| Hi all, any tips on ball rolling physics? John Pickford had this all worked out ages ago and the code was posted on these forums, however I think the forums have been trimmed since. Basically, if you roll a ball hard enough, it will roll up and over, then drop. Imagine a C shape and the ball: . As the ball rolls towards the shape: _ (_ . _ (_. It will curve round (if initially going fast enough) and come back the way it came, upside down. _ . (_ any tips? :) |

| Rob, I asked a similar question a while ago, have a look a Dark Eagles code, if you give the ball enough energy it will do what you wanted. http://www.blitzcoder.com/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/postdisplay.cgi?forum=Forum14&topic=000743 |

| I have an old project here which uses rolling ball physics. Most of the rolling ball code came from the archives way back when.  I have stripped the textures. Therefore the level looks a bit bare but it should be enough to get you going. Use the MOUSE to move the ball around. LMB=Jump RMB=Reset view Download Marble |

| Thanks Flynn & DE :) |

| Look up ^ |
| ||
| Thanks Syntax :D |
| ||
| Just remember with any even basic physics simulation you want you're objects transformation vector to be global. Or it kills the whole effect. |
| ||
| Thanks but I already have it working now :) I need it for the strangest thing (as always). |
| ||
| You need it so you can go up half-pipes? :) |
| ||
| yeah ;) |
