How to make kinematic objects push each other?

Hi! I have two kinematic objects, one of them is a player. How to make the player push the object?

When a collision is detected by Box2D you get one collision_response message and multiple contact_point_response messages. When your player script gets a contact_point_response message you need to move whatever object it is you are colliding with to simulate the push. Something like this:

function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
	if message_id == hash("contact_point_response") then
		local object_position = go.get_position(message.other_id)
		-- move object along the collision normal
		-- it could be that you need to change the + to a -
		go.set_position(object_position + message.normal * message.distance, message.other_id)
	end
end
