I’m trying to apply impulse to a rigid body in the direction that my rayCast is facing. How would I be able to do this?

This doesn’t help. I already know about the method. I’m asking how to apply impulse to the direction of a ray casts rotation.

It would be something like body.apply_central_impulse(raycast.cast_to) if the raycast is relative to the body.
