I looked at the docmentation as much as I could but I had trouble finding what it is and means. Can anyone point me to some information that will explain in detail the va part of SetSpritePhysicsAngularVelocity( iSpriteIndex, va )? Thanks!

Angular velocity is the speed of rotation of an object. The va parameter is the speed in radians per second.

Oh I see. So then it doesn't affect the actual movement and path of an object if it collides with something else then?

so 6 would be about 1 revolution per second then (6.28?)
good stuff to know, thanks
