With that property you could read forces and torque applyed to hinge. Precise and fast.
totImp3 -> [fx,fy,m]
1N is 1/60 (for some reason) so just multiply result to get newtons or Nm.

s_noonan corrected me (thanks):

_forceX = {(readable(entity)).totImp3(0) * sim.frequency}
_forceY = {(readable(entity)).totImp3(1) * sim.frequency}
_torque = {(readable(entity)).totImp3(2) * sim.frequency}

If you want get weight - multiply to gravity strength.

I get the torque thing, that's cool. But the weight seems a bit pointless because couldn't you just look at information or script menu?

Sometimes you need to get force, not weight.

Oh, I get it now.

I wonder if this could be used for a force-sensitive dummy that you could put in breakable cars and stuff. Then when you crash it, it tells you if he would have died or not.

You couldn't use that info window data in your own scripts.

_forceX/Y = {(readable(entity)).totImp3(0) * sim.frequency} is that force what break hinges if it is big enough?

What? No. There is impulseLimit and distanceLimit for that... totImp3 is just for reading.

It's the same with totImp in springs, you need to multiply it by sim.frequency to get the current spring force.
