ThrustThing

Thrusts the thing with the given tid in the direction specified by angle with the given force. Can be easily combined with ThrustThingZ.

72:ThrustThing (angle, force, nolimit, tid)

  • angle: Byte angle to thrust the thing
  • force: The force, in units per tic (1 second = 35 tics), to apply to the thing.
  • nolimit: Must be set to 1 if the thrust is larger than 30
  • tid: TID of the thing to thrust. If this is 0, the activator of the special is affected itself.

ThrustThing can also be used to thrust based on actor angle. 

ThrustThing(angle * 256 / 360, 0, 0, 0)
ThrustThing(angle * 256 / 360 + 64, 0, 0, 0)

The first line will thrust in the direction the actor is facing. Adding +64, +128, or +192 will thrust to the right, backwards, or left, respectively.

Examples

This script combines ThrustThing with ThrustThingZ to spawn an arachnotron, and make it jump ~500 map units into the air and ~200 map units to the east.

Script "Arachnotron jump" (void)
{
    SpawnSpotFacingForced("Arachnotron", 142, 143);
    Delay(1);
    ThrustThingZ(143, 115, 0, 0);
    Delay(18);
    ThrustThing(0, 10, 1, 143);
}
