Stop bouncing particle

[Aikiman]

You could create an expression that uses the event command that says on the third bounce (event 3) the goal weight = 1. I'm not sure how to go about it but that is a start.

I guess you'd create a custom array querying the event count. Sorry I cant be more helpful.

one way i could think of is to lower the conserve value a little bit maybe like .98 or lower

[Aikiman]

Here you can try this hack...create an expression for your resilience as follows

geoConnector1.resilience=1-smoothstep(20,400,frame);

I noticed the tiny little bounces on mine as well and it had to do with the resilience, so if you bring it down to zero over time, this case frame, it will stop the boucing. Play with the min - max frames for the correct timing.

May be like this.

$float mag = ParticleShape1.velocity;
if (particleshape1.velocity < 0.001)
{
set the particles velocity = 0;
}




particleShape2.sp=mag(particleShape2.velocity);
$rr=particleShape2.rr;
if(particleShape2.sp<0.01)
{
particleShape2.rr=0;
}

Hope this helps.

Thank you, people!
I will try them and let you know.

just realsied only prob with my hack is its not per particle

[rkderj]

you could link dynamics weight with the particle's lifespan in an expression.
