Ball falls through plattform when the platform is to fast - see properties screenshot

Hi,
the ball bounces on the platform, so first all is OK
I can turn the platform with the mouse, so the ball can change the direction, very fine to that time.

But when Iturn the platform to fast, the ball falls through the platform.
So thats the point why I can't figure out why this happens.

In the attachements you can see the properties of the ball and the platform.
So what is my mistake?

 

set collision detection to continous (or similar)

 

Hi zeblote,
I tryed "Continous" and "Continous dynamic" on the platform but its all the same.

I make a good picture where you can see that the ball is half in the platform.
The platform itself is a cube.

other idears???

 

Increase the Collider size at list by 2x times. this will fix the issue.

 

Also try to changing the min penetration value. you will find this setting in
Edit->Project Setting->Physics




Hope this solves your problem.

Regards,

 

Hi abgamers,
it goes but if I am really fast in turnung the platform the ball sticks a little bit at the platform.
DRAG and ANGULAR DRAG ist set to ZERO (at Ball and at Platform)

I thought that when I turn the platform and I hit the ball, that the ball jumps higher,
but the ball doesn't. Can the Physicengine of UNITY do this from itself or should
I make this by script?

Its like playing table tennis where I give the ball additional speed

 

How are you turning the platform? Are you using joints and applying torque, or do you just change its rotation?

 

I'm guessing just rotation, because if you apply torque or force to move and object Unity seems to handle these high speed collision situations a lot better. I think Unity physics looks ahead for future collisions using the forces that have been applied to an object. This is why changing collision to "Continous" or "Continous Dynamic" didn't seem to help him.

Don't necessarily need to use a joint as the appropriate axis can be frozen on the paddle's rigid body options. Assuming central pivot point and paddle made from a primitive cube freezing xyz positions and freezing the 2 axis that are not being used you can create a spinning paddle.

As far as speed affecting collision response, I think adding torque instead of manual rotation will fix this problem as well.

 

assuming youre not doing something stupid like using Rotate on the platform (unless its kinematic which is fine)

you can either trying decreasing the physics timestep

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/class-TimeManager.html

or you can try increasing the physics solver iteration count.

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/class-PhysicsManager.html

 

I rotate the platform like this:

Code (csharp):

1.     void Update(){
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.         transform.localEulerAngles += new Vector3 (Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * MouseSensitivityY, 0, 0);
6.  
7.  
8.  
9.     }

No sript at all nothing to the ball than to the platform.

I played aroung the Physics Manager but no solution. Ball falls through if i rotate the platform to fast.
The other link from JamesLee : Sorry I don't understand what you mean.

 

Is your platform kinematic? (its a rigidbody setting)... if not, the code you are using to move your platform is wrong.


What exactly dont you understand?

 

Hi JamesLee,
yes its kinematic see screenshots I attached

The min Penetration Penalty = 0.001 helps a little but as I say If I turn the platform really fast, the balls goes through the platform.
Also I thought that if I hit the ball with platform, the ball gets more speed.

I don't understand what the Time Manager should help to solve this problem, cause if I read this I think this depence on the speed of the computer. But this should also functioned on a slower PC. I am a newbee in UNITY.

 

if you make the timestep smaller, it recalculates the physics faster. for a simple game like this it shouldnt make too larger impact on performance.

try increasing the solver iteration to 7

if neither of these work you could try not making the platform kinematic and moving it with torque.

 

If I try this with torque: I should write a script.

Do you have a good tut that explanes torque in an comprehensible way?

 

try this... is specifically mentions platforms...

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.MoveRotation.html

I really do need to write a nice physics library for the asset store..
