Telekinesis

Telekinesis gives Game Masters a force-grab ability. Aim at any character, grab them, and they rise into the air wrapped in a purple energy aura. While you hold them they follow your aim. Raise or lower them, pull them in or push them away, then set them down gently, drop them, or throw them.

FEATURES
- Grab any player or AI character you are aiming at (up to 25 m by default)
- Target lifts 3 m and stays suspended, following where you look
- Raise, lower, pull closer and push away while holding
- Three throw strengths: Light, Heavy and Dragon
- Gentle release that lowers the target back to the ground
- Emergency release that drops the target instantly
- Thrown targets ragdoll on impact and take impact damage based on how hard they land
- Purple energy effects on the target and your hands, with an optional dark red variant
- On-screen controls panel that pops up when you use the ability and shows every key and your current throw strength
- Game Master only: rights are checked on the server, not just on the client
- Server-authoritative and multiplayer-synced, with no per-frame network spam
- Automatic cleanup if the target dies, disconnects, enters a vehicle or is deleted, or if the Game Master leaves

CONFIGURATION
Everything is tunable in Workbench on the character and player controller components: grab range, lift height, hold distance limits, movement smoothing, throw force for each strength, impact damage scale, ragdoll on impact, cooldown, effect colour, whether the controls panel starts on, and optional fall-damage protection for thrown targets.

NOTES
