love.physics getting collision force

[tsturzl]

I'm trying to find the measurement of force of a collision callback. Any ideas?

I looked at Contact objects, they'll provide friction information but not any information about forces or impulses.

The postsolve callback (World:setCallbacks) has 2 additional parameters for each contact point.

Code: Select all

function postsolve(fixture1, fixture2, contact, ...)
	local impulses = {...}

	local point1_normal_impulses = impulses[1]
	local point1_tangent_impulses = impulses[2]

	-- The following can be nil if there's only one contact point.
	local point2_normal_impulses = impulses[3]
	local point2_tangent_impulses = impulses[4]
end
