Is there an action include in playmaker that allows you to throw an item?

If you're looking for a simple push of force on the object using the built in physics, then you could use the 'Add Force' action and have the values set to match the direction you want the force applied.

Hope this helps!

also, on the object that you are throwing, you should restrict it's movement in the Z axis (if it's a sidescroller you are making) which will make it only move left, right, up and down.
Remember, you don't fail unless you give up trying to succeed!
