I want to make a 3 ball pool game (3D). Which methods of rigidbody should I use for this?
(I saw the strike technique by chance before, but forgot)

I’d recommend you to use the apply_impulse Method:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_rigidbody.html#class-rigidbody-method-apply-impulse

You can use this to kick the ball to a specific direction.

Thank you so much. I have to hit the ball with a spin.
example:
when I hit the right side of the ball, the ball will go in a straight direction and spin around itself.

I don’t know, but maybe you can try to also use the apply_torque_impulse method.

Doc says: “Applies a torque impulse which will be affected by the body mass and shape. This will rotate the body around the impulse vector passed.”
