Help: Ball is bouncy

Hi guys. I am trying to make a game where the player places objects (such as blocks) to direct a ball to the end of the level. When I began trying my first level out, I found that the ball was very bouncy, and constantly bounces without end.

To make the gravity, I put an accelerate behaviour at a downwards motion (relative to scene) on the ball actor. To reduce the bounce, I tried setting the restitution to 0, on both the ball and block objects that it hits into, but it changed nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    if there is still a bounce you do not have restitution set to 0 on something.

    Are trying to use a change attribute or changing it in the prototype?

    What ever works for te effect your wanting. Some ppl set it as high as 1000 it still will have no effect on the bounce if restitution is set to 0 on both objects

    I put the accelerate attribute in the actor prototype, if that's what you are asking.

    Try changing the restitution in the objects its colliding with to 0.

    I thought I had already done that, but it turns out I hadn't. Thanks for the help
