Body shouldn't bounce

[Barratator]

Hello,
i'm trying to let fall a sphere down a ground. But when both rigidbodys collide, the sphere should NOT bounce a few units in the air again.

I already tried to set the restitution of the sphere and the ground to zero, but it still recoil.

What can I do?


Special thanks,

Try, if this helps:

Code: Select all

dynamicsWorld->getSolverInfo().m_splitImpulse = true;

[Barratator]

YEAH! It works!

Thanks you! =)

Interesting. Does anyone know exactly what m_splitImpulse does and why it fixes that issue?

[marios]

Glad it worked. m_splitImpulse when enabled removes effect of instant separation of overlapping objects, instead that, we get smooth, slow and not excessive separation

Ah, very good to know! The only way I knew to avoid excessive repulsion before was to set a high linear damping for a rigid body, which obviously is not appropriate for general motion (though in my case happened to be fine). Thanks marios.
