I can't seem to find an example of a simple bouncing ball. Imagine the "fish_emit", however in stead of

var tumblespeed[3] = 5,0,0;

I would like to add gravity (arc trajectory - depending on tilt or other variable) - and the ball bounces on the floor or off walls until it slows down (friction).

I have looked at some grenade/catapult scripts however I can't get some to work - and some are just models of an animated arc (no physics involved).

If I must - I will try to rewrite the equation of a ball from some physics formulas - however I am still a newbie at WDL code. I understand the code well - but have trouble with context/formatting/ WDL concepts. However - I know it will take me like 10-20 hours to get it right from a few scraps of code and a physics example.

Basically if someone has encountered this problem - or has a script of a bouncing ball - or could point me into an example - I would return the favor and time spent to help me. My strong points are graphics, textures, and models and animation. If you need a quick logo or model - that is well worth the effort for me.

Thanks

heres a bouncing ball demo

Hi Realspawn.

Thanks for helping me out! I was able to look at the demo - and see how a bouncing ball could possibly be made. This is a good start for me - and I understand a little more about how to make happen what I am trying to accomplish.

If you ever need any help - like custom made models, textures, graphics, let me know. I look up to you as rolemodel and a big contributer to the 3DGS community. If I can help out with one of you demos or whatever - I would gladly help because I believe you are doing a great job for alot of people.

Anyhow back to this code - I just opened a can of worms - now the madness begins.

Wow, I wish I was good enough to have someone make models for me .
