Impulse or VelocityChange) when the slingshot is released, rather than the default ForceMode.Force which simulates its effect over a time window. You can tune the numbers to get equivalent behaviour out of either approach, but if you change your fixed time step the force solution will have a different output (since it's integrating the force over a longer or shorter time interval) while the impulse remains consistent as desired, because it represents just the moment of release. | |
