Prim Pushing Fun
Foster Virgo Registered User Join date: 16 Jun 2004 Posts: 175	08-21-2004 21:22 Ok got a question on prim pushing. What I want to be able to do is have a bullet that is fired that can push large linked physical prim cubes or spheres, but I don't want the bullets to have any effect on avatars incase of strays or someone landing in front of it on accident. Now the float hitpower seems to be the evil for avatars but is that what will push the prims? The only sample script I could find that is not locked has float hitpower set to something like 100000000, but it's not good if it hits an avatar becuase it throws them way to far.
