Js phys.world retrieve collisions in script
May 24 2013 | 2:04 pm
Hi
is it possible to retrieve information about the collisions made between objects in javascript like the dumpout outlet in a patcher (knowing that all objects are instantiated in javascript, my 3D scene, my world etc...) I have examples like the ragdolls etc...to create objects but I did not find any solutions to retrieve collisions datas
thanks
