Force

Spoiler Warning: This page contains spoilers which may affect your IVAN experience negatively

Force is a variable used only to determine how far an item is thrown with the (t)hrow command. Force is equivalent to the entity's current ASTR.
It is not directly used to determine whether an item breaks from being hit with an attack, that is dependent on the damage value of the attack which may or may not involve Force.

void character::ThrowItem(int Direction, item* ToBeThrown)
{
  if(Direction > 7)
    ABORT("Throw in TOO odd direction...");

  ToBeThrown->Fly(this, Direction, GetAttribute(ARM_STRENGTH));
}
