I have a ball, and a platform that is slanted at a 45 degree angle. I have an accelerate behavior applied to the ball that moves is down at 270 degrees at a rate of 200. When the ball collides with the platform, instead of bouncing like you would normally think a ball would, it kind of floats off rotating around a single point. It doesn't bounce realistic at all.

I'm new to this whole thing, so bear with me, but any help is appreciated.

.... is your acceleration moving down 270 degrees at a rate of 200 relative to the actor?

If so, then change it to relative to the scene

Thanks a lot guys, that did the trick! I don't know why, but that relative thing never made sense to me until you said change it to scene, lol. Now I understand what it's talking about.

Hi, i have kinda the same problem, i have a ball and a platform below at 45%, the ball has a change velocity behavior direction: 270 - relative to: scene, speed: 500
i already had relative to scene but when the ball falls and collide with the platform instead of going to the right like a real ball'd do, it goes up, like if the platform were at 0%
Any idea how can i fix that?
Thanks

These aren't the bounces you're looking for...

Is your restitution set to 1 on the platform? If so, it will bounce a LOT. Lower it toward 0 until you get the right bounce.
