Collision Contact Point

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

I am not sure if I have missed anything in the Docs.
I tried searching the forum and the site but it seems there is no mention on how to exactly get the point of contact once a collision occurs.
I know that Box2D exposes this, but why doesn’t corona?

We need this to generate particles whennever there is a collision [object hist wall for example], so we need to know where the hit actually occurs.

There is no way to detect the exact collision point atm.

What you can do is use some vector math to find out the collisionPoint of 2 circles.
If you need any more help, let me know it :wink: [import]uid: 13097 topic_id: 22210 reply_id: 88444[/import]

I do have more complex objects, especially when using physics and colliding with walls.
This is why I posted in this forum as it would be nice to have this [instead of ugly workarounds]. Corona would have to just expose more variables onCollision. [import]uid: 53864 topic_id: 22210 reply_id: 88833[/import]
