Magnetic lifter

[DanieleAlberti22]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to simulate an industrial crane with a magnetic lifter.
I tried using "gs.engine.force_fields.Point" with large "strength" and different "falloff_pow" values. The field activates, but rigid boxes are not affected at all (even with very high strength). From the docs it looks like "Point" applies an acceleration field, but maybe it only works for particles/fluids, not rigid bodies?

As a workaround I tested attaching boxes via "weld" constraints when they are within a distance threshold. That “works” for pick & place, but it feels more like teleportation — the box does not get pulled in, it just suddenly sticks.

Is there a supported way in Genesis to make "Point" (or any force field) affect rigid bodies?
If not, what is the recommended approach for simulating a magnetic lifter with rigid objects?
Any example code would be very helpful.

Thanks a lot!
