I and a friend of my is developing a little test game. We are trying to write a code for grabbing and throwing an object. We wrote some codes but it is not exactly what we want smirk

We Wrote That

function t_kolaEvent()

VECTOR temp4;
my.skill50=1;

if(event_type==EVENT_SCAN && you==player)
{
set(my,PASSABLE);
while(my.skill50==1)
{
vec_for_vertex(temp4,player,32);
my.x=temp4.x;
my.z=temp4.z-10;
my.y=temp4.y;
my.pan=player.pan;
if(mouse_right) { my.skill50=0; }
wait(1);
}
ent_create("cola_can.mdl",vector(my.x,my.y,my.z),kola_fizik);
ent_remove(me);

action t_kola()
{
my.emask|=ENABLE_SCAN;
my.event=t_kolaEvent;
}


"phent_addforceglobal(me,vector(1000,0,0),nullvector);" when we make 1000 value higher, it doesn't make sense. We tried 100000, but result is same, not throwing away enough...

Also I am sure there should be an other way that not using ent_create's. And of course there should be a better way to grab the object (in that code you can grab it but it doesn't look like real). We tried using trigonometry to define the grabbed objects position but it doesn't work:

cola_can.z = player.z;


Also We Wrote That And I'm Pretty Sure That This Was Supposed To Work

If you got any ideas about it please share them with us. Especially we are trying to make second code work. Waiting for help. Thanks...

The Life Game is disgustingly bad but the graphics and reality are extremely cool...
