Difference between "force" and "impulse" - Homicide13 - 04-05-2012
What exactly is the difference between AddPropForce() and AddPropImpulse()? Is it that Force effects the acceleration of an object (f=ma) while Impulse simply sets the velocity of an object? Or is it something completely different. :<

Impulse appears to have complete disregard for the mass of an object. Bodies with joints may be separated from their parent temporarily.

I've always wondered the same thing! Thanks YC!

Alright, so I'm essentially right, but nobody appears to know for sure. >_>
Haha thanks!
