Best way to implement a carrying tray in VR using Unity
I have found a suitable solution using both Unity's built-in materials and a script that uses a trigger as a parent modifier.
Both the tray's and mug's collider has a material attached that raises ...

Best way to implement a carrying tray in VR using Unity
It sounds like you've already figured out the solution:
I'm thinking of some kind of magnet-like system where if you drop an item onto the tray, it becomes stuck until you manually take it off.
From ...

How do I Rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3) in Unreal Engine?
If you want to add a one-time force to the object you should use the AddImpulse function instead of the AddForce, because AddForce applies a force continually.
To use the AddImpulse function you need ...

Handling movement on sloped surfaces - clamping character to sloped surface
This is a very easy solve. All you have to do is apply a downward force if you are in the air. First, you have to detect if you are actually on a slope, assuming you have a "jump" in your ...

Bouncing balls miss collisions, bounce the wrong direction, of lose momentum on one axis when hitting a corner
It appears that your code is fighting with the physics engine about who gets to control the velocity vectors of the balls.

Order of updates in falling sand simulation
I don't know much about the technicalities of simulation design, but it seems to me that you could update all the sand-like particles from the bottom up, and then update all the steam-like particles ...
