can someone help with brick game ball physics

Hipster_Owl_Studios

hi im working on a brick game and the physics for my ball seem to be off! heres the situation once my ball spawns and collides with a wall it just goes faster and faster till it just bounces off the game!. how can i make my ball actor bounce at a constant rate? any help would be great thanks.

p.s i have tried looking at the gs template but i get nothing? i cant understand the logic they used and every time i try the same it doesn't do anything?

have you tried turning down restitution of the ball and increasing its density a bit?

restitution is basically bounciness

if there is still a problem, try turning it down for the wall too

i haven't made a brick game so im not sure if restitution is the best thing to use, im sure someone will pitch in and confirm soon - otherwise can use velocities instead of restitution when objects collide [if nothing helps!]

ok thanks i will try that!

constrain attribute - magnitude(self.linearvelocityX,self.linearvelocityY) too the set speed (EX: 250)

@next gen could you explain more what you mean on that formula i cant see to code it

Hey edward01,

Just a tip:

- Are you using which Behavior? Change Velocity OR Acceleration to get your "ball" or wahtever your using to crash the blocks?

Btw I recommend using the Change Velocity as if youre using the Acelleration it would be letting your ball become a flashing only on the screen.

See yah,
