Setvelocity wont work

[icarus_uk]

I have an object (a barrel), what I give a velocitiy to eg;

objectname SetVelocity [0,0,30]

But the object doesnt move into the air, instead it sits there until I shoot it.

Once its shot it moves into the air as it should.  Ive tried giving it a setdammage but that doesnt work in place of the object being shot.  Does anyone have a solution to this?  Perhaps a work around, an exta command I can put it that will let the object move?

I cant really have a person shooting the object mid mission, it would look out of place.

Try setposing it off the ground slightly before giving it the setvelocity.

Nope, the barrel just moves off the ground and stays there.

Fixed.

I realised that the barrel does need to be damaged, it just needs a nudge.  Unfortunately setpos'ing it didnt work.  So I spawned a grenade underneath it, under the ground, and now it works perfectly.
