Need help.
I made these cool shootdodging keys... now i have a little problem with the cog... i need to make the player move sidewards, this is what i used:
Code: 
jumpVel = VectorSet(2.0, 0.0, 0.0);

         playerVel = GetThingVel(player);
         newVel = VectorAdd(jumpVel, playerVel);
         DetachThing(player);
         SetThingVel(player, newVel);
         ClearPhysicsFlags(player, 0x100000);


but it makes the player move the x axis, not sidewards, but x-axis of the level [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

Hmm, you might consider firing an object with a 'vel=(2/0/0)', and attaching the player to it...

How 'bout, using the same system that a graple hook uses, just a sideways motion only. I'll get it after soccer. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

So you need a vector direction to the player's right or left? Just use GetThingRVec() to return his right. Scale the rvec by -1 to return the player's left. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
