Joint Index

[MUZZY]

How exactly do you get the index of a joint in game maker? I want to create a joint and delete it afterwards.

All the physics_joint_*_create() functions return the index of the created joint. You can store it in a variable:

joint_id = physics_joint_wheel_create(id, o_id, o_id.x, o_id.y, 0, 1, true, 10, 1, 15, 6, false);

...and then delete it afterwards:

physics_joint_delete(joint_id);

All the joint creation functions seem to return that index according to the manual.


So you'd do something like this:

myJoint = physics_joint_gear_create(inst1, inst2, joint_1, joint_2, ratio)

Thank you both for the quick replies!
