You still need to calc the direction and when delete point_push after that. It is actually much more flexible, fast and convenient to do it from sourcemod.

Another deal if you want some kind of constant pushing mechanism, only then using of point_push is justified

Well, with point push you can just create a vector some x units away from the client along your sightline, spawn and acivate it, and kill it on the next frame. You can use the spawnflags to make it only hit line of sight entities, or kill it on a timer, and it also calculates the force based on distance by the values you set.

The only one downside is that it will hit other nerby entities, but again, easily resolved by making the push so small that it will only it the client.. Even spawning it within their bbox.

I'd love to learn how to do all that, but don't really have a clue how to! Any chance you could show me some sample code that would do this?

well, i can't show some sample code right now, but take a look at these:

datamap dump
you will need to use CreateEntityByName, DispatchKeyValue, DispatchSpawn, TeleportEntity, SetEntProp... the way to use them all depends on what you're trying to achieve.
