hula hoop toss

Has anyone ever scripted something like tossing a hula hoop in the air and letting it land on the ground? ... horseshoes would be similar.

I don't have a clue how this would be done. tips?

Technically you would only need a ring prim with physics enabled. Drop the prim on the ground,hold the mouse button down over the object and a hand will appear.this lets you know yo are holding it.while still 'holding' the prim,move the mouse around and this drags the prims wherever you move the mouse.I think if you hold Ctrl or Shift gives you the different projection angles;e.g,holding shift lets you drag the prim into the air in a up and down motion,while Ctrl drags the prims erm.. towards and away from your avi.

I may have got the crtl and shift button functions mixed up,but i'm quite sure this is how it works. No scripting needed.

Alternativly, pretty much every gun script does the kind of thing you want, just really quickly - checking a public gun script should give you an idea of what to do.

The particular function you'll want is llRezObject.
