 *  Definition of a collision as a two WE hit each other
 *
 *  A is shared between two WorldEntity's CollisionHandles if both are subscribed to this event. In this case only one
 *  of the two CollisionHandles will calculate the CollisionReaction and the bDispatched flag will be set afterwards
 *  to signal that it's already cared about and should be ignored.
