How to detect if 2 physical objects is still touching or not?

Physics
#1

After collision, I want to check when an object separate from another object. I’ve seen event.contact.isTouching but when I used that, it just continue turning true value but do not return false. Is there someone have an advice for this?

#2

Look for the “ended” phase in the ‘collision’, OR use the ‘postCollision’ event to detect the end.

Thank you roaminggamer, I will go checking that event :smiley:

Hi @jademwit,

The “ended” phase of the normal “collision” event should work fine for most purposes. Post-collisions are a little more unique and should be used for special cases. If you care to learn about them, see the recent tutorial I wrote on the topic:
