Re: Using Reactor...

Create a spline. Have your robot follow that spline. Add a rigid body collection. Add the robot and whatever objects you want the robot to interact with. Set the weights. adjsut the friction and the other one.
i think that's the basic steps.

i have a question. Why do objects jump at the start of the scene after incorpating Reactor with the objects?
For example. a simpel scene:

i placed couple cubes in a room, i add them to my rigid body collection, i set a weight to like 20, and i hit Preview Animation. The havoc window comes up and i press P for play. The first thing i see is that the cubes jump up and then fall back down. How do i prevent this? Which setting is affecting the objects?

i have the scene animated, but my broadband provider has an upload limit and my quick render of the scene is past the limit (36,828 KB)
