Hi There,

I am trying to make a sticky projectile without using the following method in this tutorial:
http://www.iforce2d.net/b2dtut/sticky-projectiles

I basically have a simple cannon that throws a ball with high velocity and I would like it to stick to a surface.

I tried the following approach by simply setting the following settings for the ball on contact however the ball keeps sliding slowly which I don't want:

Ball:
Object->setStatic(true);
Object->setAngularVelocity(0);
Object->setLinearVelocity(0,0);

Sticky Surface is a simple box with following physical properties:

Friction:5.0f //High Friction
Restitution: 0.0f //No Bounciness
Density:1.0

I really appreciate it if someone can help me out.

Thanks,

HS

Are you sure the body is being made static correctly? I don't think it's possible for the body to slide if it is a static body...
Are you doing body->SetType(b2_staticBody); ?
Perhaps you are using pseudo-code there, because there is no function setStatic in Box2D.
