phys_thruster

Point Entity

An entity used to apply constant acceleration to a physics object. The force and torque is calculated using the position and direction of the thruster as an impulse. So moving those off the object's center will cause torque as well. Torque can be removed by unchecking the 'apply torque' flag. The position of the thruster can be forced to be at the object's center by checking to 'ignore pos' flag.

Keyvalues

  • Attached Object (attach1) <TargetDestination>
    Object to apply the force to.

  • Time of Force (0=inf) (forcetime) <String>
    Automatic shut-off after this time has passed (0 = stay on forever or until deactivated)
