Physics - World Creation

Description

Physics drivers can be assigned to most world obstacles (like boxes, pyramids, and mesh objects) and will then apply different physics to a player's tank, such as moving them like they are on a conveyor belt or launching them into the air, spinning the player, adding sliding (acting like ice for instance), or killing the player on contact.

Attributes

Syntax	Description
name <name>	Sets the name of this object. In many cases, this does not have any purpose and may just be useful for documenting what the object is for. In some case, like for teleporters, this can be used to reference the object from other objects.
linear <velocity_x> <velocity_y> <velocity_z>	Applies X, Y, and/or Z velocities to a tank. Useful for creating conveyor belts or jump pads.
angular <velocity> <x> <y>
radial <velocity> <x> <y>
slide <slidetime>	Defines, in seconds, the time until a tank reaches max velocity
death Death Message Here	This causes objects to become fatal when touched. The death message is sent to the player.

Syntax Examples

Here is one that creates a basic conveyor belt.

physics
    name conveyor
    linear 30 0 0
end

Here is another that creates a bounce pad.

physics
    name bounce
    linear 30 0 30
end

This will make a surface act like it's icy.

physics
    name ice
    slide 1.0
end

This one kills the player when they touch it.

physics
    name mine
    death Oops! You hit a mine!
end
