Friction in Box2d [closed]

Question

I am using Box2d for a topdown game. The "ground" is a series of tiles, where each tile is a static body with a sensor shape. Can I make friction take effect for this, even though the objects aren't really "colliding" with the ground?

If Box2d won't let me do this, I considered trying to implement my own by detecting what force is currently moving the object, and applying a force opposite to it, but I'm not quite sure how to detect that force.

Answer 1

Another way of doing this is to set linearDamping on your body. You could set this differently depending on the tile your object is on.
