I followed the tutorial about gravity, with bouncing, and I wanted to figure out how to test when it has stopped bouncing.

What I am trying to get at is say I had the objet bounce from a point, then when it has stopped bouncing, move left or right. Think of a person dropped from a plane with a parachute. He has to wait until he is firmly on the ground before he can start moving…thats what I want to do.
