avoid gravity and rubber

[Psychophanta]

Hello, I have got a 0 gravity , I have tried to do collissions with some objects , and after collisions I have noticed every object acquire lower and lower speed ... until it stops any movement.
Any trick to maintain the speed and rotation of an entity?
Thanks in advance.

If you create your bodies, you have to set the Restitution and the Friction values.
SetEntityAttribute().

For the conservation of velocity (or energy) you have to set Restitution = 1 and Friction = 0.
But be carefully with such settings. In physical simulations it more stable to have restitution < 1 and frictions > 0.

Sorry, but it is not so simple as you can test with this:

use this

Code: Select all

SetEntityAttribute(varilla,#PB_Entity_LinearSleeping,0)
SetEntityAttribute(varilla,#PB_Entity_AngularSleeping,0.0)

[Psychophanta]

use this

Code: Select all

SetEntityAttribute(varilla,#PB_Entity_LinearSleeping,0)
SetEntityAttribute(varilla,#PB_Entity_AngularSleeping,0.0)

Waaaaa!
Comtois = my Hero

Thanks!

Hi again Comtois.
After doing that, and after bar is in movement, how can i get linear velocity or angular velocity of the bar?
I tried it with GetEntityAttribute() and several atributes to get it like #PB_Entity_LinearVelocity, #PB_Entity_LinearSleeping, but i get 0.0 every time...

[DK_PETER]

but i get 0.0 every time...

I don't get 0.0 values. (on windows)

You are right DK_PETER,
my problem was i made a collision a ball with the bar, and in the main loop i stupidly retrieved the result of the bar attributes only one time (just after the ball impulsation), and now i've corrected: I retrieve the attribute of the bar one time per loop.

Thanks.
