Discussion: HOW do I control unit bouce?

[smoth]

When units "fall" out of transports or are tossed by impulse they bounce. I don't want this. How can I stop it from happening? does the engine support that?

+1 to mostly inelastic collisions between ground and units.

Most of that energy should converted to work in unit damage and ground deformation anyway.

edit: I'm only geeking some physics, not suggesting that collisions must cause ground deformation, although the option to do that would be cool too.

BA has a unit_air_release_manager.lua thing to controll units falling from destroyed transports.

gadget:UnitUnloaded also gets called for units whose transport died, so should be possible to check how high the unit is above ground and softly movectrl it downwards like a spacerock.

Though UnitEnteredAir() & UnitLeftAir() never seem to trigger for me.

smoth has a point though.. borked physics are funny, but still borked.
