Friction?How to Make a box on top of box not slide?

[dmaster]

Hi All,

Kudos to this excelent library.

I'm having a bit of problem as to make the friction going on a simple demo of a surface (a box primive) with a box on top (another box primitive). When I move the surface the box slides, and I don't want it to slide. I'm tried to enable friction on the materials but its not working. Shouldn't the 0.9 friction as default be working already?

I setted the Mass of surface box to 0 as to make it not act on gravity, and I tried various mass levels for the box on top but nothing seems to work.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

a frition coef of 0.9 can only generate a force as high as90% of the weight.
the coefienet can be as high as 2.0 try that. other than that you can use a fix joint.

In newton 2.0 will offer the possibility to make sticky contacts, these are contacts that act like glue cement to make cynder blocks walls. they will suport unlimited compresion, and limited streching and lateral force.

that is thet will stick to objects and you will need some force to removed them

Aces! when can we have the glue friction, pretty please with cherries on top?

[Julio Jerez]

do you have teh beta 2.0?

Oh awesome. This glue feature is perfect for the gameplay we have in mind for the project I'm currently working on. Is this already in the 2.0 beta?

No!? Where can I get it?
