Object remains floating on detach

[zodd 14]

I am doing up a basic supply carrying/loading script for a mission I am making; works perfectly so far (Players can grab barrels and move them to vehicles, load them in the back and unload them)

I am using the attachTo and detach for this however when I detach a barrel and they are above the ground level, they just float there (ie. no gravity/physics)

Does anyone know how to re-enable gravity on these objects? Current workaround is just setPos to ground level but surely there is a better way? (Or at least ANOTHER way?)

You could try

 this enableSimulation true;

See Arma Wiki enableSimulation command

Also ty

_object setVelocity [0,0,-.1];

enableSimulation didnt work (tried it first up)

Neither did setVelocity.... strange?

If setPos works why aren't you using it?

I am using it now but because it has different results when in a vehicle (the player is higher) I was hoping for physics to take over. (And seems like it logically should be able to if something is above the ground)

Although interestingly... with the metal bins gravity doesnt seem to want to work but I changed to the plastic bins and they work fine!
