[SCRIPT] [SOLVED] AddBodyForce doesn't work

[Kiwi2703]

Hey
I have an area called ScriptArea_2. I want the player to be pushed forward (about 1 meter) and slighty upward (~0.2m) when he collides with the area.
The script looks like this:

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_2", "theforce", true, 1);
}

void theforce(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
AddBodyForce("Player", 0.0f, 500.0f, 5000.0f, "world");
}

I set the values so high only for experimental purposes. The problem is, when I walk into the area, absolutely nothing happens.
Any help? Thanks!

I don't see anything wrong with this. Have you created the script file while the map was open in Amnesia? If yes, close Amnesia, then start it again.

Also, are the names correct? Triple-check, to be sure.

Try this command instead:

Code: (Select All)

void AddPlayerBodyForce(float afX, float afY, float afZ, bool abUseLocalCoords);

AddPlayerBodyForce(float afX, float afY, float afZ, bool abUseLocalCoords);

Yeah, didn't think of ^. Try that instead.

LOL, 2 posts on the same time.

[EXAWOLT]

haha, this do happen us some times^^

[Kiwi2703]

Code: (Select All)

void AddPlayerBodyForce(float afX, float afY, float afZ, bool abUseLocalCoords);

It worked but I had to set the values to 10000.0f and higher... no idea why it wants so much power
Many thanks anyways!

about the callback:
Pushes the player into a certain direction. Note that you need values above ~2000 to see any effects.

Code: (Select All)

void AddPlayerBodyForce(float afX, float afY, float afZ, bool abUseLocalCoords);

It worked but I had to set the values to 10000.0f and higher... no idea why it wants so much power
Many thanks anyways!

Note that rather high values are needed when applying forces.

As said on the script functions page located on the wiki.

Actually, on the scripts page were some really low values.. like 3.5f and such
