How do I disable physics behaviour for just one Object?

Hello,

iam trying to create a stacking box game where iam using the physics behaviour in construct3. Iam now wondering if iam able to deactivate the physics behaviour for just one object. Iam stacking the boxes (same spirte, object) on top of each other. It seems, when disabling some functions it will affect all the objects.

The problem is: If there are a lot of boxes stacked on top of each other, the physics behaviour seems to hassle with those objects. And i have to move the ground down the Y-Axis to make this game "endless". When moving the ground (all boxes are joined to the previous one) there wobbeling (moving horizontally). The goal is to deactivate the physics behaviour from objects that are for example 4 steps previous the actual objec, or just generate a timeout for those boxes when moving the ground, to prevent bouncing...

Another question: Would you use the physics behaviour for this? It has some nice wobbeling effects, when stacking some objects over each other. Think this cant be achieved just without this behaviour.

Thanks for your inputs!

Disabling physics for bottom boxes would probably not be a good idea, because other boxes will start falling through them. You can check if boxes are sleeping, and set them immovable.

The problem with Box2D engine is that touching physics objects continue to wobble and shift a little and don't want to go to sleep. So you might need to check X/Y velocity and if these values are very small, set them as immovable.

Just asking, but wouldn't another solution be to destroy objects that are lower than the bottom of the screen (to prevent lag from too many objects), and set the objects close to the bottom of the screen immovable to prevent too much wobbling?
