void setHighPriorityContacts ( int contacts ) #

Sets a value indicating if the body has the priority of handling detected contacts it participates in. A contact can be handled by any of the bodies that participate in it. To which body a contact is assigned is random. If the contact is assigned to and handled by the body it is called an internal one, otherwise it is called external (handled by another body). Iterating through internal contacts is much faster than through external ones, so this method can be used if you want a certain body to handle most of the contacts it participates in (i.e., have them as internal) to gain some performance.

Arguments

• int contacts - 1 to set high priority of handling detected contacts for the body; otherwise 0.

int isHighPriorityContacts ( ) #

Returns a value indicating if the body has the priority of handling detected contacts it participates in. A contact can be handled by any of the bodies that participate in it. To which body a contact is assigned is random. If the contact is assigned to and handled by the body it is called an internal one, otherwise it is called external (handled by another body). Iterating through internal contacts is much faster than through external ones, so this method can be used if you want a certain body to handle most of the contacts it participates in (i.e., have them as internal) to gain some performance.

Return value

1 if the body has the priority of handling detected contacts it participates in; otherwise 0.
