Get Actual Collision X,y?

Getting Started Newbie Questions

Is it possible to get the actual x, y of a collision of two objects? I know how to get the coordinates of the two respective shapes involved, but how to get the collision point in-between the two?

 

Thanks!

The only thing I can think of is finding the midpoint of both objects’ coordinates.

local object1, object2 = event.object1, event.object2 local contactX, contactY = ( object1.x + object2.x ) \* 0.5, ( object1.y + object2.y ) \* 0.5

 

contactX and contactY would be the most likely spot where the two objects make contact in an onCollision event.
