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 <code>MinDistance</code> and/or <code>MaxDistance</code>. instead the gradient continues into infinity at the value it was when it hits these values. The <code>Force</code> determines the distance truely if <code>MinDistance</code> is at 0 and <code>MaxDistance</code> is at infinity.
This component is part of the [[Photon Dust]] system made by [[User:Frooxius|Frooxius]].
