The sentry guns are just on a little tripod, and are light enough to be carried around by infantry. So would the engine allow pressing "E" to kick it over from behind? I'm not really concerned about balance or anything, just if the engine can handle it.

Re: Kicking sentries
Technically, I suppose it would be possible to transform the sentry gun into a ragdoll, except it's a single piece - so it's free to move around in the game's physics.
And if you apply some HL-style commands to that, then you could, say, pick up the SG and place it elsewhere - while the SG is still active.
Or, you could simulate a kick by transforming the SG into a ragdoll and then applying a force behind it. This way it creates the effect. You'll just be missing the animation of your foot punting the thing.
That's mostly speculation though - I don't know if the tools provided by DICE allow you to fool around like that. That's something you would need to find out on your own.

Re: Kicking sentries
With the current Engine, No, I don't think it can be done... They could easily tweak the engine to do it though. However as the Sirs have been saying, DICE doesn't really have much free will in how they upgrade 2142 right now.
Personally, I don't mind. This kind of stuff will be more than possible on Frostbite

Re: Kicking sentries
One of the greatest idea ever. As I can remember, the first FPS that allows you to kick is Duke Nukem 3D. It could be interesting to incorporate kicking into the game. How many HP should kicking damage to enemy?
With partially destructible environment of BF3, lockable doors and windows may be programmed into the game such that players can shut the doors and windows, while opposing players much kick them open in order to pass through them. SWAT entry maneuver anyone?
P1: Hey some sniper is on the second floor of this house.
P2: I'll kick open the door.
P3: Flash nade.
P1: I'm going in.
Boom! EP [Claymore] P1
Probably good with a new pin: Humiliation Pin: IOR 5 kick kills, and a new medal: Humiliated medal: IOR 15 death by kick.

Re: Kicking sentries
OK I managed this on the pilum currently its alt fire but it makes you smash the weapon so basically 1 hit would set the sentry on fire and 1 hit to a soldier should do around 35 damage
anyone got suggestions on what input i should do it?

Also completely aside, is it possible to add incendary grenades in your mod? Just a grenade that upon impact will disperse a number of those fires that damage players but after a few seconds they will fade away? I think a similar idea had been applied in mods for napalm in bf2.
3K-AL8 Incendiary Grenade would be a leet name :nod:
