PRIM_MATERIAL

Description

Constant: integer PRIM_MATERIAL = 2;

Video tutorial about material

The integer constant PRIM_MATERIAL has the value 2

Sets the prim material. Material does not affect mass, but does affect friction, bounce (elasticity), and collision sound. On a wood incline of 33 degrees, the example script below gave the following results:

Table detailing maximum velocity and distance traveled down the incline.

Type	Velocity (m/s)	Distance (m)
Stone	0.453181	0.361655
Metal	5.475444	10.211180
Glass	6.483150	11.678304
Wood	2.154549	9.433724
Flesh	0.351543	0.188043
Plastic	4.502428	9.590952
Rubber	0.374964	0.187106
