squiz Clifton says there is no difference in the friction on the different materials. Unfortunately squiz seems to be right there. No reason to change from the default wood to glass to give it less friction.

we don't have anything that can double for a spring. Inelastic colisions only. If only there were a way...

You can make levers, but they are likely to jump out of their hinge, so they are single-use only beyond 1 meter length.

Even havok4 has the problem that, if enough force is applied, you can push a solid object trough another 3 meter thick solid object.


Yes, I normally have a script that puts it back to normal again. It is really too sad one must resolve to scripting....
