Question by Daz · Sep 05, 2010 at 10:51 AM · physicsgravity

Rigidbody still falls without gravity.

Hi. I have some objects that I need to be rigidbodies so that i can add forces to them, but they always fall down out of view, even if Use Gravity is unchecked. Have also tried adding "rigidbody.useGravity = false;" to the script, but this does nothing either. Just seems like every rigidbody has gravity no matter what, how can I disable it? Absolute beginner here so any help greatly appreciated. Thanks muchly.

It's because someone is pushing them down. You probably have another rigid body either touching them or connected to them. You can make them stay on the spot with fixed joints or similar

Ahh yes that explains it, thanks for helping, guess I will have to think of a different strategy for this one.

You could make them kinematic in spots

Just atach a script which either make them kinematic or false there use gravity at run time

Other users have mentioned making them kinematic and this would also be my suggestion.

Alternatively, if there are no rigidbodies that require gravity, you could set the gravity in the Physics settings to be 0.

Depending on your needs you may be able to use the constraints function under the objects rigid body and lock it to a certain axis.

I would require more information to answer this better.
