Dynamics

Dynamics (or physics) is concerned with moving or rotating objects and prims. They are broken into two categories:

Kinematic

Kinematic functions operate on non-physical tasks and generate motions without consideration of forces and torques.

Function	Comment
`llSetPos`
`llSetRot`
`llSetLocalRot`
`llSetScale`	Not really a dynamics function, as it changes task size.

Kinetic

Kinetic functions generate forces and torques on physical tasks, and the resulting motion is determined by the mass (inertia) of the object or prim. Note that an object's energy modulates the force that is actually applied.

Function	Comment
`llApplyImpulse`
`llApplyRotationalImpulse`
`llGetAccel`
`llGetForce`
`llGetTorque`	Equivalent to `llGetAccel` for rotational movement.
`llGetOmega`	Don't confuse this with `llTargetOmega`. `llGetOmega` is equivalent to `llGetVel` for rotational movement.
`llGetVel`
`llGroundRepel`
`llMoveToTarget`
`llPushObject`
`llSetBuoyancy`
`llSetForce`
`llSetForceAndTorque`
`llSetHoverHeight`
`llSetTorque`
`llTargetOmega`	Applies its spin to physical objects on the server side when object is set physical, if non-physical, this function becomes client side.

These apply to both physical and non-physical entities:
