The last few days have been very bitter sweet. While all the problems were fixed and the new motion was implemented, I did encounter more problems along the way. I eventually got the correct motion, or so I thought. At this point in time, the particle bounces correctly every now and again. So far I do not see a pattern in the problems. I did try each rotation individually and it seems that for the x rotation and the y rotation of the plane, there seemed to be no problems. However, the z rotation did not work. I then tried the concatenation of the x and y rotation which in theory should be fine as the x and y rotations work individually. This was not the case however. I then tried the position of the coordinate itself by making the plane flat. The bounce worked correctly again for changes in the x and y coordinates. Again, the z coordinate when changed, caused the particle to move to a position quite a bit below the plane. So far, I am completely confused as to what the problem could be as the results at the moment are varied. I have a meeting with Dr Lucas tomorrow and so I will have a talk to him about what the problem could be. So stay tuned.
Next steps (once the problem I have just now is fixed) is to make the particle slide down the plane once it has stopped bouncing, to make the particle fall under gravity once it leaves the planes surface and to make the particle fall with a velocity falling at an angle.
