balls

[cassius]

Hi

Is there any way to make a ball bounce using physics in the editor?

I can make them float like a balloon but not bounce.

Perhaps you can record the velocity when it impacts on the ground and calculate that into a force that is being added to the ball to send it back in to the air.

 

so perhaps something like:

• record impact velocity
  
• divide the velocity by gravity
  
• add the calculated value as a force to the ball

Use the following lua script for you ball:

 

require("scripts/class")
local class=CreateClass(...)

function class:CreateObject(model)
local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)

model:SetElasticity(3.0)
end

 

The documentation says that only values from 0.0 to 1.0 can be passed to SetElasticity, but anything below

1.0 will not make the ball bounce nicely.

i saw the title and i lol'd

 

but seeing as you mean the bouncy kind, I'm sorry I cannot help

[macklebee]

so you were going to help with the other kind?

Thanks for the answers including the naughty ones.I will try that lua script

[cassius]

That worked fine dadonic exept I found an elasticity of 2.0 suited me better as the ball stops bouncing quicker.

Glad it worked for you
