Collider:getRestitution

Edit

Returns the restitution of the Collider. Restitution makes a Collider bounce when it collides with other objects. A restitution value of zero would result in an inelastic collision response, whereas 1.0 would result in an elastic collision that preserves all of the velocity. The restitution can be bigger than 1.0 to make the collision even more bouncy.

restitution = Collider:getRestitution()

Notes

To improve stability of the simulation and allow colliders to come to rest, restitution is only applied if the collider is moving above a certain speed. This can be configured using the restitutionThreshold option in lovr.physics.newWorld.
