vec_rotate. search for it in the manual. when you know how big you want the force to be, make that the x-component of the vector, with the y- and z- equal to 0. vec_rotate by the angle, and then you have that force in that angle. then use ph_addvelcentral or something similar.

i'm assuming this will answer your question -- if you just want to add torque then MrCode has your answer ^^

I tried the sin(angle) * force or something and it worked for me.

Thanks guys

is there any example of this in action?, jus i'd prefere not to try if it is not as good as it sounds

you may try my newton example, there are ropes included
