Any way to modify gravity direction for actor?

Ah I see… If AddForce adds to the object’s acceleration, which should be the rate of velocity (or simply velocity / time) then that makes sense why it already accounts for DeltaTime since time is already integrated to the calculation.
AddImpulse on the other hand definitely does not calculate delta unless you manually multiply the force vector with it (I have tested this, an object will travel way further when the frame rate is higher if you don’t multiply with delta).

So by my understanding, if you multiply the impulse by delta isn’t it essentially the same thing as addforce? uhh I should probably look into the code sometime it’s kinda confusing

I can help… I am a kind of game physics specialist and studied Physix a lot for Unity and other engines.

AddForce adds a perennial force in every physics update (i.e. gravity or rocket thrust…) , while addimpulse does it just once, as if firing a bullet.

Accelleration is calculated as A = F/M where F is force and M is body mass, so no need to use deltatime in either case, since Physix will take care of interpolating velocities due to accelleration

AddTorque works similarly but for angular (rotational) forces, the angular accelleration (a) is calculated similarly to forces but using the inertia tensor on each axis
so a = T/I , also here ignore deltatime
