Physics Object with no rotation

[gothboiclique]

Hi, say I have a barrel (just using the built in prefab). I want the object to fall on the ground when it is in the air but I don't want the barrel to fall on its side. How can I prevent rotation of this object from physics?

 

Thanks!

You could modify the slider script to apply gravity force on the object at start and once the object collides with the world, you release the joint.

A slider joint can be used to make the object go straight up and down.

Both of these appear to be good ideas, I will try to implement them soon! Thank you for your help.
