problem with physics - pinball "like" paddle jitter

Howdy

So, I'm trying to set up a simple flipper akin to what would be in a pinball machine. I found a nice tutorial that uses physics Behavior but when I run it, the paddle jitters up and down. It also seems to ignore my inputs. any suggestions?

so far this is what I've done.

• Create the paddle
• give it the Physics Behavior
• set linear/angular damp to 1
• For every tick > Create limited revolution joint ((Ive set it to an "anchor" in the scene))
• added "add impulse" on click
• every tick set impulse opposite to what is the click

by the by, this is the tut i was following.

thanks for any help.

Well, you don't need to create a revolute joint every tick, doing it once at start should suffice like in the tutorial. Other than that if you've followed the tutorial it should work as far as I can tell. Are you sure you're applying impulse to the correct image point?

I followed it down to the T but it seems I missed something. I'm rebuilding it again to see what i missed.

Not sure how, but this fixed it. Not sure how I did it but I did.
