Physics: Sticky surface?

I feel like this is a simple question and I'm just searching for the answer incorrectly.

I'm making a physics puzzler where different surfaces do different things to a falling/bouncing object.

I've got surfaces that bounce it away and surfaces that launch it like a speed boost, but the one that's giving me trouble is a surface that slows down the object when it hits, kind like a sticky wall or some kind of shock absorber. I wasn't sure what settings I needed to adjust and if I needed to adjust them on the surface object or the bouncing object or both, and playing around with various numbers in the objects wasn't getting me anywhere.

Do I need to do something to the bouncing object on its collision with the sticky surface in the events?

Reduce the bouncing objects speed. You could be more clear about what are you really planning to do. You could post a screenshot or .capx.

Here's an isolated case that I threw together. When the ball hits the pink surface, I want the ball to behave as though the surface absorbed its shock, so slow it down, yes.

So are you saying that I should manually set the ball's velocity on collision with the pink surface?

You should do it through events, because sticky isn't an existing state in the physics engine.

Just make an event - on collision with pink - set velocity to 0

Thanks!
