why cant i add force??

here is my code:

Code:

---

 

function blowing_ragdoll
{
	while(1)
	{
		if(key_space == 1)
		{
			phent_addcentralforce ( torso, vector(1000, 0, 0) );
		}
		wait(1);
	}
} 

---

now when i press space nothing happens to my model..

how can i come around this??
TIA and regards,

Have you tried increasing the force value? I find it has to be a very high value but it depends what you set the mass etc to

lol, ty, i allready worked it out

regards,

Remember that applying a force for a single frame can be a very short span of time depending on framerate. Increasing the force or lowering the object's mass is one option (not recommended), applying a smaller force over a period of time is the better alternative.
