The Spinning Physics

programming flash

I was wondering how to create somthing that spins correctly when something hits it. (ie http://www.ebaumsworld.com/warthog.html) The gernades make it spin differently the different distances away they are from the center. That is some serious math. Any help?

Thanks,

I don’t think the rotation is based on the distance between grenades and warthog, it’s the slider value that controls the spin.

I guess, anybody think the spin thing could work though? (another ie. two cars collide in a t-shape and they spin correctly) I am thinking some trig to determine how much a certain distance away from the center point the collision is then the determine how much of a rotation there is and put in effect enertia. YIKES!!!

the physics are complicated but definatley possible. I think I have a new project. :smiley:
