Its just a really tiny modification of the force pull cog. It works fine but when I try to push an enemy of a cliff he just stops at the edge and wont go off. Can someone modify it to do that. Also it currently wont push people with no weapon, e.g. civilians and people using fists. Can someone modify it to do that aswell.

Thanks.

I think you just have to detach him and lift him a little off ground...but then again you could just use quib masks cog...

The other benefit to my cog is if you push items, they won't disappear forever/respawn in the wrong spot like they do if you use force pull but don't grab the item. They often respawn sunk in the ground a little, but I couldn't do anything to fix that and am not really sure why it occurs (better half sunk in ground rather than never appears again...).

To do this I simply have the item TakeItem itself, so it disappears and waits the normal time for respawn.

The reason your cog didn't push civilians/unarmed baddies is because you put the push code within if(throwThing != -1) which checks if the baddie has a pullable weapon. Since a baddie with a fist doesn't have a weapon, they weren't being pushed.

Ok new code. I got it so you can push them off cliffs now. Also so that once you push someone you can push them again. Only bugs now: Still cant push civilians or punching people, if you push someone with a gun twice he creates a new gun pickup even though he has no gun.

I know it's been a while since I last looked at this sort of force power thing, but I'm sure there's a "+repel" template that you can fire off at someone in JK. Come to think of it, yes there is as Boc uses it as one of his force powers, not to mention I've got it working in the past, for a custom dark jedi... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I see an error after the CTF flag "hack" line. You have there:

Code:

if(GetThingType(potential == 5))

Shoudn't that be:

Code:

if(GetThingType(potential) == 5)

There might be more errors like this one, but I'm too lazy to read it all through.

+force_repel isn't in every level's templates. All it does it make a force "explosion" that does no damage and pushes with 200 force (the same as the +force_dest2 explosion, just without the damage).

I'd say stick with what you have now... or use the cog I posted seeing as it has pushing scaled to the rank you have push at, pushes items with less force than player (items have much less mass than players so less force pushes them farther than a player), and is a pretty dang good force push cog. =P

Also, I explained why your cog can't push civilians and unarmed enemies; did you not read my post?

I read your post and after taking one or two of those line like that out it aloud me to push away puching enemys but not civilians or enemys who have already been pushed. I managed to get it to push away already pushed enemys but the problem is it creates an additional powerup when pushed. Also I would use your cog but im trying to learn how to do some of this stuff on my own.

If anyone could perhaps point out how I could get it to push civilians??
