Push Circles out from each other using p2.js

Help & Support
1

I’m having trouble making my physics bodies get pushed out from each other using the p2.js physics library with PlayCanvas integration. Has anyone figured out a solution to this? Currently, I check which bodies collide and then store them in a dictionary with the body’s id and have a list of any bodies that is intersecting, and then every frame I calculate the push force, but some of my bodies aren’t being pushed and I’m worried that my approach is expensive computational-wise and unnecessary. I have disabled Collision Response so that the circles can still send collision events but move through each other.

Thanks

Hi @machineman1357,

p2.js isn’t easy to debug because you can’t easily visualize the colliders. I had the same issue, with objects getting pushed out from each other when I was setting the initial position of an object inside another’s collider.

Try adding some simple box models to visualize your colliders in case it’s the same problem.
