Hi
I have here an Barrel on a "FlatCar". The Barrel sank into that Car, so I set Attributes: Gravity to 0.
This almost works. But if I touch that Barrel, it begins to rotate or moving like a "ghost".
How can I make it "full static" (immobile) ? It is just for decoration. I want it to not react in any way.
I tried FrobInfo with "Ignore" on all buttons; it doesn't change anything.

First, in the barrel's properties:
Add > Physics > Model > Controls > Location and Rotation
That will prevent it from sinking and spinning. Then, if you truly want it immobile:
Add > Object System > Immobile

I'm curious why you thought this would change anything, since frobbing barrels already does nothing.

This will actually cause the barrel to cast a shadow, which can look good but also be a problem if the player smashes it, as the shadow will remain.

I didn't know that, thanks!

Good to know, and that issue can easily be solved by setting Slay Result to No Effect, though it depends on what the author wants to do with the object. Setting it that way prevents the object from being destroyed.

Thanks for the answers.

Simply because I am new to DromEd. And I prefer to test things out. Learning by doing is more effective, than asking for every
detail. I thought, FrobInfo could be used to control the interaction between Player and inworld-objects.

Only frobbing, as the name implies. Other interactions are controlled by other properties, most notably the Physics ones.
