I'm still investigating this but haven't got very far. What I'm trying
to do is create immovable geoms by adding an LMotor and an AMotor, both
trying to bring the linear and angular velocities back to zero with
whatever force is necessary. I know the "correct" way to create geoms
that don't respond to collision is to not give them a body, but then if
those geoms are animated in any way then the contact joints have no
knowledge of their velocity, giving an incorrect response. Is there any
other way I can get the velocity information across if the motor
approach is not going to work?
Thanks,
Mark
