Atmospheric drag

Elukka

Is there any way to get empty, Newtonian space in SketchyPhysics? Gravity is easily set to zero but how about the atmosphere? Moving objects stop on their own which implies there's an atmosphere and I can't find any way to turn it off.

The answer seems to lie in this command
setLinearDamping(0.0) and setAngularDamping(0.0)each of which are set in the script box. Hope this helps.

It should be:

onstart{
  setLinearDamping(0.0)
  setAngularDamping([0.0,0.0,0.0])
}

Numbers larger than 100.0 will work. Experiment to find out what values work for whatever you are trying to do.

I'd use those commands in the onstart event. I reckon this code should achieve what you're after:

onstart{
  setLinearDamping(0.0)
  setAngularDamping([0.0,0.0,0.0])
}

Edited, didn't try it originally
