Help & Support
1

there is something like translateLocal and translate, but i don’t know how to make a local rigidbody.applyImpulse. pls help.

There isn’t one, there isn’t a concept of local space for physics simulation.

If you need something to go in the local direction of something, you can use the up, forward and right properties of an entity. https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/api/pc.Entity.html#right

eg.

var impulse = this.entity.forward.clone();
impulse.scale(100);
this.entity.rigidbody.applyImpulse(impulse);

I think the impulse offset is in local space (API):

var impulse = new pc.Vec3(50, 0, 0);
var offset = new pc.Vec3(0.5, 0, 0);
this.entity.rigidbody.applyImpulse(impulse, offset);
