Ok, imagine you are playing Plinko (from the price is right) during a time out of an NBA game. Can Xpression cause interaction between objects? For example, can I build a flattened column representing the puck that will interact with another object and "bounce" off of it?

That sounds extremely difficult to accomplish.. I'm sure with enough coding someone might be able to accomplish it however..

Whew, thank you Brian. That's all I need to know.

To animate a bouncing ball I created a text object called 'Values' which stores the current velocity on the x and y axis. Then I put a script on the 4th frame of my animation controller which;

-Read the old values

-Applied gravitational constant

-Checked for contact with the walls/floor to bounce (check if current position is out of bounds)

-Checked for contact with a quad which relaunches the ball (check if current position of ball is within a certain distance from quad center)

-Added the velocity values to the x/y position of the ball

-Stored the new velocity

-Jumped to frame one

-Repeats
