object: Object - PhysX object or Arma 3 logo black.png2.04LALocal unit, in which case the unit must be local and will be set unconscious

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:
Can be used on units since Arma 3 v2.04:
if (local bob) then { [] spawn { bob addForce [bob vectorModelToWorld [0,-200,0], bob selectionPosition "rightfoot"]; sleep 5; bob setUnconscious false; }; };
