Collision Impact Effects

[Eagle6393]

Currently, in Godot, it's difficult to create visual effects exactly at the point of collision between two bodies. For example, in my racing game, I want to generate spark effects when the car hits a wall, but I can’t get the exact collision position or the surface normal to spawn the particles there.

It would be great if the physics system or collision signals provided more detailed data, such as:

The exact contact point (Vector3 position)

The surface normal

Access to this data directly from GDScript or C#

This would make it much easier to create realistic impact effects, sparks, debris, or deformation visuals, significantly improving immersion and visual fidelity.

This already exists by enabling Contact Monitor and increasing Max Contacts Reported to a value greater than 0 in RigidBody3D.
