    Hello there. I'm making a shooter set in null gravity and have hit a snag. How do I go about setting an object adrift? I assume AddForce is involved, but that's as far as I've gotten.

    Eventually what I want is to have several objects spawn, drift around the scene and collide with players and each other.

    Thank you for your help.

    Not really a Scripting question, more of a Physics one. You just need to set your game's gravity to 0 in your Project Settings, and add RigidBodies to all your objects. Then, if you give them any kind of velocity (including from AddForce as you mentioned), they will drift.

    Thanks. I've gotten objects to float upwards; it's a start.
