Box2D Forums

I have Box2D bodies attached to objects that can scale, rotate, and translate in local space.

Besides the obvious, which would be causing a collision, is there any reason that I shouldn't call Set() on a shape in a fixture of a body that is currently active in the world?

Would altering a shape after the body containing it has been added to the world create an inconsistent state in any way?

Thanks

Although you may be able to get away with altering the shape in most cases, it's not the intended usage.
Replacing the fixture itself rather than just the shape would give you more reliable results and is not that much more work.

ok, thanks for the help.

After taking a look at the source though, that looks to be a bit of an expensive process considering my intended usage.. So I think I'll just set the scale at the time the body is added and leave it at that.

Thanks again
