The player is allowed to push things around in the world. Depending on their mass, the objects are considered as ''lightweight'' or ''heavy''. Lightweight objects are kicked as soon as the player runs into them. Heavy objects will stop the player's movement and will require steady pushing before they start to move. The player will have to push against that moveable for a certain amount, before it slowly starts to accelerate and emit its sliding sound. The maximum velocity of that pushed object depends on the player's walk speed and the object's mass. There is a fixed value (200 kg at the time of this writing), above which entities cannot be pushed by the player.

== Spawnargs ==
To disallow pushing of heavy objects, add the spawnarg
"notPushable" "1"
on that entity. Note that this applies only for "heavy" objects.

To allow for pushing of objects the player would not be able to push under normal conditions, the support for a push-modifier has been added. Define the spawnarg
"push_mod" "3" // the correct value depends on the mass and your needs
on the entity being pushed. For instance, a 400 kg object can be pushed with a <tt>push_mod</tt> value of 3.

== CVARS ==
* [[pm_push_start_delay]] defines the delay in msecs before heavy things get pushed by the player. Default is 1000 msecs.
* [[pm_push_accel_time]] defines the acceleration time in msecs when the player is starting to push things. After this time has passed, the pushed object has reached its maximum possible velocity. Default is 1000 msecs.
* [[pm_push_heavy_threshold]] defines the fraction of the player mass, above which pushable things are considered as 'heavy'. Default is 0.75.
* [[pm_push_max_mass]] defines the maximum mass in kg a moveable can have to be pushable at all. Default is 200 kg.
* [[pm_pushmod]] only applies for lightweight objects (below 75% of the player mass, see [[pm_push_heavy_threshold]]). The kick force of the player is multiplied with this factor.
