Function: llApplyImpulse( vector force, integer local );

New page

==Function: llApplyImpulse( vector force, integer local );==
Applies impulse to object 
• vector force 
• integer local – boolean, if TRUE, force is treated as a local directional vector instead of region directional vector. 
Instantaneous impulse. llSetForce has continuous push. "Instantaneous" seems to mean a one second impulse, as an application of a force (in newtons) equal to the object's mass (in kg) for one second will accelerate it to a velocity of 1 (in meters per second), which appears to be what happens with this function. 

'''Caveats'''
• Object must be physical.

'''Examples'''
{|border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
|<source lang="lsl">
//Rez an object, and drop this script in it.
//This will launch it at the owner.
default {
state_entry() {
list p = llGetObjectDetails(llGetOwner(), [OBJECT_POS]);
if(p != []) {
llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE);
vector pos = llList2Vector(p, 0);
vector direction = llVecNorm(pos - llGetPos());
llApplyImpulse(direction * 100, 0);
}
}
}
