[Help] Hovering Reflecting Ball Not Working

Hello there, thx in advance.

I am working on a 3D game.

The intend: I want a Ball that is not affected by gravity but can still be manipulated by velocity(rigidbody). This ball is in a closed off room, but can bounce off anything.

The problem: The ball can float in air quite welll, and i can move it at a speed using in FixedUpdate:

this.rigidbody.velocity = this.rigidbody.velocity.normalized * Time.deltaTime * 100.0f;



rigidbody.AddRelativeForce(100.0f * this.transform.forward);

But the ball just goes into an instant stop when hitting a wall, even though i should reflect its movement:
this code is triggered OnCollisionEnter,

this.rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.Reflect(this.rigidbody.velocity, contact.normal);

Can someone please explain what i am doing wrong?

 

You could instead try giving your ball's collider component a bouncy physics material. That should give you the same result you're looking for.
