Component:RadialForce

Component image

Radial Force component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The RadialForce component makes particles attracted or repelled from a point in 3D space when they get closer or further away. The gradient for the force does not cut off at MinDistance and/or MaxDistance. instead the gradient continues into infinity at the value it was when it hits these values. The Force determines the distance truely if MinDistance is at 0 and MaxDistance is at infinity.

This component is part of the Photon Dust system made by Frooxius.

Fields

Fields
Name	Type	Description
`persistent`	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
`UpdateOrder`	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
`Enabled`	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
`Force`	Float	How much force this component exerts on particles in a system.
`Mode`	RadialForceMode	How to determine how the force is calculated.
`MinDistance`	Float	The minimum distance for the force gradient, aka force gradient start point, the gradient does not stop here.
`MaxDistance`	Float	The maximum distance for the force gradient, aka force gradient start point, the gradient does not stop here.
`MinForce`	Float	how much force should be applied at `MinDistance` modified by `Force`.
`MaxForce`	Float	how much force should be applied at `MaxDistance` modified by `Force`.
`OverrideForceSpace`	direct RootSpace	The space to calculate this component's values in. The values get converted to the particle system's space.
`Center`	Float3	The center point of the force point.

Usage

Attach to a slot, add to the list of modules in a Component:ParticleSystem, and adjust the values to make the desired effect from this component.

Examples

Can be used for orbits, moving particles via a user's hands, and for many other effects.
