AddForce doesn't work?

Questions & Answers

Why won't this script work? It seems perfectly reasonable to me.

private var canKill = false;

function Destroy () {
    rigidbody.isKinematic = false;  
    rigidbody.AddForce(0,10,0); 
    canKill = true;
}

function OnBecameInvisible() {
    if (canKill) {
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

When I call Destroy(), my object should jump in the air then disappear when my camera doesn't see it, but it doesn't jump. Is it because I'm calling it too soon after setting the rigidbody to non-kinematic?

Thanks - Elliot

No, it's because your force is too small. Use a different ForceMode. ForceMode.Force is designed to be used in FixedUpdate, as it is premultiplied by Time.fixedDeltaTime.
