The '''addtorque''' command applies a momentum vector (''pitch'' ''yaw'' and ''roll'') onto a physical object. The rotation of the force is given in world coordinates, unless the option ''ltm'' is used. The momentum causes a spin around the object's own geometric center.

If the applied directional forces are too strong, objects may fly through other colliders without actually colliding with them.

==Usage==

'''addtorque''' ''pitch'' ''yaw'' ''roll'' [''ltm''] [name=''name'']

===pitch===
The rotation axes of the momentum applied onto the object is the X world axes (west - east), unless the option ''ltm'' was used, than it is the X axes of the object regardless of its own rotation.

===yaw===
The rotation axes of the momentum applied onto the object is the Y world axes (up - down), unless the option ''ltm'' was used, than it is the Y axes of the object regardless of its own rotation.

===roll===
The rotation axes of the momentum applied onto the object is the Z world axes (south - north), unless the option ''ltm'' was used, than it is the T axes of the object regardless of its own rotation.

===ltm===
The optional ''ltm'' statement sets to use the object's local space insteed of the world global coordinate space.

===name===
The optional ''name'' argument specifies which physical objects with the given name will have torque applied to.

==Examples==

[[activate]] addtorque 0 12 3
When the user clicks the object, it will add a momentum of 12 Newton Meter onto the object and it will start to rotate around the world Y axes. It also adds a momentum onto the object, causing it to rotate around the Z, south-north, axes.
