Component image File:RadialForceComponent.pngRadial 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
| 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.
