> > After experimenting, I think that I have found that ApplyForce only gives an instantaneous force, much like SetThingVel, so no acceleration is produced. Is there a command where a constant force is applied, so that other forces can be laid on top of it, therefore creating an acceleration? I mean it could be done by using SetThingVel, then setting the timer, and returning a different timer id/reference each time, and increasing the speed each time, but it seems kind of clumsy...
