Title: What does the physical material do in trigger info?
Post by: ryf9059 on September 08, 2013, 09:11:11 PM

Not really sure about what the physical material do even after reading the description, also don't know how to use it. Can someone explain a bit and give an example maybe?

Hi,

 Physical material helps you define how object colliding with this surface will behave. You may want to define a floor as sticky, or sticky ( think ice vs grass).

You likely want to set that up front during editing. In the case of trigger info, it's used to find out ( if you want ) about the material properties to know how to react based on the friction value of the colliding object. that's already some very advanced use of trigger info.

bye,
