physics_fixture_set_restitution(fixture, restitution)
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| fixture | The index of the fixture |
| restitution | The restitution of the fixture (usually between 0 and 1) |
Returns: N/A
In physics, restitution is defined as "the return of an object
or system to its original state after elastic deformation", but as
the fixtures in the GameMaker: Studio are really rigid
bodies and cannot be deformed, restitution is really a way of
saying how "bouncy" the fixture is. This setting will affect how
much an object "bounces" when it collides with other objects and is
co-dependant on other forces that act on the instance like gravity
and friction, and is usually a value between 0 and 1 (higher values
can be used but may give un-predictable results). Here is an
illustration of how it works:
physics_fixture_set_restitution(fix_Ball, 0.9);
The code above will set the restitution of the fixture indexed in "fix_ball" to 0.9.
