Is the bounceback always verticle or does it have to respond to the angle of the surface it hits ?

Well in that case how i normaly do it is store the balls x,y,z speeds in a vector and store the normal of the face you collided with in another vector, then I use thid function which i wrote to reflect to first vector.


Was that a bit heavy i can try and explain it better if you want ?

The code is just a function to reflect a vecor, you use it to help making the bounce...but i dont understand what you mean by " By the way the colision is all in one not spilt into peices"

You really don't need a physics wrapper to make an object bounce. This is the bit of the code that does it:

I don't use wrappers, dll's etc. so I can't help you with them. Really, though, I can't see how the bounce code above could be causing you so much problem. You're just reversing the vertical speed of the object when it hits the ground by multiplying it by -1. Or, to get it to lose some of its speed when it bounces, multiply by -0.8. It's that simple.
