I'm working on a project where I have cubes that roll around randomly like dice. However, I want to be able to force which side they land on, and of couse still have it look random and natural. Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Try offsetting the center of the mass, that should make the side it lands on very predictable.

Hallowed are the ori.

thanks for the help dark coder. clever solution. my only concern is if offsetting the mass would ALWAYS produce the desired result, or just bias it towards the result. the game generates a random number and displays it using the cube's sides, so the right number would always have to show.

if offsetting the mass wouldnt work - i was wondering if maybe the EZRotate plugin would have functionality that could accomplish it?
