Interactive Object

Interactive Object

The Object tab defines the core physical and structural properties of the Interactive.

Object Physics

Kinematic/Physics

Kinematic

Toggle between physics-based and kinematic movement for the GameObject. When Kinematic is enabled, the physics system will not apply forces to move or rotate the GameObject, instead, the object's motion can only be controlled by Motion Actions and Motion Controllers.

Drag

Define the decay rate of a objects linear velocity, to simulate drag, air resistance, or friction. Low values produce a slower decay rate, so that the object moves faster for longer (this is useful for simulating heavy real-world objects). High values produce a faster decay rate, so that the object slows down over a short amount of time (this is useful for simulating lightweight real-world objects).

Angular Drag

Define the decay rate of a object’s rotational velocity, to simulate drag, air resistance, or friction. Low values produce a slower decay rate, so that the object moves faster for longer (this is useful for simulating heavy real-world objects). High values produce a faster decay rate, so that the object slows down over a short amount of time (this is useful for simulating lightweight real-world objects). Note that you cannot make the object stop rotating just by setting its Angular Drag to infinity.
