Thrown Object Script

Heres my next script. this one simulates a force upon the selected object by using the RotX, RotZ and Size Y of an object, usually and empty, named Throw.

import Blender

frame = 0
current = Blender.Get('curframe')

throw = Object.Get ('Throw')

tossx = throw.RotX
tossz = throw.RotZ
speed = (throw.SizeY*Units)/FPS

Vvel = math.sin(tossx)*speed
Hvel = math.cos(tossx)*speed

Obj = Object.GetSelected()[0]
name = "Throwipo" + str(Obj.getName())

ipo = Ipo.New('Object', name)
locxc = ipo.addCurve('LocX')
locyc = ipo.addCurve('LocY')
loczc = ipo.addCurve('LocZ')

for c in [locxc,locyc,loczc]:
	c.setInterpolation('Linear')
	c.setExtrapolation('Constant')

grav = FPS * FPS

for i in range(starttime,endtime):
	H = math.sin(tossz)*Hvel
	I = math.cos(tossz)*Hvel
	G = (((9.81*Units)/grav)*frame)-Vvel
	locxc.addBezier((frame,Obj.LocX))
	locyc.addBezier((frame,Obj.LocY))
	loczc.addBezier((frame,Obj.LocZ))
	X = Obj.LocX-H
	Y = Obj.LocY+I
	Z = Obj.LocZ-G
	Obj.setLocation(X, Y, Z)
	frame = frame + 1
	Blender.Set('curframe', current+frame)
	Blender.Redraw()

print "Throw done."

it worked for me so i hope it works for you.

thanks to Theeth for his help with getting this script to work right.

get the script and a demo blend file here http://www.angelfire.com/anime4/nuvares/misc/Gravity.zip Thanks all :smiley:
