Question about the applyforce argument

Post by jokooon »

When I apply a force on a certain point, I guess I don't have to recalculate the point, but do I have to reorient the vector force I want to apply ?

For example, if I have a plane and I want to apply a thrust force, do I have to reorient that vector and consider the aircraft orientation ? Or is this force relative to the orientation of the object ?

Applying force/impulse is done in world space. So, for example, if you have a spaceship you need to rotate its thruster impulse as it changes orientation.
