How to reduce the bouceness of a simulated physics object?

[WDRK23 (WOODREK)]

Hi, I made a hover with scene components, it works fine but when I land it will bounce too much.
I want to reduce the bounce somehow, but I can’t figure out how.

Physical Materials give you Restitution. Example:

Is there a way to alter physics to effect only 1 or 2 planes?

Aye, physics does need tweaking, indeed! Not sure how you do the barrel tossing, atm but if this was in the player: [image] [it’s the default cylinder that is oriented not as we need - hence the Up vector] and this in the barrel: [image] [the directions are weirdly hard-coded here due to time-constraints] we could get a somewhat convincing: When it comes to tweaking - here’s a kickstarter on physical materials: create a new one: [image] double click it to open,…

In short: this setting controls how much energy is preserved on hit. At 1 you’d be getting full transfer, 0 would mean the energy is fully absorbed. Any object can have any setting, and the results can be combined, too, where the hitting object accounts for the surface’s properties. Creating a bouncy rubber ball landing in a sand pit should be quite feasible.

Yes, but in this case I m using line traces to add force to the object so the object doesn t hit the ground. I tried, I put 0 and it s the same problem.
I think there must be some math to absorb the damping of the object in the scene component.

• add dampening to the component
• implement vector springs
• look into the experimental Physics Control component
