Revision history [back]

After a few hours of trial and error, I have found that the best way to do this is to enable collision boundaries, have kinematic as true, gravity checked false, and use a loop to change position, instead of a force (i.e. for i in range(#): ??.pose.position.z += 0.1)

If anyone has a better solution, I'd be interested in hearing.
