Applying Force to Game Object[SOLVED]

[fromfame]

Hey, im trying to understand how to apply force to a GO that would move in a direction depending on where the player is facing.

All the GOs that would be pushed have rigid bodies.

thanks!

use Add Force, then choose in relation to Self instead of World axis. When the go turns it will always be pushing that force relative to its left/right/fwd/reverse.

Ah ok.

He's storing the Normal, Point and Object, then apply force on those same variables. For Area of Effect, you'll need something else.

I would personally get the $5 Circular Gravity Script from the asset store and create a negative gravity effect that expands from the player, pushing everything away. It handles the AoE much better than other traditional methods would, I think. (btw, ironically his name is also Lane, but is not me.)
