Negating object spinning

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

In my game, when two objects collide, they acquire spinning motion, that is they keep on rotating. If there a way to add friction to this rotation?

They must acquire some angular velocity which I want to reduce over time. can someone point me in the right direction?

#2

The physics bodies can have rotational damping set, check with property it is in docs :slight_smile:

#3

oh cool! thanks, checking…

#4

I used it but it does not seem to work :/. Does changing an object from static to dynamic reset angular damping value?

#5

“static” as name suggest is non moving object, so applying this parameter has no sens. It must be applied to dynamic or kinematic object.

What I meant was, I set this property to the object and define it as static… but later I change it into dynamic at run-time… do I need to apply this setting when I change its physical property from static to dynamic?
