Is there a way to tell a collision object to temporarily ignore a collision group

Questions
#1

Currently, in my game, when the player takes damage from an enemy, they take damage for every frame they’re in contact with the enemy and die instantly.
I tried disabling the collision box when they collide (planning to re-enable it after a few seconds of invulnerability) but that leads to the player being able to walk through walls.
Is there a way to make the player collision group ignore the enemy collision group temporarily?

Why don’t you create a variable to track invulnerability?

Just a very simple concept:

if not self.invulnerable then

    --take damage here

    --set invulnerability
    self.invulnerable = true
    timer.delay(3, false, function()
        --reset invulnerability
        self.invulnerable = false
    end)
end
