Measuring force of collision

Hi!

I was wondering how can you measure force of collision. I need to measure impact, not precisely but roughly. Then i need to play sound but only once a second not for every sprite colliding at the same time.

You can't do it really (that i know of) because the physics stuff is embedded into Box2D. That's not to say you can't do it yourself. It's mostly just checking a couple of variables rights?

Object1 On Collides with Object2

Object1 Speed

Object2 Speed

Object1 Density

Object2 Density

if your char has a max speed of 500, you can just say, if between 0-100, and collides with something, make sound 1, if 101-200, make sound 2 etc.

It doesn't work cause i need to measure one part of ragdoll. I tried that and the ragdoll just fell to laggy pile of body parts <img src="smileys/smiley6.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
