[SOLVED] How to change mass of rigidbody on key press

Help & Support

How would I make it so if the shift key is pressed the mass of the rigid body decreases to a given value. BUT! if the shift key is released the mass switches back to its default.

I assume you already know how to detect a key press. You can change the mass of a rigidbody like the way below, I guess.

this.entity.rigidbody.mass = 100;

// initialize code called once per entity
Sprint.prototype.initialize = function() {

};

// update code called every frame
Sprint.prototype.update = function(dt) {
    if(this.app.keyboard.isPressed(pc.KEY_SHIFT)){
        this.entity.rigidbody.mass = 75;
    }
    else{
        if(this.app.keyboard.wasReleased(pc.KEY_SHIFT)){
            this.entity.rigidbody.mass = 100;
        }
    }
};

This is what I have so far, is this correct?
