Math releated question..

[.:..:]

Whats the best way to transform a velocity to a new velocity releated to some ground normal change...
lets say you have a ball spinning on the ground, then it hits a slope and I want it start spinning up the slope with same velocity but without any bounches or something like that.
I know its possible to do it with vectors only using Cross and/or Dot, but I'm not very good with them.
Everyone I've asked so far have no idea with this one.

[Cheese]

I pretty much fail at math.

Code: Select all

Velocity -= 2 * ( Velocity dot HitNormal) * HitNormal;  

Should work for the velocity. (Code from RazorBlade.uc )
I'll have to think up something for the spinning part.

Ugh... but I didnt want it to bounch, just keep rolling on the ground.

[.:..:]

Oh Jeesus... who could have tought it was something so simple as

Code: Select all

Velocity -= ( Velocity dot HitNormal) * HitNormal;

That X2 there made it bounch off wall smilar to "MirrorVectorByNormal( vector Vect, vector Normal );" function, but everything between 1-2 gives the bounching angle.
