Greetings!

I've decided to learn a bit more about 3DGS Physics engine, and for that i've thinked in a simple game: A minigolf game.

I was testing the basic features and my physics concept fails around the force/torque/velocity functions.

I've tried searching the forum, the english posts, and i couldn't find anything elucidative. (so sorry if i'm making a "double post")

Now for the problem:
Imagine a MiniGolf game.
You have the power of the stroke and the direction of the stroke.
Assuming that the stroke power is variable based, let's assign strokepwr=100.
The direction of the stroke is given by the position of another entity outside the physic's rigid collection.

I've tried a bunch of variations with phent_addforceglobal but the ball keeps acting berserk.

So, how can i apply a force to the ball, with a strokepwr of 100, towards another entity?

(i understand that an entity with physics assigned cannot be panned, rolled, tilted or moved)

Thanks a lot in advance!

the best thing you could use is:
phent_addvelcentral(my,vector(strokepwr,0,0));
i think
also you could use

phent_addcentralforce ( ENTITY*, VECTOR* vForce );
phent_addforceglobal (ENTITY* entity,VECTOR* vForce,VECTOR* vPos );
phent_addforcelocal (ENTITY* entity,VECTOR* vForce,VECTOR* vPos );
phent_addtorqueglobal ( entity, vecTorque );
phent_addvellocal
phent_addvelglobal

Thanks for the reply and for the function to use advice...
...but:

I still need to head the force towards an entity
Any ideas?

Solved it!

This is the solution i've came up with:
(it can help somebody with the same problem)
(fell free to correct my newbie errors I appreciate it )

vec_set(temp,GolfBall.x);
vec_sub(temp,BallHeader.x);
vec_to_angle(BallHeader.pan,temp);

phent_addvelcentral(GolfBall,vector(-temp.x*strokepower/50,-temp.y*strokepower/50,0));

strokepower it's "clamped" between 0 and 100.

Thanks for the tips flits
