Physics
(NOTE) Information about one point of contact in a collision. This is useful for evaluating info about the collision after it happened such as where the objects hit. WARNING: Do not hold onto this after an event is sent out.

Properties
ComplexImpulse : real3
read-only
The total impulse this object applied (only for more complicated logic). The impulse is a Vector3 of the values (normal, friction1, friction2).
var ComplexImpulse : Real3
FrictionImpulse : real
read-only
The total friction impulse that this object applied.
var FrictionImpulse : Real
LocalPoint : real3
read-only
The point in local space of myself in this collision.
var LocalPoint : Real3
NormalImpulse : real
read-only
The total impulse that this object applied in the direction of the normal.
var NormalImpulse : Real
OtherLocalPoint : real3
read-only
The point in local space of the other object in this collision.
var OtherLocalPoint : Real3
Penetration : real
read-only
The penetration of this contact point in the direction of the normal. Note: penetration is always positive and is not flipped for object A or object B.
var Penetration : Real
RelativeVelocity : real
read-only
The relative velocity of this point in the direction of the normal. The relative point velocity is defined as Dot(p1 - p0, n) where p1 and p0 are the velocities of the contact points in the collision of myself and the other object respectively. This value can be used to see how fast the objects are now separating. Also, in pre-collision this value can be used to approximate the impulse of the collision since the impulse values will not have been calculated yet in pre-collision.
var RelativeVelocity : Real
WorldNormalTowardsOther : real3
read-only
The world space normal that points from myself towards the other object.
var WorldNormalTowardsOther : Real3
WorldPoint : real3
read-only
The point in world space of this contact point.
var WorldPoint : Real3
