Hello, I got bored and decided to learn the physics engine, hehe. So I figured out you define phent inside of actions or to a entity through say ent create, but where do i put the ph objects. (ph_setgravity i think) Right now when i walk into my box it kinda stumbles then floats up, becuase i got no gravity im guessing, where do i define it? In another function? thanks..

Code:

---

action physics_box {

phent_settype( my, ph_rigid, ph_box );
phent_setmass ( my, 2.5, ph_box ); }

---

well, i got gravity now, i just needed to define a vector variable, but how can i stop the bouncing and flying around soon as i like tap it? thanks

Code:

---

var earthgravity[3] = 0,0, -386;

action physics_box {

ph_setgravity(earthgravity);

phent_settype( my, ph_rigid, ph_box);
phent_setmass ( my, 50, ph_box ); }

---

Don't run into physics objects. Instead use the phent_* commands to push/turn them (phent_addcentralforce, addtorque, etc.)

So say if I want a box to move when I run into it, Id set the mass, gravity, and type then add central force to it and it will just move in the direction? It says in the manual to give gravity a nullvector, but then wouldnt it take off if I hit it to hard?
