I would like to see it where objects can trigger different events. Like a supermarket door, one that slides open when you step in front of it. You would have the door and an area set of in front of it. If you moved an object in that area, the door wold open. and stuff like that. Thing that would be possible? Then one could build different things that only do something if something else is done first, such as maybe a model must hit a button-thing and this would cause something else to happen.

If we were able to use entity names within script, something like "if(proximity(box1,box2)<500);1.0;else;0.0;end" would do it. The way I've written that is probably stupid, but you get the idea... expanding on this, you could have sketchyphysics know an object's position in relation to the origin, something like "x/y/zproximity(origin,box1)", its x/y/z speed and how much it's pitch/roll/yawing. Also use joint names in script, like "0.5-hinge1000", for levers etc. If it's possible, that'd be awesome, if it's not, never mind.
