LlApplyImpulse

Applies impulse to object

Instantaneous impulse. llSetForce has continuous push. "Instantaneous" seems to mean a one second impulse, as an application of a force (in newtons) equal to the object's mass (in kg) for one second will accelerate it to a velocity of 1 (in meters per second), which appears to be what happens with this function.

• Object must be physical.

 
//Rez an object, and drop this script in it.
//This will launch it at the owner.
default {
     state_entry() {
          list p = llGetObjectDetails(llGetOwner(), [OBJECT_POS]);
          if(p != []) {
              llSetStatus(STATUS_PHYSICS, TRUE);
              vector pos = llList2Vector(p, 0);
              vector direction = llVecNorm(pos - llGetPos());
              llApplyImpulse(direction * 100, 0);
          }
     }
}
