In my game, when two objects collide the number of points increases. However, it seems like the collision is being detected twice so the points are incrementing twice.

Is there any way I can include a cooldown or another method so that there won’t be repeated collisions?

It may be better to use a trigger, which triggers once on in and once on out even if the body or bodies have more than one fixture.
