Kicking Boxes

[Yue]

I'm confused, the translator doesn't help much, the help says that the first three parameters are to apply force, the rest is the position of some entity, but this continues to release the box sometimes correctly and sometimes incorrectly.

I don't really understand, I can't make it point to the right place. 

 

pick.entity:AddPointForce(self.entity:GetPosition(false), Vec3(0,0,550), true)

You're adding a force in the Z direction.  What you want is somthing like this;

Float angle = player.rotation.y

Float x = math.sin (angle)

Float z = math.cos (angle)

Addforce (position, vec3 (x, 0, z))

No work.

 

function Script:UpdateWorld()

	local mundo = World:GetCurrent()
	local ventana = Window:GetCurrent()

	local pick = PickInfo()
	col = mundo:Pick(self.player:GetPosition(true), Vec3(self.entity:GetPosition(true).x, self.entity:GetPosition(true).y,self.entity:GetPosition(true).z),pick, 0, false )

	local anglePlayer = self.player:GetRotation(true).y
	local xP = Math:Sin(anglePlayer)
	local zP = Math:Sin(anglePlayer)


	if col then 

		if pick.entity:GetKeyValue("name") == "Caja" then
		   pick.entity:SetDamping(0,0)
		   pick.entity:SetFriction(100,100)
			if ventana:KeyHit(Key.E ) then 
			pick.entity:AddPointForce( pick.entity:GetPosition(), Vec3(xP,0,zP), true)
			--pick.entity:AddForce(Vec3(0,0,1000),false)
			--pick.entity:SetOmega(Vec3(0,0,0))
			end 
		end 
	end 

	
	System:Print(xP)

local force = Vec3(0, 0, 1)
force = Transform:Vector(force, self.entity, nil)
pick.entity:AddPointForce(pick.entity:GetPosition(), force)

Unbelievable, if it works, the most horrible confusion is that first goes Force and then position.  That's what the help says.  Today I will be able to sleep peacefully. 
Thanks You!!

	local force = Vec3(0, 500, -10500)
	force = Transform:Vector(force, self.player, nil)

			end 
		end 
	end

It might make more sense to just use AddForce. I mean, the player just wants the box to go forward. They aren't going to be thinking about what point on the box they are kicking.
