Fiction, Density..et

The_Gamesalad_Guru

I'm doing tests with friction density and other physics. I have opjects that spawn and are thrown like a ball up and then arc down. I have been able to make random patterns using velocity and target X Y positions. But I'd like to add more variety using friction et.. I see in the defenitions that friction is based on interaction with other actors. Is this an automatic thing that when one actor touches another that friction is applied?

You can't change physics settings at runtime. This may help you with regards to friction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction which is surely always about the interaction of two entities

And you will find some very counter intuitive results as there are still major bugs within the physics implementation.

Thanx @Rob2 I noticed that even presetting the drag and such doesn't seem to have any major effect except when you crank up the density. I tried adding some invisible actors with different frictions to see how they affect my actor as it comes in contact, not much of dramatic difference.
