I’m trying to get my animation to smoothly move one position to another, as this video. Here is the physics I am trying to replicate:

My physics puzzles (BTW the create physics world and create rigid bodies puzzles are in another tab):

my 2nd attempt to makehpysics puzzle:

The “Player-Petra” is the empty cube which all my character’s objects are parented to. Meaning in theory the parented objects should move with the parent, across y-axis. But the meshes don’t move.

Puzzles and JS. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of meaning at all.

Good answer, but can I move this without a wall? Also, can I put “Kinetic” instead of “Dynamic”, or “Force” instead of “impulse”?

I tried, albeit with “kinetic” instead of “dynamic”, with an empty cube parent instead of a single object, and “Force” instead of impulse, yet didn’t work

Even following your answer didn’t work for me.

Why do I need a plane with rigid body static as walls to enable the force/impulse, for the dynamic body?

Under “create rigid body” puzzle, why doesn’t Kinetic work like Dynamic, and, under “apply” puzzle, how is force different that impulse?

You need static or kinematic bodies (the plane in this case) at least to prevent dynamic bodies from falling down under the influence of the gravity force. Static and kinematic bodies are collisions for dynamic bodies.

A force pushes, an impulse hits.

I see. Makes sense. So btw, I need either static or kinetic bodies, if there are dynamic ones? What if I have a character hovering? How to have it defy the gravity?

Also, I noticed when I used kinetic instead of dynamic, there was no movement.
