Falling" Objects interacting with enviroments

Hi everyone! This is my first post on the forums... though I've been using torque over a year now ( I think ).

I looked around and didn't see anything else talking about this (mainly because I don't know exactly how to classify what I'm looking for).

But Basically I am looking to see if anyone has some sample scripts or just ideas on how to perform a certain action.

Lets say I have a pallet hoisted up in the air. On this pallet in four barrels. As I am lowering the pallet, the edge of it catches on something and tips the pallet at an angle and all the barrels fall off and onto the ground.

I'm just looking for a way to script this to run in real time so it can have a varying effect depending on how the pallet is tipped. And I'd like to use this same script for many different types of objects of varying "weights".

If anybody has and ideas or what not, please let me know.

Thanks!
