Description

Description:

Applies force to given object at given position. Force is defined as vector [x, y, z] in world space, position is vector [x, y, z] in model space. If you need to define force in model space, use vectorModelToWorld or vectorModelToWorldVisual commands first. The force applied as impulse. For more information see NVIDIA docs

ⓘ

Since Arma 3 v2.04 this command can be used on units. It will send the unit into unconscious ragdoll state, similar to how setUnconscious does it (see example 3). In multiplayer, the unit has to be local LALocal on the computer that executed command.

Syntax

Syntax:

object addForce [force, position]

Parameters:

object: Object - PhysX object

force: Array - Force vector (in world space) in format [x,y,z]

position: Array - Model PositionRelative to which force is applied in format [x,y,z]

Return Value:

Nothing

Examples

Example 1:

Apply force [0,1000,0] defined in world space (not factoring object actual positioning) to object position [1,0,0]: _object addForce [[0,1000,0],[1,0,0]];

Example 2:

Apply force [0,1000,0] defined in model space (relative to object) to object position [1,0,0]: _object addForce [_object vectorModelToWorld [0,1000,0],[1,0,0]];

Example 3:

Since Arma 3 v2.03.147267, can be used on units: [] spawn { bob addForce [bob vectorModelToWorld [0,-200,0], bob selectionPosition "rightfoot"]; sleep 5; bob setUnconscious false; };
