Recycling Problem!

Hey forum,
I am experimenting with a game similar to angry birds. Like in angry birds, when the character that is thrown stops, they disappear. However, I have my character respawn at the beginning.
To do this, I decided to recycle that actor. However, when it recycled back to the beginning, it begins to slowly drift downward. Why?
Thanks in advance,
iPwn

    @iPwnApplications ... I'd imagine the actor that you move back to the beginning may have some left over physics effecting it from when it was thrown. You may need to set its self.motion.linearvelocity x and Y to zero with a change attribute when it is moved back. Also the self.motion.angular.velocity to zero and it self.rotation to zero. That should reset it it motionless with no rotation and at the starting rototational position.

    hmm...tried it, and for some reason, it still drifts downward

    when it resets back, try constraing its x and y position to its initial postion, or try constrain its motion linear x and y to 0, or both. whatever works

    for some reason, the way I have it set up is weird... but using your two comments combined fixed it for me! thanks!
