The problem is more trivial :) : My model is strictly following
animations (with litle mistake) my intention is to simulate collision
of two walking or one kicking other walking models so that they will
stop follow strictly animation when collsion occur.

What I have now is working like that:

after adding external force into head only pelvis bone follows that
force (b/c its position isn't set by dJointSetAMotorAngle which sets
children pos. only). After collision situation is the same.

My plan is to propgate decreasing weight of animation through affected
by collision bones (bodies). But I'm asking whether it could be done
simpler.
