Godot: RigidBody apply_impulse not working with linear damping = 1 with Bullet physics

[karroffel]

Operating system or device, Godot version, GPU Model and driver (if graphics related):
Arch Linux (also observed on Windows 10), Godot 3.0 beta-1

Issue description:

When using a RigidBody in character mode with linear damping = 1 then apply_impulse does not move the body at all.

When switching the physics server back to GodotPhysics then it works.

When using Bullet as a physics engine the result should be the same as with the old physics engine.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a RigidBody, set it to character mode. Make sure it doesn't fall down into the void of meaninglessness where you can't observe the bug.

• Set linear damping to 1.

• in _physics_process use apply_impulse.

• see that it's not moving the RigidBody

• switch to GodotPhysics

• observe that it does move the RigidBody

I'll check it soon

I've tested it and it seems fine. The damping in bullet works differently from Godot physics so this statment is not always true:

When using Bullet as a physics engine the result should be the same as with the old physics engine.

In this case the parameters should be changed according physics engines

So it's not a bug I guess? If so the documentation should be updated to mention this difference between both engines.

@akien-mga yes i think so
