I would like to create an entity and then effect a random way of pushing it away. I know some calculation with the xs functions should be used and since I don't have also much knownledge with velocity and much I would like to know how todo such effect.

Attached is a picture what I would like to achieve.

I think the code belongs to Connor or Exolent or xPaw, I don't know, I try to find the post.

PHP Code:

// In plugin_init()
g_MaxPlayers = get_maxplayers();

new const Float:MAX_DISTANCE = 215.0;
new const PUSH_FORCE = -65;

// In your code:
new Float:vecEntOrigin[3];
new Float:vecVictimorigin[3];
new Float:fDistance;
new i;

entity_get_vector(iEnt, EV_VEC_origin, vecEntOrigin);

for(i = 1; i <= g_MaxPlayers; ++i) { 
    if(is_user_alive(i)) {
        entity_get_vector(i, EV_VEC_origin, vecVictimorigin);
        
        fDistance = get_distance_f(vecEntOrigin, vecVictimorigin);
        
        if(fDistance >= MAX_DISTANCE)
            continue;
        
        xs_vec_sub(vecVictimorigin, vecEntOrigin, vecVictimorigin);
        xs_vec_normalize(vecVictimorigin, vecVictimorigin)
        xs_vec_mul_scalar(vecVictimorigin, (MAX_DISTANCE - MAX_DISTANCE) * PUSH_FORCE, vecVictimorigin)
        
        entity_set_vector(i, EV_VEC_velocity, vecVictimorigin);
    }
}

Since the origin of the ent is the same and I would like to have this completely random, that doesn't really help me.

I don't understand.
If the entity moves, use set_task or a think.

PHP Code:

new Float: vVelocity[ 3 ];

vVelocity[ 0 ] = random_float( -300.0, 300.0 );
vVelocity[ 1 ] = random_float( -300.0, 300.0 );
vVelocity[ 2 ] = random_float( -300.0, 300.0 );

set_pev( iEntity, pev_velocity, vVelocity );

Wow setting actually velocity does do the job, thank you very much.

In case someone can't get it to run, you also gotta set the move type of the entity to bounce.
