Difference between "force" and "impulse"
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. :<

RE: Difference between "force" and "impulse"
Impulse appears to have complete disregard for the mass of an object. Bodies with joints may be separated from their parent temporarily.

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