How would I go about making an object push another object away from it? Let's say I'm using a sensor. The sensor picks up all the objects around then, and should then push the objects away from it. Is there a way to do this?

trying to make a sheild

? Ya?

llPushObject

no such thing as a perfect sheild. And push scripts can still effect you.

What I meant was.. Say I made an object. Now say I made a ring of objects around the first, all of them set with physics. What I would like to do is be able to detect each object with a sensor, and apply the right push so that I'd be pushing the other objects AWAY from the object in the middle.

Think of it like.. A bomb, with the force of the explosion expanding from a single point.

use a for loop in your sensor and one of the Detected functions to determine what and where the objects are. Then use llPushObject as above to push them. You can use various other functions to determine.

I would suggest not actually ever using such a bomb on people. They're pretty much frowned on everywhere.

I got that much already.

I was just wondering if it was possible to know what the the push force vector would have to be in order to push the target directly away from the scripted object, as if the object is radiating some type of jedi-force or something.

you are no fun.

use a global vector (that integer flag) and just push them with the difference between your position and their position.
