is it possible to push an object in a circle

[VirtualKitten]

Please ignore wolfies version I am guessing again from his previous show boat he did that he is  not doing the same thing as usual as the code my college and me are testing why are you bothering to waste time writing something different you are not teaching anyone anything wolfie  . The last time he said he could do something his code was totally different . I did ask you not to comment on my threads Wolfie as you gave no help! I have now put you on ignore sorry but i have asked you not to do this.

Anyway his video showed no movement of the centre item so I know he is not using collision or PushObject as when you bump an item it has wobble on it at the size of mass he had.

I am still getting this side affect of a big push at the start of the collision it doesn't matter what i do to remove it latest code used a bigger item  with bigger mass and cylindrical Se video the Timer gave a delay that got the circle walk but to far away from the item  as the initial push is still to high which we cant seem to avoid.

rotation rot3ToQuat(vector deg) {
    return(llEuler2Rot(deg*DEG_TO_RAD));
}
float  magnitude = 5.0;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetText("",<1.0,1.0,1.0>,1.0);
    }
    collision_start(integer num_detected)
    {
         float  iv     = 20.0; 
         integer count= (360/(integer)iv)+(integer)iv;
              // interval in degrees each cycle
;
        vector i3rot = ZERO_VECTOR;  // Starting rotation in degrees XYZ.
        vector origin = llGetPos();  // Take this to be the circle origin, for the sake of example.
        vector iForceVec;
        float ObjMass = llGetObjectMass( llDetectedKey(0));
        float boxMass = llGetMass();
        llSetTimerEvent(2);
        while(count--) {
            i3rot.z += iv;
            if(i3rot.z >= 360.0) i3rot.z = 0.0;
                        
            iForceVec = <magnitude,0.0,0.0>*rot3ToQuat(i3rot-<0.0,0.0,90.0>);
            llSetForceAndTorque(<0.0,0.0,0.0>,<0.0,0.0,0.0>,TRUE);
            // for demo purposes only.
            llSetText((string)i3rot 
                + "\nForce: " + (string)iForceVec
                + "\n Energy: " + (string) llGetEnergy()
                +"\n Mass: "+(string)llGetMass()+  " lindogram = 100kg."
                + "\nMag: " + (string)llVecMag(iForceVec),<1.0,1.0,1.0>,1.0);
           llPushObject(llDetectedKey(0),iForceVec,<0.0,0.0,0.0>,TRUE);
            llSleep(.2);
           // if(count <365) magnitude = 255.0;
        }
         llSetText("",<1.0,1.0,1.0>,1.0);
    }
    timer()
    {
        magnitude = 255.0;
    }
}

Oh well i don't think this is possible thanks for looking , gives up with this as there is no help on the wiki about how to do this and am fed up with silly people show boating

Ok I have had another look at this and put llGetEnergy() into script to determine if the system has full energy which it does 1.0  at all times

 

seeing your latest video. The script is measuring the energy of the box. When the box is non-physics its energy is always 1.0
