Okay, so I'm trying to make a "trampoline" type material.

From what I've seen thus far, the restitution value gauges from 0.0-1.0, where 0.0 means no energy is reflected back into a collision and 1.0 means all energy is reflected.

Here the setup I have for my "trampoline" material:


I set the restitution to 10... so why is the material still absorbing energy from an impact? I figured it would reflect back 10x the amount of energy.

in the SDK the highest values they recommend is 0.0 (no bounce) - 1.0, any higher and they say it will not work as predicted.

Dark Physics makes any hot drink go cold.

Alright, that sucks... but I found a workaround to get the trampoline working. Thanks for the info.
