Falling objects with different speed

Dikkesnoek

Hi,

I have a few objects falling from the sky. I tried to change different parameters
like density and friction.

fallingObjectBody:createFixture{shape = fallingObjectShape,
density = 1,
restitution = 0,
friction = 0.1}

Am I doing something wrong? I understand that normally
with no (air) resisistance all objects falling at the same speed. But how can I
change this that all objects are falling with a slightly different speed?

Thanks,

Marc

Hmm...
Did you try LinearDamping, or gravity scale?

@Dikkesnoek density together with volume control mass of the object, but if there is no air resistance, then all objects (even with different mass) will fall the same speed.
Thus the only option seems to be dampening, or applying initial negative velocity

Or turn off gravity, and apply random downward velocity for each object.

Thanks, I did change the gravity scale. This will work on all the
objects. I will try the damping efect.
