AddTorque does not spin object

I am working on a dice game and my dice is a mesh with Rigid body. It has mass 1 and angular drag 0.05 (all the default values).

I add torque to the cube following manner;

Code (CSharp):

1. rigBody.AddTorque(new Vector3(0.0f, 0, -1000000));

I expected the cube to spin rapidly but it is doing 1 or 2 rotations before falling to the ground.
My idea was to use the torque to throw the cube instead of using addforce.

Any idea how to get the cube to rotate rapidly?

 

Maybe you need to increase the maxAngularVelocity

Yes changing maxAngularVelocity made the dice spin as expected

 

Now the dice are spinning the way I want I am having another problem. Sometimes they get stuck with each other and do not turn to a side. So it not clear sometimes which side has turned up?


Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

Im not sure if I understand what you mean, but would setting your dices rigidbody collision detection to continuous dynamic fix things?

 

the collisions working fine.
A dice might lean against another dice and may not fully turn to a side.

Any ideas on how to prevent this?
