I am trying to get a sphere to move around a pong table using physics been trying to fix this for days now and i can’t figure it out.
Hello,
If your shpere movements are physics based you could use Add impulse/force function in blueprint (make sure that simulate physics is enabled).
EDIT: here’s a small demonstration how to do so :
you also can check this [question][2] for other techniques regarding your case
its not a player based ball though its just a physics object that the players hit around
Still the same concept I believe !
Instead of controlling it with movements inputs, you can apply force directly to your sphere when something happens(event,inside loop,condition…etc.)
Note that force here is a vector so for example if your up vector is Z you can apply a force vector like this (0,0,1500).
Adding force to an object is good for adding a burst overtime
if you want a shot (one time instant burst) then you should go with Add Impulse function
EDIT: sorry for not explaining that in my previous comment
i have man its not doing anything. it falls to the ground and just rolls around in place. see http://puu.sh/821r2 the forces isnt doing anything
