Enabling/disabling gravity for single RigidBody

[dafrina]

So I want to create a little isometric sidescroller game. I envisioned drone enemies that just move on the horizontal plane and once you hit them, gravity should be enabled and they should fall to the ground.

im having a hard time to get this working as it should.

So my first idea was to use a state for the RigidBody type prop, and switch it on on a delay to test it. But that doesnt seem to work. Ive found this issue: #314 so it seems like a bug and that this should work.

Any other idea how I could achieve the enabling/disabling of gravity for a RigidBody programmatically?

const Drone = ({ pos, index }) => {
  const [type, setType] = useState("kinematicPosition");

  useEffect(() => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      console.log("Enable gravity");
      setType("dynamic");
    }, 5000);
  }, []);

  return (
    <RigidBody
      key={index}
      friction={1}
      colliders="cuboid"
      mass={10}
      type={type}
      restitution={0.6}
    >
      <mesh
        position={pos}
        castShadow
      >
        <boxGeometry args={[30, 30, 30]} />
        <meshStandardMaterial attach="material" color="#0ff" />
      </mesh>
    </RigidBody>
  );
};

Interestingly, I tried using a state to change gravityScale from 0 to 1, which doesnt work either. But if I use a a very small number like 0.0001 it falls so slow that they basically dont move and if I set it to 1 it fall down. Feels like a very hacky workaround though
