We have a particle effect and want it to be affected by the gravity of the PhysicsWorld of the scene.

How can we achieve this?

Hi,

you could just connect the gravity property of the particle with the gravity property of PhysicsWorld, like in the following example:

Scene {
PhysicsWorld {
id: physicsWorld
}

Particle {
gravity: physicsWorld.gravity
}
}

I did as a fact try that myself and I tought it doesn’t work. Well and I just figured out that it works indeed, but the particles seem to be very light. Meaning, they are not affected by the gravity as much as I would like them to be. With a short lifespan they seem to don’t even move at all

Hi,

you can just multiply the gravity of the Particle element like the following:

Scene {
 PhysicsWorld {
  id: physicsWorld
 }

 Particle {
  gravity: physicsWorld.gravity*10
 }
}

 

Or like that if you want to scale x and y independently:

gravity: Qt.point(physicsWorld.gravity.x*10, physicsWorld.gravity.y*20)

Cheers, Chris
