How do I reduce the bounciness of a ball affected by gravity in .js?
Hi guys,
(Please see the picture attached) This is a ball catcher. I am having a problem with balls with a velocity hitting the rigidbody of the catcher and flying back out. Is there a way that we can reduce the bounciness of the balls when they hit this?
There is an invisible trigger above the catcher which counts the score. I have tried attaching a "reduce velocity" function to this to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

When your balls enter the trigger , set the mass value to a higher value.
function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
{
other.rigidbody.mass = 1000;
}
Note that 1000 is any number I suggested, test some values and comment what comes up with you.
that is a little weird. Just play with the Physic$$anonymous$$aterial
simply look at the doco page for "physicmaterial" to clearly see all the calls you can make in code.
