Hello,
I try this script:

var earthgravity[3] = 0,0, -386;
function emit_sphere(); //prototype of the function
action sphere

{

my.shadow=on;
ph_setgravity( earthgravity );
phent_settype(my, PH_RIGID, PH_SPHERE);
phent_setmass(my, 5, PH_SPHERE);
phent_setfriction(my, 70);
phent_setelasticity(my, 50, 10);
phent_setdamping(my, 20, 20 );

temp.x=cos(camera.pan)*cos(camera.tilt)*300000; temp.y=sin(camera.pan)*cos(camera.tilt)*300000;
temp.z=sin(camera.tilt)*300000;

phent_addforcelocal(my,temp,nullvector);
}

string mdl_sphere=<sphere_0.mdl>;

function emit_sphere()
{
temp.x=camera.x+cos(camera.pan)*cos(camera.tilt)*100;
temp.y=camera.y+sin(camera.pan)*cos(camera.tilt)*100;
temp.z=camera.z+sin(camera.tilt)*100;
temp.z=camera.z+sin(camera.tilt)*100;
ent_create(mdl_sphere,temp,sphere);
}

on_mouse_left=emit_sphere;

It don't work.I receive this message:

Malfunction W1600:
entity not a physics object in sphere : phent_setmass(my, 5, PH_SPHERE);
phent_setfriction(my, 70);
phent_setelasticity(my, 50, 10);
phent_setdamping(my, 20, 20 );

Can you help me . Thanks

which edition are you using? the physics engine doesn't work in the trial version.

i don't know what could cause your problem...
do you have a sphere_0.mdl in your directory?
gravity is a global setting it doesn't have to be set in the entity's action.

I have A6 commercial.
Ihave a sphere_0.mdl in my directory.
What it means :"entity not a physics object in sphere "?
Strange?

this error message doesn't seem to be included in the manual yet...

try to rename sphere_0.mdl to sphere.mdl because with _0 it expects LOD...

does the error message appear at compilation time or when you press the mouse button?

the error message appear when I press the mouse button.

try to place the sphere in WED and assign the sphere action to it. without the phent_addforcelocal...

does it happen with the first sphere you want to emit or only with the following ones?

Again ,i have the same error message.
it happen only with the following ones.

thuan: I copied your whole script exactly and tested it -> it goes on my system!
Are you sure, there isn't nothing else, which could make the error??
Because - my tip would be:
Make a new level, with only this code... If than the error message also appears it have to be a bug ?!

ventilator: I copied your car code (the VECTOR-"Bug" have I edit! -- so it doesn't explodes anymore ) and have the problem, that the wheels centers its selve (=drehen sich um sich selber...!? ). The aftereffect is, that the car jumps around the room .
...Do you have an idea what's the reason??

Thx,
Clemens

P.S. Man-man... Was ich da für ein Müll unten geschrieben habe . Aber naja, sieh's positiv: Evtl. hätte Marco sonst dein Problem übersehen. Außerdem konnte ich ihm somit mit dem Bilder-Lob eine Freude machen !!!
