Setting the mass on a Rigidbody2D via script - broken?

Hey folks - I've asked this question here too, but just in case that gets ignored, I thought I'd post it here as well.

Basically, I need to create some 2D physics objects dynamically, so I'm trying to set the mass of my Rigidbody2Ds via script. Neither of these two approaches work:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. [RequireComponent(typeof(Rigidbody2D))]
3. public class TestRigidBody : MonoBehaviour
4. {
5.     void Start()
6.     {
7.        GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().mass = 0.1f;
8.     }
9. }
10.  

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class TestRigidBody : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.     void Start()
5.     {
6.        Rigidbody2D newRigidBody = this.gameObject.AddComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
7.        newRigidBody.mass = 0.1f;
8.     }
9. }
10.  

I can set the gravityScale, drag amounts etc. fine, but the mass always remains at 1. Altering the mass manually via the inspector works as you'd expect.

What gives? I've boiled it down to literally the simplest possible scenario, so unless I'm doing something incredibly stupid, it seems a bit broken...

 

I don't think you're missing something, because I have just encountered the exact same thing. I also tried setting it during the Start function, in case it was getting reset some time after creation but before that, but it still doesn't work, as doesn't setting it during "Update". So I think it's a bug.

 

Yep, doesn't work - bug report it.

 

Cheers guys - thought so, I'll stick in a bug
