physics.setGravity()

Description:

Sets the x,y components of the global gravity vector, in units of m/s2. The default is ( 0, 9.8 ) to simulate standard Earth gravity, pointing downwards on the y-axis.

Syntax:

physics.setGravity( gx, gy )

Example:

local function onTilt( event )
        physics.setGravity( 10 * event.xGravity, -10 * event.yGravity )
end
 
Runtime:addEventListener( "accelerometer", onTilt )

Parameters:

gx
Sets the global gravity vector in X direction, in units of m/s2.

gy
Sets the global gravity vector in Y direction, in units of m/s2.

Returns:

Nothing.
