Post subject:  IsScrap denied. How to?
I was just wondering. Can I have a physics affected object in CC which won't be turned to terrain if it lays around too long and cannot be controlled like an actor either?
If so, how would I do it? Also, would it be affected by conveyors? Would I be able to push and blast it around? Could I have it gib or have entry wounds? Can I disable its gibbing?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Yes. You'd probably still use an actor or use an MOSRotating or something of the sort, depending on exactly what it is. All of your asked questions can be done, but currently interactions between MOs including Actors are quite unstable, meaning it would not do well to have it walked upon.

Trying to make a Companion Cube.
Can be tossed around but wont break and most important of all, remains tossable.

Yeah, that's probably doable.

Urgh. I used a MOSRotating, and once it hits the floor it becomes terrain.
Is there anyway I can fix that?

[EDIT] got an ACRocket to work. But now theres another problem. It will eventually scuttle... I might change to Actor to fix that...
[EDIT2] Argh. Now it's a cube, invincible to Bullets, but not invincible to Bombs and Impacts. Any ideas how to make it completely invincible?

Set the GibImpulseLimit to something like 99999999999.

Still suffers damage from kinetic impacts and Bombs.

Turn it back into an MOSRotating.

Add this script to it:

function Create(self)
self.lifetimer = Timer();
end

function Update(self)
self.Age = 1;
self.ToSettle = false;
self.ToDelete = false;
if self.lifetimer:IsPastSimMS(10000) == true then
if self.Vel == Vector(0,0) then
self.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y - 1;
end
end
end

Still doesnt works ._.
It falls and becomes terrain.
Also, sorry for walloftextrape.

Open up the Lua console (~) and see if there are any errors.

Perhaps add self:MoveOutOfTerrain(); under function Update(self) somewhere?

Thanks, Commodore.
That fixed it.
Works fine now.

If by damage you mean it loses health, then the easiest way to fix that would to be to add this bit of lua to the cube:

Code:
function Update(self)   
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      if actor.PresetName == "Companion Cube" then
         actor.Health = 100
      end
   end
end

It is much more efficient to just set self.health = 100.

Post subject:  Re: IsScrap denied. How to?
Just to explain what Allstone is saying:
Code:
function Update(self)   
   self.Health = 100
end

self is an automatic pointer (this is the correct term, right?) to the object the script is applied to.
