Hanging and dangle an object

Physics
1

Hi everybody!
Does someone know if it’s possible to create a pivot or a constriction point and hanging an object like a rope or a picture on a wall?

I tried simulating a sort of hook, but unfortunately it’s impossible to create groups of objects with the collision edge more complex then 4 sides

If you hit the "Command" key on an element you'll see a center point that you can drag to set the rotation center of the element.

Cool thanks.
but I was wondering if it’s possible doing something like this:

but not animating it by the timeline, but using gravity and physics

Not that I know of, sorry

It’s possible. I build something like this with the accelerometer that changes the rotation. The only thing is that the rope is a long static thing and it wil not bounce.

Hi Renè,
It could be enough for me!
In fact I don’t need to animate a rope, but just stuff hanging on a wall.

If you find the your project, can you please attach it here to help me and the next one?
Thanks!

You can achieve this with the device orientation, more about that overhere.

Hi Renè thanks a lot, but apparently I have not access to your project page.
“Sorry, you don’t have access to that topic!”

Do you know perhaps why, or I should ask to an administrator?

Thanks

You can download a example project overhere:
lamp-device-orientation.zip (13.5 KB)

It uses eventData.beta so it only works in landscape mode.

Hi Renè,
thanks it’s working perfectly.

I was just trying to use it in portrait but the behaviour looks weird.

window.addEventListener('deviceorientation', function(eventData) {
	var vBeta = eventData.alpha
	var vWindowOrientation = window.orientation;
	if (vWindowOrientation == 0){
		vBeta = vBeta * 1;
	};
	vLamp.style.webkitTransform = 'rotate(' + vBeta + 'deg)';
});

Works great overhere

In portrait it works much better using "gamma"
Really I don’t know why

Hi Everyone!

I was curious to know if you may know of a way to use device orientation to control a timeline?

Thanks!

Do you mean device tilt? Or switching from portrait to landscape?

Hey Daniel,

Device tilt to advance or reverse a timeline. Much in the same way the device tilt can move the lamp.

Thanks!!
