Disabling gravity in a 2d game

[misterjuly]

Hello, I'm following a tutorial on how to make ladders for a 2.5d platform, though I'm modyfying it for completely 2d. However, I'm having a problem. I can't use the "use gravity" action because it requires me to put a normal rigid body (not rigid body 2d) on it and there is no 2d equivalent. As a result, I cannot disable gravity. I suppose hypothetically I could make everything not in 2d (box colliders, etc.), but I'm sure there is a better solution, but I just don't know it. Is there a way to disable gravity without using the "use gravity" action? Let me know. Thanks!

I haven't tried creating a ladder (that sounds cool) but if you type gravity into the action browser there is a Set Gravity 2d Scale action (Just set Gravity Scale to 0 and its off, set it back to 1 and its on .

Also on the actual game object when you click Add Component type rigidbody and you should see Rigidbody 2D.

hope the ladder system is cool.

Hi.
As LuminRabbit suggested, "Set Gravity 2d Scale"
It will set the gravity on a 2d object.

You might also want to use "Set Rigid Body 2d Constraints"
if when on ladder, the player is not allowed to go left/right.
