Limit velocity of the ball[SOLVED]

[Marakesch]

Good day everyone,
I have a ball, which one have acceleration by add force/impulse, when it touch platform. Problem is how to limit its velocity in any direction, when it reach some value. Thanks in advance

I think you should be able to do this by:
GetVelocity then clamp via Vector3ClampMagnitude and the SetVelocity.

Hi,

 yes exactly.

I am currently porting the asteroid Unity network sample, and the ship has velocity clamping, and I use this technic, however just slightly different in the following sense:

 for effective physics control, actions should perform on "FixedUpdate", not a regular Updates, and so vector3ClampMagnitude isn't featuring the option to use FixedUpdate.

 so I use Vector3ClampMagnitudeAdvanced from the Ecosystem which allows for clamping during FixedUpdate which results in a better more reliable system.

Bye,

 Jean

Thanks for your replys, i will try do it. Before found solution by code, thanks anyway for your answers.
