newWeldJoint with moving bodies

[zell2002]

i have Body A (player), and want to attached Body B to it.
i have this :

Code: Select all

sekf.joint = love.physics.newWeldJoint(
	self.Body, other.Body, 
	self.Location.x, self.Location.y)

the joint is created as i can see it being drag (in the debugs), but Body B just falls to the floor, and when i move Body A, Body B doesnt follow.
(Their respected Joints move with them)

I've tried setting Body B's density 0, 1, 0.5, 0.000000003
ive tried setting Body B's phys type to : static, dynamic, and kinematic

Body A, has a density of 1 and a phys type of "dynamic"

when i spawn Body B into the world Ive tried setting its location to be same location as Body A and somewhere else

I get the same results regardless of what I try

Am I wrong in assuming that Body B should attach to Body A and thus follow its position ?

Are you sure that both bodies already exist at the time you build the joint? It should definetely work like this usually. You should upload your code.

i would really like to upload my code, but its currently a bit of a mess. i will try and tidy up before i post

i think both bodies already exist, if they didnt the call to .newWeldJoint() would throw an error ? (I assume..)
the process for everything is as follows:

BodyA exists

-- player input (f4) - calls function foo()

function foo()
createBodyB()
createJoint()
end

** edit
newRopeJoint() works as expected :S

** solved

the child body i was attaching had bFixedRotation = true, changing this to false fixed everything
