[ODE] Holding bodies like in HL2

[Daniel Huser]

I don't have much ODE experience yet, but maybe you could actually hold
the object (after pulling it towards you as described in the How-To)
using a Hinge (with low and hi-stops of maybe +/- 0.05). Then you could
keep checking the joint error and if the error exceeds a certain value,
you could destroy the joint, which should nicely simulate some kind of
HL2-behaviour.

Should something like that work in ODE?

This all, of course, assumes you're actually moving your player around
using forces.

You say instead of dBodySetPosition I should:
1) disable gravity for a body;
2) add force in direction from current body position to desired one?
