Change the restitution Unity2d box2d

I’ve been searching all over the place on how to change the restitution on a body in Unity2d.

With box2dweb (as well as flash), you would change it through the bodies box/circle Fixture:
fixtureDef.restitution = val

I’m assuming body fixtures are replaced with rigidBody2D and have been looking over the docs and haven’t been able to figure out how to change this value.

Restitution is jargon that isn’t common in the Unity landscape. If you mean bounce, there are currently some options to affect bounce on a 2d material used by a 2d collider.

See Unity - Manual: Physics Material 2D

Restitution of 1.0 is the same as bouncincess of 1.0, as I understand it.

Yeah I figured thats not was it was called here but every other box2d version I've worked with it's what it was called. Awesome, that was what I've been looking for thanks!
