Is it possible to roll or push something in front of you? Or pick something up and then put it down in a certain location?

Both are possible. For pushing objects, make sure they are dynamic (green glow) and test to see if you can push it. if not go into the properties of that object and turn down the physics weight and friction to taste.

The other has been done with scripting, there are examples in the script board on this.

hmmm.... no I can't get it the way I would like it to work (push). I've tested on the herb ball (different sizes) lol and a couple of chairs.

I've set them to

dynamic (No on static)
physics on
Different settings on Physics weight and friction everything from 0-500, I've tried all different kinds of variations, there's not that much difference in how much they move.

I've used first person and then third person as it was easier to see what's going on.

Physics, isn't the higher the number heavier?
Friction, I know what friction is, but a lower number does that make it easier to move?

I've tried all variations and really couldn't see much difference.

Also have to check what collision mode they are set to. Which defines their shape.

the is not sphere collision yet, so this will be difficult for them. You can set it for polygon detection and it will be better, but no where close to sphere physics. There will be new collision modes introduced to aid with this.

What is rem out? J_C said "if you use the 3rd person character then rem out the [ else ] just above CollisionOn(e)
so much fun.... " I want to have fun and know what to do haha!

And I'm all for smallg getting the user of the month award

I suppose I should ask this in the script forum, but as I already started here....

Is there an extremely easy small lua-school somewhere, I only want/need to understand the basics, well to start anyway. Stuff like the scripts in the Cartoon and the Big Escape.

Thanks

rem out is the part you add before a line to make it ignored by the engine, normally
Quote: "--"
in lua (double minus)

there is a tutorial for beginners scripting in the steam section, i dont really visit the steam forum but i'm sure someone can find it

Inea@

At line 25 in smallg's script above there is an [ else ] statement..

rem this step out... like so

--else

the 2 -- minus signs are the rem statement in LUA...
like it is at step 1 the green text
