Tada... It's me again!! :)
I want to make 200 coins lie randomly on the floor in a heap without
overlapping eachother. I'm wondering if anyone can help me.

thanks in advance

Try looking for the "clutter"-macro, it must be
around here somewhere. AFAIK, you can
define an object and drop thousands of it
onto a heightfield/plane/object. Its not physically
correct, but looks good enough with some
tweaking. I've never used it myself though.

Regards,
Tim

Yup, you're right. Have you got a link to that?
Searching for it using the webinterface didn't
get me a file (haven't searched very long though),
and linking to JRG's site gives me an file-not-found.

Maybe i will find it on my windows partition...
