How to make an object more bouncy.

[vidjogamer]

Hello, I have just started using Bullet and I am going through some tutorials.
I can not seem to figure out how to make objects bounce however. Could Someone please point me in the right direction? Links to decent tutorials would be much appreciated as well. Thanks!

You can make collision objects more bouncy by increasing their restitution value. Either with btCollisionObject::setRestitution() or by setting m_resitution in btRigidBody::btRigidBodyConstructionInfo when creating a rigid body.

The default value is 0. Setting it to 1 makes objects very bouncy. You probably want a value somewhere in between.
