Ball that defies bounciness and friction?

Asked by

Hello! I need some help.

When I make a ball, every time it rolls around it has no friction what so ever and just continually moves forward without stopping unless something gets it it's way.

I also have a problem where it doesn't bounce at all when it hits the ground. Does anyone know a solution to both of these problems?

The best way to do this is Custom Physical Properties.

These properties are, as you can guess, under any BasePart's properties. You could reduce the density to 0 or as low as possible as well as reduce the friction of the ball.

Then, increase the "Friction weight" and the "Elasticity Weight". You can honestly mess with all these settings 'til you find the perfect match.

Here's a Gif I made of my "Bouncy Ball".

For the ball bouncing just insert a body force into the ball that is a little lower than the balls weight (mess around with the y value to find it). Not sure about the friction (not expecting this to be accepted just want to help).

Alright, well I just found out how to fix bounciness before you replied. I would like a solution to the friction. az_iee 19 — 6y
