I know I've posted a lot of issues about Newton, I'm kinda in between newton and A6 physics. I'm trying to get a bullet impact working for the A6 physics, but no success... spins, no movement and it always spins in one dircetion. My code:

Code:

---

 

function physics_hit
{
	if (you.skill1 == 4) //checks if entity that hit it was a bullet
	{
	var force_vector;
	force_vector.x = you.skill8*10;
	force_vector.y = 0;
	force_vector.z = 0;
	vec_rotate(force_vector, you.pan); //rotates it to give direction of bullet
	phent_addforcelocal (my, force_vector, you.x);
	}
}

Action PhysicsCrate
{
	my.skill96 = 1; //smoke
	my.skill98 = 1; //sparks
	my.skill99 = 1;//I'm a physics object
	phent_settype(my, PH_RIGID, PH_BOX); // sets the object within the physics engine
	phent_setmass(my, 10, PH_BOX); // set the entity's mass
	phent_setfriction(my,30); // set the enitity's friction\
	phent_setdamping(my,50,100);
	phent_setelasticity(my, 0, 0); // set the enitity's elasticity
	phent_enable(my, ON); // enable the phent enitity
	my.ENABLE_IMPACT = on;
	my.event = physics_hit;
}

Anybody know how to fix this?

Maybe force_vector should be a vector (var force_vector[3];)

Have you set "ph_setgravity" ?
Also try "phent_enable(my, 1)" insteat of "phent_enable(my,0)"
Btw. you don´t need "phent_enable" in this case, you could delete this line. You´ve registered the entity as physics object with "phent_settype".

No, that's not the problem. You see, it is working well in terms of physics, gravity and all, but not acting like a bullet hit it with addforcelocal. I need to know if this is the instruction to use, if so how to use it and if not what the correct instruction is. Anybody know how to do this?

Try this:
Code:

---

var force_vector[3];
function physics_hit()
{	
        if (event_type == event_impact)&&(you.skill1 == 4)
	{	          	
           force_vector.x = you.skill8*10;	
           force_vector.y = 0;	
           force_vector.z = 0;	
           vec_rotate(force_vector, you.pan);
           phent_addforcelocal (my, force_vector, you.x);	
        }
}

Maybe you could use phent_addcentralforce(my, vector_force) to apply a linear force in the entity´s center of mass.

No... that's not it... I don't need to check for event_impact because its the only thing being detected here. And no I don't want central force because it doesn't give the object any spin.

Anyway I solved the problem after I realised the vecPoint was relative to the object... so nullvector or vector(0,0,0) would be the center of the physics object not the center of the level... works fine now, thanks for the help
