Hi guys. So I'm making a bowling game, with realistic bowling spheres. I made it so they hook when they touch a friction part. However, I want these spheres to be able to hook more, or to allow me to modify them with unique effects. (Curve earlier, more powerful angular curve) I adjusted their FrictionWeight and Friction. These are the only stats I can modify, and I mean, it's hard to explain but can I use a bodyforce to enhance these stats so the ball curves even more with a stronger reaction? Because using only these stats just won't cut it--they have a maximum amount or something.



Thanks!

Like, can I add a bodyforce or something to enhance the power of the hook of the #### #### ### #### hits a friction part??

Adding a bodyforce is a good option. In real life, the curve of the ball does add a force towards where the ball is curving.

friction weight is the influence of that friction compared to the other

so if part A has 1 friction, 2 friction weight
and part B has 2 friction, 1 friction weight

calc = 1 * 2 + 2 * 1 = 4 --get total

weight = 2 + 1 = 3 --find weight

and now your friction between them is 4 / 3 --factor in weight

Interesting Wunder. Based on ## experiments, ### more friction weight ### ###### ### #### curves (smooth-arc shaped) and ### ##### ### ######## ### ###### ### #### curves. But I wanted to modify their stats even further, because I might wanna make a ball that curves more than ### ##### ###### and there comes to a point of where I can't add any other stat on ### Physical Properties to make ### ball more aggressive. So I figured I could do a bodyforce or something. But how should I do that exactly? Thanks

use body force maybe but roll it at an angle

or use angular velocity to make it constantly rotate a bit to the right or left

I set the AngularVelocity of the bowling sphere so that the PhysicalProperties are what determine the strength of the bowling sphere's curve.


However I figured maybe a bodyforce or something could create a cool new effect for a stronger curve or something, seeing to it that there comes a point of which modifying the custom properties will not make it curve any more based on the given angular velocity.

Bingo. BodyThrust was what I needed. It increases the pulling force of the ball when it hits a friction part. C:

Thanks to all for the replies

Actually that doesn't really do the trick, because it has a location property..

I suggest BodyForce.

I tried that but it makes the ball go more to one direction regardless if the ball is sliding on the non friction part. But nevertheless it works better than before. Thanks
