AirmanPA32 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I am writing a script for a hot air balloon and I would like it to act realistically as when the burner stops the balloon slows then descends as the bag cools.The problem I am having is when I burn .. the balloon rises nicely ... I stop the burners ... the bag cools it slows ... but then stops.I have VEHICLE_BUOYANCY set to 0.96VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT set to 0.0I use the VEHICLE_LINEAR_MOTOR_DIRECTION to raise the balloon on the z axis and have the VEHICLE_LINEAR_FRICTION_TIMESCALE on the z axis set to 1000. I have also tried removing this setting.Anyone have any ideas? I can post the entire script if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirmanPA32 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 thanks, I have all that already ... something is holding the balloon and not letting it fall after the linear motor has decayed. I need to somehow disable the Linear Friction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph Arnott Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 have you tryed increasing the gravity param? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirmanPA32 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 I did play with the gravity and my "lift thrust" z axis It appears to have something to do with the Vertical Attractor settings ... still experimenting ... making progress thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirmanPA32 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 If the z axis is not exactly vertical, the balloon will settle back to ground after the linear motor stops. If it is exactly vertical, it freezes in the sky. I'm guessing it is linear friction? Is there any way to disable this? If I make any prim physical it will drop, why cant this balloon drop?
