Making a good physics-based ball

Hi,

I am trying to make a football system.
I made a simple shooting system, only for me to realize that the ball is too quick. I am using the roblox physics system

(ball:ApplyImpule())
tooFastBall (sorry for lag)

I want the ball to be similar to “Super Blox Soccer”, where the ball is slow enough to react but still the ball feels very quick.

I believe that effect is achieved by making the ball slower, the speed last more and fall slower.

I dont know how to re-create this. What should I do to get started?

The velocity instances i believe will help me but there’s so many: idk which to use?

I have tried to increase the Y of the AssemblyLinearVelocity if the blal is falling, but the ball feels too jittery.

Thanks in advance!

I believe I did something with gravity to achieve the “slow” effect

there are a number of MLS opensource experiences out there that have balls… maybe too, different material masses might make it move slower…

Creator of SBS here. I used a constant VectorForce in the upward direction. Think of this as reducing the gravity of just the ball.

Good luck with your future endeavors.

Why would you bump this 10 months later :sob:
