Applying Force to Part of an Object
Is it possible to apply force to part of an object? For example, in zero G, if force is applied to the corner of one of the faces of a cube, it will spin.

How would I go about doing that? Creating a multi part object and applying the force to the parts?

That could work. You can also specify the position of where the force/impulse should be applied.

Code:
Actor& addForce  (Vec &force,   Vec &pos);
Actor& addImpulse(Vec &impulse, Vec &pos);

Aha! Didn't see that, thanks!
