<description>
- Applies a positioned impulse to the body (which will be affected by the body mass and shape). This is the equivalent of hitting a billiard ball with a cue: a force that is applied instantaneously. Both the impulse and the offset from the body origin are in global coordinates.
+ Applies a positioned impulse to the body. An impulse is time independent! Applying an impulse every frame would result in a framerate dependent force. For this reason it should only be used when simulating one-time impacts (use the "_force" functions otherwise). The position uses the rotation of the global coordinate system, but is centered at the object's origin.
