Adding two joints to one body

[Lax]

Hi folks,

is it somehow possible to add two times the dCustomSlider slider to one body?
I want to move a spaceship on x, z-axis with limits. So I need two dCustomSlider slider, one for x-pin and another one for z-pin. But as soon, as I add them two times to the same body, my application will hang forever without a error message, but I see a warning in a thread:

warning!! bilateral joint duplication between bodied: 8 and 1
warning!! bilateral joint duplication between bodied: 8 and 1

Yes that's not allowed.

If you need to move a body in the x, z direction, that the y plane. You can use a plane 2d joint.

ok, but the plane2D has not limits. I need to limit the movement.

If it had limits, would it be what you need?

It is very eassy to subclass it and add limits to it.

[Lax]

Yes, Plane with limits would be great! Of course depending what the normal of the plane is. Like slider joints, e.g. minHorizontalLimit, maxHorizontalLimit, minVerticalLimit, maxVerticalLimit.

Ok I will make one with limits and post here later.

You can take it and paste it in you code the made changes to it if you want.

I assume the body does not rotate since you were trying to do it with sliders.

Hi Julio,

ok thanks! And your assumption is correct.
