How to remove all physical bodies from physical

I'm working on a corona project and I now want to remove all bodies from the physics.

I see it has only a method to remove a body but not all

physics.removeBody()

I need to remove all, like that

 physics.removeAllBodies()

Who can give me a way to do that.

Thank you

Solution

  • The only way to do that is to add each display body to a physicsBodies table whenever you add to physics: 

    local physicsDisplayObjects = {}

...

function scene:createScene(event)
    ...
    local displayObject1 = ... -- display object
    physics.addBody(displayObject1, ...) -- transform it into a physics body
    table.insert(physicsDisplayObjects, displayObject1)
    ...
end

...

function something()
    ...
    for i,obj in ipairs(physicsDisplayObjects) do 
        physics.removeBody(obj) -- revert obj into regular display object
    end
    physicsDisplayObjects = {} -- clear
    ...
end
