Weapon's Kickback

How would you be able to increase the kickback of a weapon and make it so that the kickback also pushes you up/downwards, not only forth/back?

Thanks in advance,

Check in a weapon cog in the fired message where it says "ApplyForce(player, someVector);" Change the someVector number to a bigger value.

// Provide a kick backwards
ApplyForce(player, VectorScale(GetThingLVec(player), -80));

Is what it says and I already tried increasing th 80, it pushes you stronger but it still only pushes you back, not upwards or downwards... Though GetThingLVec should return the z-component as well.. Tried GetThingRVec but of course that makes it only worse lol.

you have to know, that GetThingLVec used on the player always returns 0 as Z-Value...

you could bind a cog to the projectile and in it handle the created message like that:

Code: 
created:
player = GetSourceRef();
projectile = GetSenderRef();

tvector = GetThingLVec(projectile);
ApplyForce(player, VectorScale(tvector, -x));

return;


just made this up...no working guarantee

I was just wondering: What kind of weapon could use such a kickback? Noisy Cricker (MIB) maybe?
