Topic: Are bouncing projectiles possible?

Is it possible to add a rigidbody the the projectile prefab so that it bounces when it hits the ground similar to what Glacius' ice ball does in the new KI?

Re: Are bouncing projectiles possible?

Actually, yes.  The ground plane is the only collider in the scene that will work with Unity's Physics, so a rigid body attached to a projectile will actually work.

Just be aware that in doing this you'll be relying on Unity's physics system to simulate the bounce - so you could get inconsistent behaviour (as opposed to controlling the bounce yourself).  You'll also need to adjust the default Physics Gravity value to suit.
