physics question

Anybody know of a good way to make a free particle in the traer physics library *not* react to gravity but still be mobile?

Yah. Particles in traer.physics don't react to gravity unless you apply a Gravity object to them. Instead just use addVelocity or Springs and use a good dampening value on the ParticleSystem.

This example uses no Gravity or Springs.

Well, I've got particles that I want to react to gravity, so I want to have gravity that will pull them down, but I also want to have a springboard whose free particles are not affected by that gravity. It occurs to me that I could just make a separate particle system for those because the I've got to handle the collision of the falling particles with the springboard myself, anyhow.
