })

I hope this can still help someone
