Vortex/tornado like wind

Post by roxlu »

Hi,

I'm wondering if someone can give me some pointers on how to implement
vortex like wind forces. I've done a test where I apply a wind force which
direction changes from 0-360 degrees. This kind of works but the thing is
that I need to constrain the object I want to make fly around.

When using

Code: Select all

applyCentralForce()
with the rotating wind vector
the objects fly out of screen or against a wall or something. I can connect each
object with a robe to a central axis but I don't think that's performance
wise a good idea.

Any ideas on how to implement this are more then welcome ^.^
