Would you be able to create a negative gravity sphere in the middle? I believe that is what you really want to achieve. And if you're looking for the shockwave, you would want to increase the effective radius over time. I don't know which physics system would work best for this.

yes, you can see it in my wrapper

Here I give you a code like in the Vidio:


FUNCTION explosion()
{
phent_settype (my, ph_rigid, ph_sphere);
phent_setmass (my, 1.8, ph_sphere); phent_setelasticity (my, 1, 1);
phent_setdamping (my, 15, 35);
phent_setfriction (my, 99);
my.invisible = on;
while(1)
{
phent_settype(my, 0, 0);
vec_scale(my.scale_x, 2);
phent_settype(my, ph_rigid, ph_sphere);
IF(my.scale_x > 150) //Bigger scale bigger explosion...
{
phent_settype(my, 0, 0);
remove(my);
return;
}
wait(1);
}
}

action boom
{
set (my, PASSABLE);
my.event = NULL;
wait (1);
ent_create (explo13_tga, my.x, explosion);
set (my, INVISIBLE);
wait (-3);
ent_remove(me);
}

this is a reely big boom

i guess the above could work but it would be unstable in alot of cases, models flying off and other physics problems. better use c_scan and apply a force to all detected models instead

How do you meen that?

say for example, you have a rocket... when the rocket hits, it runs:

c_scan(my.x,my.pan,vector(360,0,500),IGNORE_ME); //500 being the range, you can increase this.

now, every physics object that has enable scan and has the following code attached will be pushed away perfectly... no bugs here:

if (event_type == EVENT_SCAN)
{


VECTOR temp_dir;

VECTOR ex_dir;
vec_set(ex_dir,you.x);

vec_set(temp_dir,my.x);
vec_sub(temp_dir,ex_dir);
vec_normalize(temp_dir,500-result);//500 is the max speed
phent_addvelcentral(me,temp_dir);

}

Now I understand.
I don`t like bugs...

thanks

event scan returns the distance to the c_scan enitity via result.... all i had to do was find the direction of the scanning entity and then propel the scanned entity away based on its distance to the scanner... i could remake my version of the above crysis video but i dont really see the need

event scan returns the distance to the c_scan enitity via result.... all i had to do was find the direction of the scanning entity and then propel the scanned entity away based on its distance to the scanner... its in my video, follow my sig and you'll see it in action

i'm done with physics now though, all i need now is a concept artist or modeler :(( .... [voluntary ofcourse]
